MOTM-110

[Ken Stone]

Ring modulators really come into their own when you feed a chord into one
input and a sequence into another. It behaves like a form of timbre
modulator with guite interesting effects.

>I have built two MOTM-110 Ring Modulator / VCA modules now, and they work
>very well.  One difference I noticed immediately was that the VCA doesn't
>start bleeding through when the initial gain goes below zero.  With my
>ASM-1's VCA (using a CA3080 chip) I can't turn the initial gain more than 2
>or 3 volts below zero or I get sound bleed-through.  This was my first
>experience with a Ring Modulator, so I had to tweak and patch for a while to
>get comfortable using it.  One "secret" is to detune one VCO and (if
>possible) change the tracking on that VCO to something like 1.2Volts/Octave.
>The most boring sound is when both VCOs are tuned to unison or harmonic
>intervals.
