Frequency Shifter MP3's

2001-04-04 by Chris MacDonald

I put up some mp3's of a frequency shifter at work. It's not a Serge FS
though (wish I had one!), it's a prototype design I have been working
on.

The source sound is from an OB-8 (sorry no Serge, faster just to plunk
down a chord).

"phase.mp3" demonstrates the infinite phasing effect produced by
slightly shifting the frequency of the input signal and mixing it with
the original. This is a stereo file with up shifting panned to one side
and down shifting panned to the other. Some feedback is used to enhance
the phasing effect. The start of the file has a few seconds of the
plain signal for contrast.

"up.mp3" is a mono file with the chord being slowly shifted up by
turning the frequency knob.

"down.mp3" is also mono, the chord is being shifted down (sounds a bit
like the tanks in "Tron" to me). Notice how the frequencies start to
rise again as the down shift increases. They are being "reflected" back
up after they shift down through zero hertz.
