I think my Slade would to that.it’s made to popless mixing.

Thanks,
BTW I’m working on the folow up of this video, I hope I can pull it off, but it should be out soon

Hmmmm… Frequency shifter. Is there one of those in VCV? 
haha! I think you will appreciate my technical explanation about it 
@Squinky as we are getting to it, I was wondering, the Bucha shofter has a verry differnt naming, butis it the same architecture? seems to be about “sum” and “difference”, and “signal in” and “reference”
Yeah, freq shifter is just a single sideband AM modulator, ring mod is dual sideband. What this calls “sum” and “difference” is what I call “up” and “down”. I"m guessing the ref is my big freq knob and the drop downs control (freq of internal sine vco)? Single-sideband modulation - Wikipedia
wow - that’s pretty cool.
While I’m just using the default saw horn as the sound source, with the shifter and some ValhallaSuperMassive on the result I can get some funky screams reminiscent of McLaughlin’s “Miles Out” solo. I think he had a Bode on his guitar that he tweaked with a foot pedal.
/me runs to post that to the “listening” thread.
when was that? Pretty sure chick corea had a (much less esoteric) ring mod on his piano at the Isle of Wight show (1971?).
There was a lot of that then. Jan Hammer’s Rhodes on Cobham’s Red Barron comes to mind. The Mahavishnu Orchestra piece was just a somewhat more umm… exaggerated example.
Surge has one. it would be nice to see some more options but the Surge sounds good. i’ve used it to build patches in vcv based on this distortion technique.

Yes, I was making a little joke. My Booty shifter had been in VCV since VCV 0.6. It was the only one for a very long time. Then Surge came along. As I’ve said, it’s better in some ways, although I feel the UI of the booty shifter (which is a copy of the Moog/Bode module) is more usable. they are both super good, and afaik still the only two in all of VCV.

This is super exciting!
Ms. Ciani is a musical (and personal) hero of mine. The thought of her using Rack is incredibly cheering.
Another plug: my “kitchen sink” VCO is an enhanced copy of the FM-OP. One of the enhancements is a waveform that can morph from triangle to saw under CV control. Of course a triangle is sort of “sine like”, and it gets more sine like if you run it through a waveshaper (isn’t that how Buchla did it?).
the joke went right over my head, haha! i should have remembered the Booty Shifter was another one.

I don’t know about the circuits, but here is still some room for an oscillator in vcv: one where you choose two waveform and you can go smoothly from one to another… Or a good crossfader. With a knob +CV + CV attenuverter. Most of them cancel the knob position once a CV is connected
vector mixer can do this

Yes,
I this case I needed to stay really educative oriented and " I’m going to take a highly featured animated quad mixer because it’s the only one that do cross fading as you’d expect" wasn’t the idea
I ended up using bleak, which has a wave shaper that kind of works for 258 waveshaping style
