Manifold Research Centre Ubique Feedback Phase Network (BPNYC)

Feedback phase network

Ubique is a feedback phase network,
a lens into the micro time domain,
consisting of 2 distinct but en-
tangled cores:
LEFT: A BBD flanger/short delay
based on V3205D, with a range from
5ms to about 250ms;
RIGHT: A transistor ladder 10 stage
phaser;
Each one of the sections has its
own audio input with attenuator
(AUDIO IN), output (OUT), frequency
(FREQ) and feedback controls
(FDBK), CV inputs over frequency
with attenuverters (CV) and CV in-
puts over resonance (Q CV).
LEFT side features a DRY/WET con-
trol (only for the flanger out),
and RIGHT side an INVERT switch (to
change the color of your phasing).
But why entangled?
The flanger output sums to the input of the phaser, and the
phaser output, through the FDBK fader, sums back to the input
of the flanger, allowing an infinite feedback loop: flanger
into phaser into flanger into phaser into flanger…etc…
These 3 feedback controls live in a precarious balance
between each other, allowing you for a vaste feedback sonic
palette, metallic sounds, snare-like noise, Donk kick drums,
phaser comb filter harmonics that are related to flanger fre-
quency, it sings, it screams, it distorts (but it can also be
gentle).
Separate INs means you can sum different signals in ubique,
although this process in non destructive in terms of entan-
glement, the feedback and summing at the inputs will always
happen (except with 100% DRY).
Separate OUTs means that you will hear 2 versions of the same
story (since you are tapping at 2 different stages of the
feedback path).
The dry/wet control is the only thing that is gonna let you
control the entanglement, till you can break the feedback/
fader control and leave the phaser completely on its own
(fully DRY settings).
