[sdiy] Ring Mod (was Re: Hadamard Transform Network)

[Mattias Rickardsson]

If a ring modulator modulates in a forest and no one is around to hear
it, does it still make a sound different to a 4-quadrant multiplier?

As a side band, ehh, note:
For the mixer concept (as in multiplier in radio tech), in Swedish
term used is "blandare", which literally means "mixer" - but the word
"blandare" hasn't been used for mixing consoles (at least not in
modern times) - those are just called "mixer". This makes the concept
of calling it mixer feel even more strange.
