4-phase LFO driven mixer

I came up with something that I don't think I'd tried before, based slightly on Patreon supporter Mark Davis' mention of the Shepard function. This is somewhat reduced from what I would have liked due to running out of instructions. But it's still pretty unusual as modulations go.

Can you figure out what is going on?

I also created another patch 4-phase-filters-002.spcd that leaves off the slicers and smoothers so that I can use another independent filter.

What is going on is that the sine waves are using the 4 mixer channels to fade the various filters in and out. At the same time, the filters' center frequencies are being varied. But those two control signals may come from a different phase of the LFO for each of the 4 filters. You could also connect all of the filter control inputs to a single phase, or anything in between.

Boy this patch just keeps on giving, I tell you

I replaced a filter with a chorus whose width varies along with one of the LFOs and added a pitch shift of a fifth up (7 semitones) on another one of the phases. This is a very unusual sound and I am not sure I've heard anything like it. 4-phase-filters-pitch-chorus.spcd Try also using an interval of 12 semitones (1 octave) in the pitch shift block.

More patches based on this concept

Quick, make a million dollars on a new pedal!
