BARBERPOLE PHASER from SYNTH-WERK Coming to SUPERBOOTH

via SYNTH-WERK

"As you already know from our previous announcement about our cooperation with the ZKM and University of Music in Karlsruhe we are in the process of reconstructing the first device out of the Harald Bode archive. [see previous posts here]

We would love to give you first hand information about the BARBERPOLE PHASER from SYNTH-WERK at the Superbooth23 in Berlin."

SYNTH-WERK Introduces the SW 1P-2022 and SW 2P-2022 Modular Systems

via SYNTH-WERK

SYSTEM SW-1P-2022
FOR STUDIO AND STAGE

A MATTER OF TASTE AND IMAGINATION

Despite the initial version from 1969 we added a SW960 Sequencer which was an option back then.

By gaining one open slot in the reconfiguration process, you also might like to add another sought after classic to your system, for example the SW962 Sequential Switch or our celebrated recreation of the famous Bode Ring Modulator SW6401M.

SUPERBOOTH 2021 - Synth-Werk 5U Bode Freq Shifter

video upload by sonicstate

"5u Modular doesn't usually get much of a look in at Superbooth. And here at Sonicstate we're aiming to change that this year by visiting Synthwerks and checking out their new Bode Frequency Shifter. We also a demo from the Synthwerks system that was on show this year. Big sounding synthesizers from the big daddies of modulars."

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."

"This is something I've been thinking about for a long time, a separate video breakdown/rundown for each of my separate modular synth systems. I have about eight 5U modular systems and about four Eurorack modular systems to do so it will take a while to get through them all.

Introducing the SYNTH-WERK SW 6401M Bode Ring Modulator 5U Module

via SYNTH-WERK

"It was probably electronic music pioneer Karlheinz Stockhausen’s use of the ring modulator that inspired an entire generation of rock musicians. Stockhausen’s Mixture (1964) for example, was written for a ring modulated symphony orchestra.

Ring modulation is often used to simulate the sounds of tuned percussion instruments that produce inharmonic frequency spectra, such as bells and chimes. It can also produce timbres that are difficult to achieve by any other method of synthesis.

Among all signal processors the multiplier-type ring modulator takes a unique position, since it is capable of converting existing sounds into new sounds with entirely different overtone spectra.

The SW 6401M is based on the original design of Harald Bode from 1967. The design is a circuit involving a ring of diodes and transformers forming a four quadrant multiplier. To accomplish a one unit module, the transformers UTC-A20 have been replaced by smaller vintage UTC SO 15P transformers"
