MOTM

Hopefully everyone remembers that there is a MOTM version of this coming around the end of
October.... :)

No!  I sure did not remember that.  I would not have "one coming" if I did.
Maybe it's time for Y.A.U. focused on new stuff coming with progress reports
and such on things like 500 and 600 series and other goodies like the LPG
that some of us (like me) may have forgotten about .

Any word on the Encore Frequency Shifter??

The website says "Coming August 2003".  I was off the list for over a 
month, so perhaps I missed something.

I'd like to know too. The specs are impressive. Seems like it would 
be a natural for the Stooges to MOTM-ize.  I'd certainly dotcomize it.

Has anybody actually tried the FS or seen it demo'd?

We are expecting the Encore release to be in a MOTM size format not
requiring Stooge intervention.

We would damn sure you make a dot com panel for it.

It was in Robert Rich's synth at NAMM (I'm not dreaming am I?).  I'm not
sure if that was the final design or what.  I did not get a chance to play
with it.  Roobert might be a good person to ask about impressions using it.

I had Tony demo it for me two NAMM shows ago, it was very 
impressive.
All I can say is that the month isn't over yet. so, let's keep our 
fingers crossed...

Sorry I've been so quiet lately. Things have been very tough this year and Encore music products have unfortunately dropped to the bottom of the list. I was trying to spend more time working on the FS like I mentioned in March, but it was one thing after the other that got in the way.

Anyway, things are still in turmoil, but I've managed to allocate some time this month to give to the completion of the FS. I'm not sure if I will make the August time frame, but it should be very close. I've been working on the FS for several days in a row...(oh, until yesterday's flood occurred in my house...the second one in 9 months!!) I plan on working on the FS full time until it's done. 

I have been getting emails from a few of you privately, sorry if I haven't responded to all of them. My email client blew up a couple weeks ago (never will I use Mozilla mail again) and I had to spend some time evaluating email client software. (Part of the real cost of crappy software)

Anyway, I'll be in better communications this month since I foresee good progress happening now.

Thanks,
Tony

Has anyone had any experience with the Encore Frequency Shifter?
Is it worth buying? or just stick to a Ringmodulator?

Thanks !!

Buy it.  It is several levels better than a ring modulator.  The Encore
module is very high quality, at half the cost of most other Frequency
Shifters.

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:

That should give you any idea how a frequency shifter can go from
subtle stereo effects to completely transforming a sound.

I can't live without mine, I think it should be a required module. 
It's not a ring modulator replacement. And the sine/cosine outputs 
can be used as additional LFOs (in quadrature). I've got some demos 
that feature the FS with my doomsday machine (scroll down to section 
9 on this page):

I am the same, 1 FS & 2 UEG. I agree with what you
said rob.

I keep finding more and more uses for the Encore FS.  Listen to 
Aleatoric Double Harmonic with Frequency Shifter (MP3 link at top of 
page below).  It's basically the Cyndustries Buchla Low Pass Gates 
plinking away.  It didn't have that Subotnick twang until I ran it 
through the FS.  That made all the difference.  Lately I have been 
patching the FS as part of a phase lock loop, an idea I got from 
Electronotes.  It's a very worthwhile module.

This is new news, at least to me.  Years ago Digikey had them but 100
min order or something around that amount.  I used to get a few from Paul.
