01Overview

Ripple Phaser from Minimal Audio is built around phase manipulation rather than classic phasing alone. Its seven modes cover variations on traditional phasing, unique filtering and all-pass dispersion. The developer describes the plugin as injecting liquid character and animated movement into a sound. It runs as a 64-bit plugin on Windows and macOS, and it comes with a preset library for quick starting points.

Sound Character and Phase Control

Ripple Phaser goes beyond a standard phaser by combining several modes in one effect. Each mode can be shaped across multiple dimensions using frequency and resonance controls, so the same mode can produce a wide range of tones.

With up to 24 notches, extensive stereo control and a draggable display, the plugin supports complex spectral shapes, wide phase rotation and modal resonator effects. Users who want precise, visual shaping of the notch pattern will find the draggable display useful.

Modulation and Workflow

An onboard LFO can route continuously between three controls. One of these is a distinct bend parameter, which the developer points to for creating barber pole effects. The LFO shape, randomization and stereo offset can be adjusted to craft different movements.

The included preset library covers unique filters and animated effects, which gives you a starting point before you adjust the controls yourself.
