Phaser Effect & Timing Issues

I am using Fl Studio.

How do you handle the phaser effect? I do not want it to randomly bounce up and down out of tempo with the track.

Maybe some more sophisticated vsts have a tempo sync?

Do any of you resample the phasered parts and choose the best bits?

Is there some complicated calculation to calculate sweep time or something?
 
modulation of a phaser is by lfo you can sometimes set it externally or internally

the maths of setting the sweep frequency is fairly simply

time-for-one-sweep = 1/f

time-for-one-beat = 60/tempo-in-bpm

if

time-for-one-beat = time-for-one-sweep

then

60/tempo-in-bpm = 1/f

rearranging to calculate frequency

f = tempo-in-bpm/60

e.g.

if tempo = 87 bpm then sweep frequency is given by

f = 87/60

f = 1.45 Hz

e.g.

if tempo = 107 bpm then sweep frequency is given by

f = 107/60

f = 1.783 Hz

e.g.

if tempo = 144 bpm then sweep frequency is given by

f = 144/60

f = 2.4 Hz

etc

If you are looking to make your sweeps longer than a beat then you need to divide the frequency for one beat by the number of beats or parts thereof to get the longer sweep

i.e. f = (tempo-in-bpm/60)/number-of-beats

e.g.

if tempo = 144 bpm and I want the sweep to last 10 beats then sweep frequency is given by

f = (144/60)/10

f = 2.4 Hz/10

f = 0.24Hz

e.g.

if tempo = 87 bpm and I want the sweep to last 5.5 beats (i.e. 5 quarter note beats + 1 quaver) then sweep frequency is given by

f = (87/60)/5.5

f = 1.45 Hz/5.5

f = 0.2636Hz

enjoy
 
you can get that to be 10Hz but you need to change the range of the sweep check image-lines help page for the phaser to learn how to do this
