Musical Ring Modulator
Hi Gang,
A few days ago I posted my Dead Simple Ring Modulator Demonstrator.
Okay, you get sum and difference frequencies with totally suppressed fundamentals, now what ?
In the old days we built ring modulators with diodes and C.T. transformers, and they sounded like fuzztones on steroids.
I never liked fuzztones, and I was disappointed in the results, due to the .7 volt turn-on threshold of silicon diodes creating that unwanted fuzz effect.
But now we don't have that problem, and a whole new world of possibilities presents itself.
Here's my demonstator that allows you to switch between a classic ring modulator (direct setting) and the add-multiply setting.
What's that, you ask ?
Let's say that before you ring modulate that two frequencies, you add them together, consider that the 'B' oscillator and now ring modulate 'A' and 'B' signals.
Okay, now switch to 'multiply' and you have a new 'B' signal to ring modulate with the 'A' signal.
And of course, the whole shebang is Dead Simple !
Enjoy these new crystal clear "musical" tones and build 'em into your next synth !
