Yes, these are the applications I have in mind. Just a delay between the
upshift and downshift might not create great results, but a comb filter
from a fixed delay, mixed with the straight signal, between up- and
downshift might be interesting.
Int's always imortant that the shifted signal is still in a frequency range
which the downshift-dome-filter can handle.
Also interesting: downshift -> comb filter -> upshift. (Maybe)
