Added by CorgiThe habit appears to be instinctive for members of the Heterodyne family, and in fact was the most obvious sign ✣ of Agatha Heterodyne's imminent breakthrough. However, it can also be reproduced mechanically ✣ , and might be imitable from memory. ✣
One interesting machine-based instance of heterodyning that appears to have gone unnoticed is during the downloading of Lucrezia/Other into Agatha. The summoning machine produces a small amount of heterodyning music as part of the process ✣ . This opens up a big question regarding the connection between Other-tech and Heterodyne-tech and leads us back to the old question of what Lucrezia was doing when everything went all pear shaped.
