The bode Shifter module
It allows the creation of a huge number of unique sounds, which we will see, in the two following examples:
9.4.1.1More stereo width
Obtain more stereo width by slightly dephasing the pitch of the sound. Take as an example the preset “Bode_Bass” (in the “Factory” bank).
For this very simple preset, we will use an oscillator where the “sawtooth” signal will be directed straight to the Bode Frequency Shifter audio in.
The A and B outputs on the Bode Frequency Shifter are directed towards the inputs for VCA1 and 2. The panoramic knobs are turned to the left for VCA1 and to the right for VCA2 to obtain a stereo sound.
The main tuning frequency on the Bode Shifter is placed at 0.000 Hz (“amount of shift” knob centered). The “Scale” setting is placed to position “5” (the variations in height are very weak). Also, leave the “Mixture” setting at the center (it won’t be used in this example)
A slow modulation is applied to the Bode Shifter frequency thanks to the sine signal of a LFO.
The modulation phase being inverted on outputs A and B, you obtain a very natural dephasing between the left and right signals.
This effect could be compared to a short reverberation effect if the modulation rate is weak or “chorus” if we increase the modulation rate.
