07-hilbert-transform.py - Barberpole-like phasing effect.

This example uses two frequency shifters (based on complex modulation) linearly shifting the frequency content of a sound.

Frequency shifting is similar to ring modulation, except the upper and lower sidebands are separated into individual outputs.
