Not an answer to your questions, but...

I find my Serge Frequency Shifter to be an essential tool for sound design.

The 'killer app' for me is the ability to use it with a variable slope filter as follows:

Take a signal into the VSF

Take the lo-pass out of the VSF to an audio mixer (or the hi-pass or the bandpass)

Take the hi-pass out to the FreqShifter (or the lo-pass or the bandpass)

Take the downshift out into the mixer (or the upshift)

You have shifted the cut-out frequencies and mixed them back into the lowpass output. Use the frequency control to shift the boundary point. Use the slope control to vary the 'onset' of the shifted harmonics.

Modulate to suit

Possibly wise to leave word with someone to check on you if you don't surface after a few days :-)

cheers,

Bill

Ok final questions from me for a while (trying to make some decisions
about my next serge purchases)

I have had a few frequency shifters in different formats and really
like setting them for really slow modulations and output the up and
down shifts fully panned left and right. sometimes this can create
really nice slow panning/shifting effects. I've never really cared
much for the high frequency ring modulator like sounds.

1-I've never own a modular phaser, would I be able to get similar
effects with the serge dual Phaser? can someone that have both compare
the similarities and differences?

2-How slow can the frequency shifter go with and without cv's applied,
and does the sound kill?
