[sdiy] Moogey jitter

Absolutely.

But there is a problem with denominations here. I'd call this frequency 
fluctuations. Or like Magnus: wandering, quicker than drift, but slower 
than jitter. (You might even think of drift and jitter being the same 
thing, it merely depends on the timescales on which you observe.)
And I don't see how small fluctuations of momentary frequency away from 
the average frequency would not change the beating pattern. Provided the 
frequency of these fluctuations is low enough, that an effect can 
accumulate over these timescales (several seconds).
Kenneth's sample is too short IMO to really be useful in analysing that.

Cheers,
  René
