065: Stereo Ring Modulator
This effect creates a metallic sound by applying the
oscillators to the input signal. Use the LFO or Dynamic
Modulation to modulate the oscillator to create a
radical modulation. Matching the oscillator frequency
with a note number will produce a ring modulation
effect in specific key ranges.
RING MODULATOR
Pre LPF [0…100]
If the input is very bright, the ring modulator may
sound harsh or noisy. If this occurs, you can smooth
out the effect by increasing the Pre LPF (Low Pass
Filter) setting, to cut out some of the input’s high
frequencies. The higher the setting, the more the high
frequencies will be cut.
OSC Mode [Fixed, Note (Key Follow)]
This determines whether the oscillator frequency
follows the note number, or stays at a fixed value.
Note (Key Follow): The oscillator’s frequency is based
on MIDI note number (on the effect’s MIDI channel),
allowing you to use it as an octaver. The Note Interval
parameter, below, sets the pitch offset from the original
note, in semitones. Matching the oscillator frequency
with the note number produces a more gentle ring
modulation effect, in the correct key.
Fixed: the oscillator uses the manually-set Fixed
Frequency, below.
Fixed Frequency [Hz] [0…12.00k]
This controls the oscillator frequency when OSC Mode
is set to Fixed.
Source [Off…Tempo]
Selects the modulation source for the oscillator
frequency when OSC Mode is set to Fixed.
Amount [–12.00k…+12.00k]
Sets the oscillator frequency modulation amount when
OSC Mode is set to Fixed.
Note Offset [–48…+48]
This sets a pitch offset from the received MIDI note
number, in semitones. It applies only when OSC Mode
is set to Note (Key Follow).
Try using offsets of octaves (+/–12, 24, etc.) or fifths
(+7, +19, –5, etc.).
Note Fine [+/–100]
This adjusts the frequency in cents (1/100 of a
semitone). It applies only when OSC Mode is set to
Note (Key Follow).
LFO Depth [0…100]
Sets the depth of LFO modulation for the oscillator
frequency.
Source [Off…Tempo]
Selects the modulation source of the depth of
modulation.
Amount [+/–100]
Sets the modulation amount of the depth of
modulation.
LFO
Frequency [Hz] [0.02…20.00]
This sets the LFO speed, in Hz. It applies only when
MIDI/Tempo Sync, below, is Off.
Source [Off…Tempo]
This selects a modulation source for the Frequency.
Amount [–20.00…+20.00]
This sets the Frequency modulation amount, in Hz.
MIDI/Tempo Sync [Check-box]
BPM [MIDI, 40.00…240.00]
Base Note […]
Times [x1…x32]
When MIDI/Tempo Sync is on, the LFO speed is set by
BPM, Base Note, and Times, instead of Frequency. For
more information, see “MIDI/Tempo Sync” on
page 777.
Type [Individual, Common1, Common2]
This controls whether the effect uses its individual
LFO, or one of the Common FX LFOs. For more
information, see “LFO Type” on page 777.
Common LFO Phase Offset [degrees] [+/–180]
When Type is set to Common FX LFO 1 or 2, this lets
you offset the phase from the master LFO.
OUTPUT
This is the standard effects output section, with
modulatable control over wet/dry balance. For more
