Polyphase sound w/o the polyphase

[mth5044]

We have the echo base which copes some nice DMM sounds and plenty of other more simple/easier parts to source projects for effects that are tough to build, but do we have anything to get the polyphase sound?

I'd imagine it could be done with the good ol' pt2399's. Anybody have a go at it yet? Any other ideas?

I thought the polyphase is basically a phaser which is phase delay and not time delay like an flanger/echo etc. Right?

[mth5044]

I don't think the polyphase is based on a phaser sound. It does chorus and flange and some other settings.

That's kind of like asking for a "moog synthesizer sound without the moog synthesizer" or "swiss army knife without the swiss army knife".

The polyphase does a *lot* of different things, many types of LFO driven phasing as well as envelope driven effects. What you have asked for is very broad. You're going to have to be more specific about exactly what kind of sound you are looking for, before anyone can be helpful.

The EH polyphase is what I'm talking about. I'm probably thinking of the wrong one, eh?

[Ripthorn]

And this whole time I was thinking of a polyphase filter, like the ones used to reduce fft computation times.  There's a pedal called the polyphase, then?

[synthmonger]

Yeah EH released a pedal called the stereo Polyphase. LFO/EG phase shifter combo.

Chorus & Flange sounds would be the EH Polychorus...

  There are many bells and whistles to choose from on that box.
  To get simple and easier would pretty much require a reduction of B's 'n W's.
  Choosing the ones to 'toss' and the ones to keep would be a good place to start, but I don't really know where exactly.
  A whole lot simpler may not be possible, I think some of the 'bells' are involved with the basic function, always in use for the sounds that define ''Polyphase'', so to get any of those sounds would require these relevant 'bells', and the chips / complexity of the circuit.
