Subject: Re: [motm] phase shifting WAS: module concept

Talk about the blind leading the blind here -- isn't what you describe "just"
a filter? And don't all filters shift phase? And isn't there a stash of
CEM3320s laying around someplace in Texas? And couldn't one configure one of
those VCF chips in an allpass circuit to have certain phase shifts?

I think there might be a bigger problem getting phase shifts of less than
multiples of 90 degrees. But didn't Doug K. (or maybe it was Crow -- I can't
remember) try to convince us (especially me) that initial phase was that
important a characteristic for "exotic" timbres?
