Very interesting sound textures can result from a
combination of frequency shifting and frequency
modulation
(see. fig. 5).

Just combining the two VCOs with frequency-shifting
and FM can produce a wide range of massive sounds,
and adding dynamic control of the frequency-shifting
by using an ADSR can make them even more inter-
esting. A whole new category of sounds is waiting to
be explored.

By using a mixer module A-138b, and altering the
relative levels of the Up, Down and original signals, the
tonal possibilities of the frequency shifter can be ex-
panded still further.
