Please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere.
Yes, that file is from me and not from Martin. (but that's just a few kilometres off)
(Doh, I was thinking about a different Martin. In any case, the file comes from me.)
thought you were joking...
in your previous mail you wrote
It remains consonant to the ear so easily simply because it only produces harmonics.
did you speak about the "doppler" distortion? true doppler distortion is harmonic for a single sine wave, but not for 2 or more sines of different frequencies. It's the same effect known as frequency modulation, in this case a signal being its own carrier. The difficulty in prediction of a spectrum is that the carrier is an always changing mix of frequencies and not a single sine wave like for a radio station transmitter or in the most simplest case of frequency modulation synthesizers, but it is pretty easy to find out it is non harmonic by listening...
I want to add that the vd~ approach is not the "perfect implementation" for the above described frequency modulatuon. the carrier is delayed against the modulating signal a bit. Like this it simulates a moving listener instead a moving sound source. Also for a single sine wave the change of the spectrum differs by variation of the delay.
A more close to reality simulation which does only fm without delay requires a variable (interpolating?) write into the delayline. Unfortunately I don't know of such externals already existing. However I don't expect the effects being very different from the vd~ method. A slow 20Hz sinewave modulating some high frequencies will not sound very different if the 20Hz is delayed or not. A 20 hz sound will have a duration which is much longer that the delay.
