Ring Mod

Overview

Ring modulation is an effect that multiplies the frequency content of two input waveforms and outputs a new waveform that includes frequency content from both input sources and it’s own unique frequency content. The output waveform contains partials (inharmonic frequency content) that are responsible for the metallic sound characteristic of ring modulation. VocalSynth’s Ring Mod effect can be used as a Tremolo effect by setting the Freq control to lower values.

Controls

ENABLE

Enables/disables Ring Mod effect processing.

HOST SYNC

Enables/disables host tempo sync behavior for the Freq control.

FREQ

Adjusts the timing of frequency modulation. When Host Sync is enabled, musical note values are used to determine the timing of the effect. When Host Sync is disabled, the unit used to determine the timing of the effect is Hertz. At lower values the timing is slower, functioning as a Tremolo. At higher values the timing is fast, functioning as a Ring Mod.

LFO

Adjusts the rate of triangle-wave LFO modulation.

DEPTH

Adjusts the intensity of the triangle-wave LFO modulation.

MIX

Adjusts the balance of dry (unprocessed) and wet (processed) audio at the output of the effect. 0 = dry (unprocessed); 100 = wet (processed).
