yes you are right, sometimes a definition, causes a shift in my thinking......Ploki wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 5:08 pmPhaser is not a chorus is not a delay and is not a reverb.WasteLand wrote: ↑Wed Feb 05, 2020 4:52 pm how theydefine "frequency shifting" in the video, seems a bit strange to me.
"Frequency shifting is the process of shifting all component freqeuncies in sound by an equal amount."
perhaps it is a right definition, but i thought frequency shifting, does change the harmonics, unlike a pitch shifter. o well perhaps that is why above definition, is correct.
as always, when you go in depth (a phaser is a chorus is a delay is a reverb, not quite true, but sometimes... their basics of course), the differences seem small, but the results...
i am no expert, just learning more about spectrum (harmonics, formants, etc. etc. etc. etc.) just wondering.
it is a plugin that catches my attention, but i have UA fault (and byome/triad) and some meldaproduction plugins (and some play around within this "domain" of spectal shifting..).
and it seems to me, yes you can modulate, mmmh, i have to demo, to judge it, and the judgment is always subjective. so no criticism. just wondering. and wandering...
Phaser employs an allpass filter, chorus employs a delay line. Very different at its core.
Reverbs are... sometimes a combination of both, (delay lines and allpass filters), and sometimes they're neither.![]()
Frequency shifting shifts all components by EQUAL AMOUNT linearly, meaning the relationships between frequencies are the same (and become inharmonic. i.e. 25, 50 100 may become 125, 150, 200.
With a pitch shifted, same components become 125, 250, 500.

yes the equal amount is the give away, for inharmonic.
and when i posted my reaction, i already thought; a phaser does not belong in the row.
but chorus:delay:reverb, and yes...
it is a difficult topic, for me and others.., or difficult, i can understand it. i am no expert, nor i want to be, i only want to grasp at a level, that is inspiring, i don't want to go in DSP programming.. i want to make sounds..
so, you can learn on KVR! if you ask the right questions, with wrong assumptions, or a bit wrong..
(and it happens more, lately...)
thanks!
