The Xaoc Devices Koszalin Eurorack Module is a powerful stereo frequency shifter that allows for both quasi-exponential and linear frequency changes of up to +/-5kHz, resulting in a plethora of atonal sounds. Unlike pitch shifting, frequency shifting produces a linear translation of signal spectrum and can create complex phase cancellation patterns, resulting in striking barber-pole effects. The module offers direct control over feedback amount, routing, and response and can also facilitate frequency modulation of any stereo audio signal through its linear TZFM input. With its unique capabilities, the Xaoc Devices Koszalin is a must-have for anyone exploring the atonal soundscape in their music.
