Analogue Systems RS240 Bode/Moog Frequency Shifter

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"The module has been infrequently used. There is some rack rash as shown in photographs. This listing is only for the RS240 Module and the Doepfer to Analogue Systems power adapter in the power connector, see photo. It does not come with a power cable. The module functioned properly when I tested it last week. The module is not specifically in a Eurorack format (see the Analogue Systems website), but fits nicely in a Eurorack case.

With regard to the adapter to allow use of a "Doepfer" style power cable be sure to align the red stripe on the Doepfer power cable with the end noted "Red" on the PCB. There is also a red stripe on the adapter. It works fine with the +/-12 and +5 volt supply from a Doepfer power supply.

If you are not familiar with Analogue Systems or this particular module, I suggest going to the Analogue Systems web site for more information and the manual. Big City Music also has a listing for a new module with a link on their page for an installation guide.

Analogue Systems

This is an amazing and accurate reproduction of the original Bode/Moog 1630 Frequency shifter in a wonderfully compact form. It has all the features of the Bode/Moog 1630. One very nice and notable behavior is there is no "dead zone" when shifting through zero. Many (all?) the original/vintage Bode/Moog 1630 Frequency Shifters exhibit an annoying dead zone when shifting through zero (I know that at least one of the modern clones has a "dead zone" as well*). That is, the shifter stops shifting the frequency creating a region where no shift occurs as one approaches and moves through zero. The Analogue Systems RS240 doesn't do this. Rather, there is a smooth transition through zero which is far more useful and the correct behavior.

SynthAl on YouTube has a short video which seems to show this 'dead zone.' [see here] "

List Price: $149 (in stock and immediately shipping from our factory)"

BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER 1630

"Shift into high gear and get ready for that drop because the BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER 1630 from Behringer is here! Expand your setup with an authentic recreation of the famous module from the ‘70s made with state-of-the-art circuitry including a voltage-controlled beat frequency quadrature oscillator. The BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER just might be the piece you need to fill out that empty slot in your setup.

Ready for Any Signal

The BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER accurately shifts the entire frequency spectrum of any input signal from -5 to +5 kHz. Simply plug in any audio source and start turning the giant knob to lower or raise the frequency. The amount of shift can also be varied with the Scale knob which lets you switch between linear or exponential control.

Controls

Additional controls on the BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER include a variable threshold squelch which minimizes carrier bleed-through and can be used to creatively alter the input signal’s characteristics. Up to three control voltages can also plugged in, as well as up to four output signals.

Bode Vocoder Model No V-7701

via this auction

"It doesn't get much rarer than this groundbreaking and historic vintage vocoder.

The Bode design was licensed to Moog for their vocoder, the only real difference being the rebranding.

Harald Bode was a pioneer of electronic instrument design and responsible for many of the circuits and concepts we take for granted today. Most of his designs were incorporated into products for other companies (Estey, Wurlitzer, etc) but the most revolutionary bore his own name. The Bode Frequency Shifter and Bode Vocoder are arguably to most coveted of these. The model 7701 is a very rare of version of the already incredibly rare Bode Vocoder. I have never seen another and it may have been an early prototype build though the build quality is top notch. It is entirely likely this is the only one or one of only a handful of units made.

This unit is working and sounds incredible."

1630 Bode Frequency Shifter

SYNTH-WERK Introduces SW 1630 BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER & SW 735 Rack Version

via SYNTH-WERK

"After long and intensive research & development work we are very proud to announce our newest creation, the SW 1630 & 735 BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER. The first batch of 10 units is already build and sold to our friends from the waiting list.

From today on the Module is available and can be ordered.

Price:

SW 1630 BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER : 1.950 Euro + TAX
SW 735 rack version: 2.150 Euro plus TAX"

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
A frequency shifter is an audio signal modifier which shifts the entire frequency spectrum of the applied signal by a given amount. The Model SW 1630 Bode Frequency Shifter allows the amount of shift to be accurately and continuously controlled over a span of -5000 Hz to +5000 Hz, utilizing voltage and/or manual control. The relationship between the control voltage sum and the amount of shift may be either linear or exponential. Up-shifted and down-shifted outputs, as well as a continuously variable mixture of the two, are available simultaneously and independently. Variable threshold squelch and zeroadjust fine tuning controls are provided.

The Model SW 1630 Bode Frequency Shifter changes the ratios between the frequency components of an audio spectrum, thus producing a variety of novel sound quality transformations. Applications include a wide variety of tone color modification, P.A. feedback suppression, linear frequency modulation, novel tape feedback effects, and the generation of dynamically varying clangorous tones.

MUSICAL APPLICATION
In shifting the components of the input audio spectrum by a given amount, the SW 1630 Bode Frequency Shifter changes the original ratios between the overtones and other frequency components of the input signal. Rather than being a transposing device, this instrument is a means for achieving an extremely wide variety of tone color modification. Whether the amount of frequency shift is large or small, static or time varying, or whether the input signal is simple or complex, the processed outputs will generally be musically interesting."

Modular Moog Analog Sessions by Riccardo Fassi

Published on Mar 30, 2020 Riccardo Fassi

"This set of recordings was conceived as a spontaneous improvisation inspired by the sound of Moog Modular systems in all their infinite possibilities. The idea is to use these wonderful vintage instruments in an open way to make immediate and compelling music. Modern technology offers unlimited possibilities, but it is precisely the apparent limitations of these "electronic dinosaurs" that unfold endless tonal resources and effects to produce boundless and novel solutions. I want to thank the great drummer Davide Pettirossi for the fantastic groove in the songs Slow Cat and B. Groove.

Questo insieme di registrazioni è stato concepito come una spontanea improvvisazione ispirata dal suono del Moog Modular e di tutte le sue infinite possibilità. L'idea è proprio quella di utilizzare questi meravigliosi strumenti vintage in modo aperto per fare musica immediata ed urgente. La tecnologia attuale offre illimitate possibilità, ma proprio nell'apparente limite di questi "dinosauri elettronici" si svelano continue risorse timbriche ed effettistiche, che possono essere usate all'infinito trovando sempre nuove soluzioni. Voglio ringraziare il grande batterista Davide Pettirossi per il fantastico groove nei brani Slow Cat e B. Groove.

Update2: You can sign up to be notified with the Kickstarter launches here.

Update: some info on the module via https://synthtech.com:

"INTRODUCING THE E520 HYPERION, A STEREO EFFECTS PROCESSOR

Kickstarter campaign launches on Nov. 15th and the KS page will activate on Nov. 10th. Estimated shipping: late May 2020.

OVERVIEW

The E520 Hyperion is a mono/stereo in, stereo out effects module. It is 48HP wide and uses less than 300ma of +12V and less than 70ma of -12V.

Powered by a 480MHz ARM Cortex M7 CPU, the E520 has 64MB on on-board SDRAM for recording up to 6min of stereo audio at 48KHz sample rate. The LCD screen and optical encoder navigation uses the same 'shallow' menu scheme of our E352 and E370 modules, with the addition of 4 'soft keys' for selecting options without having to leave the main page.

The E520 uses a premium audio path not usually found in Eurorack. Crystal Semi CODECs, TI OPA-series op amps and WIMA film caps in the output stage are used along with low-noise, dedicated LDO voltage regulators for a clean, full soundstage. Audio conversion uses 48KHz sample rate, 24bit resolution with a line or synth level setting.

Please note this is a 'living document' and subject to modification at any time over the next 8 weeks.

Club of the Knobs - COTK Bode Frequency Shifter - Moog 1630 Bode Shifter Clone SN 2538

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"This is a used Club of the Knobs - COTK - C1630. A clone of the Moog 1630 Bode Frequency Shifter. A really stunning module that has all the behavior, quirks, and richness of the original. I just want the rack space for other modules, like a COTK envelope follower, and a couple of others I'm thinking about :)

This is used. Built in November 2013, delivered in January or February of 2014. Serial number C 2538. It consumes 3U in width and is a full height module compatible with any Moog style cabinet format.

I've been using it with a Synthesizers.com QPS5 power supply (inside is a Power One linear supply) connected to a COTK power distribution strip. I've had no problems with this setup, but you will need to provide proper power for the module. See the COTK web site for technical details.

There is no "manual", but moogarchives.com has the instruction page from the original Moog manual.

You will get what you see in the photos:

The module;
The power cable; and
Three spare lamps.

The lamps aren't hard to find. You can get them in bulk from Mouser, singles from Synthesizers.com. I just think it's handy to have a couple of spares...

The last I checked, 5/5/2018, the new price was 970 Euros, about $1100.00 - $1200.00 USD, see COTK web site for pricing."
