Doppler_effect & Kakahito

Hey, have you ever thought about how the Doppler effect could totally remix a dance floor? Imagine the beat speeding up as the music zooms toward you and slows down when it pulls away—perfect for a spontaneous routine that feels alive. What do you think?

That’s actually a pretty neat idea, but the trick is getting the timing right. The frequency shift you’re talking about is really tiny unless the source is moving fast enough—like a plane or a train. You could simulate it with a synth that ramps the pitch as the track “approaches” and “recedes,” but you’d have to sync that ramp to the dance beat. It’s doable if you’re willing to spend time tweaking the envelope and maybe automating the delay too. If you can pull it off, it would give the crowd a fresh, almost living groove. Give it a shot, but don’t expect it to happen automatically.
