Does anyone know how to go along implementing a frequency shifter in Pd? My brain is defiantly refusing to solve this mystery.

Do you mean "pitch-shifting"? If so, have a look at "3.audio.examples/G09.picthshift.pd" in the Help Browser.

Not quite. Pitch shifting changes all the partials by multiples, whereas frequency shifting (if I understand correctly) adds the same freqency in Hz to all the partials. To illustrate...

Raising the fundamental up an octave using pitch shifting (*2):
Partials (Hz)
100 200 300 400 ... becomes
200 400 600 800 ...

Raising the fundamental up an octave using frequency shifting (+ fundamental frequency):
100 200 300 400 ... becomes
200 300 400 500 ...

I just read about it in the Sound on Sound Synth Secrets articles, and thought it might be fun to play with something like it.

Look at the complex-mod~-help.pd that should be in your extra/ folder

Rock hard, Claudius!

gah!?

thanks maelstorm. i never understood what frequency shifting did until this thread came along.

the rjdj objects have some badass effects, including a frequency shifter and a pitch shifter. check em out
