Audio Demos
Phaser With Attitude
From gritty 70s funk sweeps to modern Daft Punk-style vowel effects — FunkWolf delivers analog phaser character that no other plugin can match. Three modes. Endless movement.
Vintage Funk Phaser
Classic 70s & 80s dirty phaser sounds with the Old mode — the same gritty, warm sweep that defined Parliament, Stevie Wonder, and Herbie Hancock records.
Daft Punk Vowel Mode
Morph through A-E-I-O-U vowel positions for that iconic "talking" synth effect — beat-synced or manual. Pure Daft Punk, Chromeo, and modern disco.
Envelope Follower
Let your playing dynamics control the phaser sweep. Dig in harder for deeper sweeps — perfect for funky guitar, clavinet, and bass lines.
OSC Mode
Classic LFO Phaser
The heartbeat of FunkWolf. A triangle-wave LFO drives the phaser sweep — from slow, hypnotic undulations to rapid warbles. Run it free at any speed or lock it tight to your DAW tempo with 7 sync rates from 1/4 note to 16 bars. Switch between Old (wide, bright vintage sweep) and New (warm, subtle modern character) for instant era-hopping.
ENV Mode
Dynamic Envelope Follower
Your playing controls the phaser. FunkWolf's peak envelope follower reacts to your input dynamics in real-time — dig in harder for deeper sweeps, play softer for subtle movement. Dial in Attack (0.1–500ms) and Release (10–2000ms) to shape the response. Perfect for funky guitar riffs, clavinet stabs, and dynamic bass lines.
Vowel Mode
The Talking Phaser
The secret weapon. Map the Phase knob across 5 vowel positions (A-E-I-O-U) for formant-based phasing that makes your instruments "talk." In Free mode, smoothly morph between vowels by hand. In Sync mode, vowels step automatically on the beat grid — a shuffle-bag algorithm ensures no consecutive repeats for natural, unpredictable movement. This is how you get that Daft Punk vocoder-phaser magic.

The Sound Design
Toolkit
Dirt adds lo-fi character — compression, bit-crushing, decimation, and soft saturation all blended smoothly with automatic gain compensation. From subtle warmth to full-on grit, it turns clean phaser sweeps into something with real attitude.
Glaze is a chorus-like stereo widener that adds independent LFO movement to left and right channels. Instant lush stereo spread — from subtle shimmer to wide, spacious modulation.
Combined with Feedback control, Feedback HPF, Output Compressor, and HP/LP filters — everything you need to sculpt the perfect phaser tone.
Old vs New
Two Eras. One Knob.
The Old mode sweeps 300 Hz – 6 kHz for that wide, bright vintage phaser character heard on classic funk, soul, and prog rock records. Think Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" or Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar."
The New mode sweeps 80 Hz – 2.2 kHz for warm, subtle modern phasing. Tighter sweep, deeper low-end — perfect for modern pop, house, and R&B production.
Pro Tip: Combine Old mode with high Feedback and Dirt for aggressive 70s funk stabs. Use New mode with Glaze for lush, modern stereo phasing on pads and keys.
Vowel Engine
Make Your Instruments Talk
FunkWolf's Vowel mode morphs through formant-based phaser positions mapped to the five vowels. Each vowel shapes the phaser's frequency sweep to mimic the resonances of human speech.
A opens wide for bright, brassy tones. E narrows mid-range. I goes tight and nasal. O rounds out warmly. U gets deep and hollow. Smooth interpolation means no clicks between vowels — just liquid, voice-like movement.
Pro Tip: Set Vowel mode to Sync with 1/8T (triplet) timing for that classic "Around the World" rhythmic vowel effect. Add Dirt for extra grit.
