BLEASS released Phase Mutant

BLEASS Phase Mutant harnesses the principles of frequency modulation (FM) and applies them to any input signal. The input signal can be modulated by itself, can be modulated by a generated signal, or can modulate a generated signal. Each option opens up swathes of fascinating and complex sonic textures.

Developing BLEASS Omega gave us the perfect opportunity to take a deep dive into the fascinating sonic capabilities of FM synthesis, and this sparked an innovative idea: A plugin that can apply the principles of frequency modulation to literally any source material.

Where existing phase distortion plugins create their effect by using an audio input signal to modulate itself, BLEASS Phase Mutant takes things to an entirely new level with the addition of an oscillator that can modulate the input signal or be modulated by it. This allows BLEASS Phase Mutant to fully harness FM’s ability to create complex and colourful harmonic distortions, achingly expressive tonal variations, and fascinating sonic hooks.
