5 - Effects Core Effects Descriptions Freq Shifter This unusual effect is sometimes called "spectrum shifting" or "single sideband modulation." Frequency shifting shifts every frequency in the signal by a fixed number of Hz which causes the harmonics to lose their normal relationship. The more common pitch shifter, in contrast, preserves the harmonic relationships of the signal and so is better suited to creating "musical" harmonies. This isn't to say that the frequency shifter can't be used musically. Small intervals of frequency shifting (1 Hz and below) can produce a wonderful, lush chorusing or phasing effect. For bizarre frequency shifting effects, simply crank up the frequency knob. Frequencies can be shifted up or down by any specified amount from .1 Hz to 24 kHz. You can also shift pitch up on one side and down on the other if you wish. You can also type in exact frequencies to a resolution of 1/10 Hz.
