Yes, I have an Encore frequency shifter. While I rarely ever use my
MOTM VCA's as ring modulators (and imho, the 110 is much better than
the 190 in that regard), I use my frequency shifter all the time. In
fact, besides the 800, I think I use it more than any other module.
However, that does not mean you should buy one.
This is a demo of an Encore frequency shifter being controlled by a
single CV. A mono 909 drum pattern is sent to its audio input, and
its two outputs are recorded in stereo. That's it. There are no
other effects. Except for the opening bar, there is no change in the
drum pattern. There is no knob tweaking. It's completely hands off.
All changes are done entirely with frequency shifter:

subtle stereo effects to completely transforming a sound.
