Achieve a very liquid phaser type sound (example provided)

The first one has a pretty high resonance. I agree, it sounds like more than you can get out of a biphase or moogerfooger. Since it's on a synthesizer, I'll take a guess that it could be a BP filter driven by a triangle wave, rather than a dedicated phaser.

The last one sounds like a talk box with an envelope filter. I find it annoying.

It would be cool to find out what they are. I love a good phaser.

Yeah I understand it being annoying, the first three are from a guy making mostly experimental stuff.

As for a bandpass, I have a few analog synths and when controlling the filters with voltage I never get such a liquid sound if you see what I mean. It does sound a bit like a formant filter on some notes...
My first guesses were that it was a lush phaser controlled with an external voltage, but it didnt seem to be that when I tried it with the few phasers I have.

The Ensoniq samplers and rack FX had that "formant" effect 0 sounded exactly like that - very cool

The freebie Kjaerhus "classic" VST phaser can get the sound in the first one

No question, it's NOT a phaser. There's too much of that "pukey" sound you get from increasing the resonance around the filter point. So, what you need is a filter with an LFO, triangle wave, resonance set tastefully, probably low-pass but with the center frequency fairly high. Almost any synth, and things like the MF LPF will do this for you.
