New Frequency Shifter from Blacet announced

2002-03-03 by Roel Steverink

Hi all,

I was visiting the site of the canadian modular builders Blacet and saw that they announced in short a Frequency Shifter. To wake the appetite, 6 MP3 files you could download to hear how this new upcoming module can sound! 
It sounded really impressive!!! It was, if I had landed in a Sci Fi movie! 
Now I heard it, I'm very curious after the price. I don't think this module will come cheap. Frequency Shifters are very complex modules, which will blend in the price. 
I saw in Synthesizers.com also a frequency shifter in the making, but this will take a while. 

Just a question, why has Doepfer no mp3 samples of this module??? I know that the analogue systems Frequency Shifter is above my financial capacities. To my surprise Bob Williams from Analoque Systems told me that to his own suprise this faithfully restored reproduction of the Bode Frequency Shifter is selling like crazy. The module costs € 1000!!!! So I have to settle for the Doepfer one, with lesser wide range or one from the competition a bit more expensive, but with more richness in sound. 

So why gives Doepfer no samples of this module on their site??? If I could here for myself and how impressive it sounds, I don't have to look at other competitors! Is it not so good sounding, are they afraid that it gives negative view on the A 100? I would like to see a sample of this module?

What do you think?

Roel.
