ARTURIA – Modular V – USER MANUAL
126
These patches, you will have noticed have very different levels of difficulty. We
hope that they will have allowed you to see some of the possibilities that the
Modular V has to offer. But don’t hesitate in testing the programming yourself,
this is how we learn and progress and develop more originality.

The Bode Frequency Shifter
The Bode Frequency Shifter was certainly one of the most coveted modules
while at the same time one of the least known in the Bob Moog’s modular
galaxy. There were around 10 sold across the world.
The bode Shifter module
It allows the creation of a huge number of unique sounds, which we will see, in
the two following examples:
6.3.4.1
More stereo width
Obtain more stereo width by slightly dephasing the pitch of the sound. Take as
an example the preset “Bode_Bass” (in the “Factory” bank).
For this very simple preset, we will use an oscillator where the “sawtooth” signal
will be directed straight to the Bode Frequency Shifter audio in.
The A and B outputs on the Bode Frequency Shifter are directed towards the
inputs for VCA1 and 2. The panoramic knobs are turned to the left for VCA1
and to the right for VCA2 to obtain a stereo sound.
The main tuning frequency on the Bode Shifter is placed at 0.000 Hz (“amount
of shift” knob centered). The “Scale” setting is placed to position “5” (the
variations in height are very weak). Also, leave the “Mixture” setting at the
center (it won’t be used in this example)
