SYNTH-WERK SW 735 MK II BODE FREQUENCY SHIFTER

video upload by SYNTH-WERK

"The model 735 Mark II is, like its predecessor, the model 735, a most sophisticated and powerful signal processor. In some of its typical applications it can change known sounds with a harmonic overtone structure into new sounds with an entirely different and new arrangement of overtones through additive and subtractive frequency shift. It thus contrasts with and complements the known pitch changers (such as the HARMONIZER), which operate with multiplicative frequency shift.

At the MIX output jacks, a mixture of the OUT A and OUT B signals is obtained, which in the center position of the MIX control is that of a ring modulator.

'...I remember my father telling me that he had completed building his new Bode Frequency Shifter Mark II. This was the unit he built for himself, for his own studio. Soon after, Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk came to visit my father at his home and studio. The Bode family were all big fans and collectors of Kraftwerk music. My father was happy for Florian's visit. He was not planning to sell and part with his new Frequency Shifter. It was a nice visit. He told me, a happy Florian Schneider left with the Bode Frequency Shifter Mark II under his arm.'
