Unlock the sonic possibilities with the Buchla 297 Infinite Phase Shifter, a pivotal addition to any modular synthesizer setup. This ingenious device is more than just a phase shifter; it’s a gateway to creating unparalleled audio landscapes. With its ability to displace phase up to an impressive 1,800°, the 297 offers an extensive palette of modulation options that cater to both experimental sound designers and precision-focused musicians alike.

The module is equipped with a suite of voltage-controlled parameters, including phase shift, notch depth, sweep rate, sweep depth, and resonance, granting you the flexibility to sculpt your sound with finesse. Additionally, the Buchla 297 allows you to blend the dry and wet signals, achieving a warped comb filter effect that adds a unique texture to your compositions. Its amplitude-dependent envelope follower is particularly noteworthy, providing nuanced control over the dynamics with selectable speeds—slow, medium, and fast.

For those who crave a continuous evolution in their sound, the 297's "barber pole" phasing section is a standout feature, with the ability to modulate up to 2.5 octaves per second. This capability opens up a world of continuously shifting sonic landscapes, perfect for ambient and experimental genres. Whether you’re aiming for subtle phase shifts or bold, sweeping transformations, the Buchla 297 Infinite Phase Shifter is designed to inspire and elevate your musical creations.

Key Features:

• Phase shift, notch depth, sweep rate, sweep depth, and resonance are all voltage-controlled
• Built-in envelope follower with three variable speed options
• 10-stage phase selector for diverse phase effects
• Option to mix dry and wet signals for a comb filter effect
• Barber pole phasing with modulation up to 2.5 octaves per second
