class:: FreqShift
summary:: Frequency Shifter.
related:: Classes/Hilbert, Classes/HilbertFIR
categories::  UGens>Filters>Nonlinear, UGens>Filters>Pitch


Description::

FreqShift implements single sideband amplitude modulation, also known as
frequency shifting, but not to be confused with pitch shifting. Frequency
shifting moves all the components of a signal by a fixed amount but does
not preserve the original harmonic relationships.


classmethods::

method::ar

argument::in
The input signal.

argument::freq
Amount of shift in cycles per second.

argument::phase
Phase of the frequency shift (0..2pi).

argument::mul

argument::add


Examples::

code::
// shifting a 100Hz tone by 1 Hz rising to 500Hz
{FreqShift.ar(SinOsc.ar(100),XLine.kr(1,500,5),0,[0.1,0.1])}.play(s);

// shifting a complex tone by 1 Hz rising to 500Hz
{FreqShift.ar(Klang.ar(`[[101,303,606,808]]),XLine.kr(1,500,10),0,[0.1,0.1])}.play(s);

// modulating shift and phase
{FreqShift.ar(SinOsc.ar(10),LFNoise2.ar(0.3,1500),SinOsc.ar(500).range(0,2pi),[0.1,0.1])}.play(s);

// the ubiquitous houston example
(
b = Buffer.read(s, Platform.resourceDir +/+ "sounds/a11wlk01.wav");
{FreqShift.ar(PlayBuf.ar(1,b.bufnum,BufRateScale.kr(b.bufnum),loop:1),LFNoise0.kr(0.45,1000),0,[1,1])}.play(s);
)

// shifting bandpassed noise
{FreqShift.ar(BPF.ar(WhiteNoise.ar(0.2),1000,0.001),LFNoise0.kr(5.5,1000),0,[32,32])}.play(s);
