I never looked close enough at a Memorymoog to know if it has AM and/or
Ring Mod or not (there are other reasons why I don't like it that much ...),
but FM surely cannot be a substitute for ring modulation.
I'm aware that most people think of weird noise when they hear ring mod, and
I'm sure the Memorymoogs modulation capabilities are more effective
for that than a simple ring modulator. But I would never want to go without
the subtle sub-audio AM I can easily throw in on the CS-50 and the OB-8.
