What BLEASS Phase Mutant does
The developer describes its aim as harnessing FM’s ability to create complex, colourful harmonic distortions. An internal oscillator tracks the pitch of the input signal, and a factor sets the multiplier between the input pitch and the oscillator, shown as a ratio value from 1:8, three octaves below the detected pitch.
The oscillator can produce a range of different waveforms, and these are spread across the stereo field by offsetting them between channels. It is available as VST3, AU and Standalone for Windows and macOS (64-bit). Phase Mutant is an effects plugin in the distortion category, and a trial is available.
Key features
- Phase FM algorithms. Three algorithms set which signal is the modulator and which is the carrier: the oscillator modulating the input, the input modulated by itself, or the input modulated by a generated signal, with the generated signal itself optionally modulated.
- Pitch tracking response. The oscillator follows the pitch of the input. Fast times suit close pitch tracking, while slightly longer times of 10 to 30 ms smooth the response.
- Stereo waveform spread. The generated waveforms are spread across the stereo field by offsetting them between the left and right channels.
- Repack, .rar and .iso builds. The repack is packed as .rar and .iso files, and a portable version of the release is what most torrent and magnet link listings describe.
Use cases
- Harmonic distortion on any source. The FM principles apply to any material, so the plugin can be inserted on sources that are not phase distortion candidates.
- Stereo colouration. The offset waveforms across the stereo field give a width effect on sources routed through the plugin.
Compatibility
Phase Mutant is available as VST3, AU and Standalone for Windows and macOS (64-bit), with native Apple Silicon support listed.
Who it is for
The plugin suits producers and sound designers who want harmonic distortion built from frequency modulation and who work with a range of source material, from drums to synth parts, rather than with the input signal alone as the modulator.
