"Nü Müzak" video made with MSGs. The muzak (haha) was made with Bespoke Synth (cool free modular music program). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRSzm1-QBMI&t=305s&ab_channel=Thorrific

I am looking for an Art Deco type effect, does anyone have that type of effect...?
Read more…Is anybody making a copy of all the material in the Tutorials Forum
Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…
Read more…Studio Artist is in Italy!
I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding! (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor

I'm assuming you are talking about the phase parameter option associated with the temporal generators. So if a temporal generator isn't attached to a specific MSG parameter, you can just ignore the phase setting. If the parameter has a temporal generator attached to it, then the phase can be thought of as a time offset associated with a time based oscillator.
Assume you are using something like a ramp or sine wave oscillator for your temporal generator. You can think of the phase as being the fraction of the wave cycle that has elapsed relative to the starting point of the oscillator cycle. Here's a wikipedia page that talks about the phase of an oscillator and phase shift (for the technically inclined).
If you have a background in music synthesis then adjusting the phase of an oscillator is probably going to make intuitive sense. If you don't have that background, then this diagram from the wikipedia page i refer to explains it best.
The increment parameter for a temporal generator specifies the length of an oscillator cycle in frames. The phase is offsetting the positioning of the oscillator, where a phase of 0 or 100% both start the oscillator cycle at frame 1. Remember, oscillators repeat a pattern over and over again. So shifting the phase is shifting the position of the wave cycle on the horizontal time axis.
