Building a Bode Frequency Shifter in Kyma

According to this website (which references all of Moogs patents), the Bode frequency shifter is a ring modulator with the lower sideband suppressed. Another name for this effect is a single side band ring modulator.

There is an already-built example of this in the Modulation category of the Prototypes called SingleSideBandRM. Double-click on the icon in the Prototypes window, select the second icon from the right and choose Describe Sound from the Info menu to get a description of the Sound and how to use it.

Has this the one been updated to use the All frequencies unity gain 90 deg phase shifter, or is it only a true single sideband ring modulator at one center frequency as it was in the old Prototypes ?
