If the shifting frequency is e.g. 200Hz an incoming audio frequency of 1000 Hz becomes 1200 Hz, 2000Hz becomes 2200 Hz, 3000 Hz becomes 3200 Hz and so on. Pay attention that this is different from pitch shifting where all frequencies are shifted proportional (e.g. 1000\u0026gt;1200Hz, 2000\u0026gt;2400Hz, 3000\u0026gt;3600Hz) !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frequency range of the internal quadrature VCO is about 8 octaves (about 20Hz ... 5kHz). If required an external quadrature VCO can be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module is equipped with these controls, inputs and outputs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequ. 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: first manual control of the shifting frequency (factory setting: coarse, range about 20Hz - 5 kHz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequ. 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: second manual control of the shifting frequency (factory setting: fine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eby means of internal jumpers the sensitivity of Frequ.1 and 2 can be swapped (i.e. Frequ.1 = fine and Frequ.2 = coarse)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe relation between coarse and fine control is about 25:1 (corresponds to about 8 octave to 1\/3 octave)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFCV In\u003c\/strong\u003e (socket) and \u003cstrong\u003eFCV \u003c\/strong\u003e(small control without knob): control voltage input with attenuator for the external voltage control of the shifting frequency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMix\u003c\/strong\u003e: manual control of the up\/down shift panning unit, fully CCW = down shift, fully CW = up shift, in between a mixture of down and up \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMix CV In \u003c\/strong\u003e(socket) and \u003cstrong\u003eMix CV \u003c\/strong\u003e(small control without knob): control voltage input with attenuator for the mixing unit for external voltage control of the up\/down mixing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio In \u003c\/strong\u003e(socket), \u003cstrong\u003eLevel \u003c\/strong\u003e(small control without knob) and \u003cstrong\u003eOverload\u003c\/strong\u003e (LED): audio input with attenuator, typ. audio in level = 1Vpp, the level control has to be adjusted so that the overload LED just begins to light up a bit, when the LED is fully on clipping\/distortion occurs, when the LED is permanently off the input level is too low and the signal-to-noise ratio increases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio Out \u003c\/strong\u003e(socket): audio output of the frequency shifter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquelch \u003c\/strong\u003e(small control without knob): controls the squelch function: fully CCW (Env.) the output VCA is controlled by the envelope signal, which is derived from the audio input signal, fully CW (open) the output VCA is permanently open (no squelch function),  in between the squelch intensity can be adjusted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuadrature VCO Outputs \u003c\/strong\u003e(sockets \u003cstrong\u003eSin\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eCos\u003c\/strong\u003e): outputs of the internal quadrature oscillator, about 12Vpp level (+6V\/-6V)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExt.
