Hey Jimmy:
Yeah the ring mod comse into own with non-consonant frequencies. I
use it just to support the basic saw waveforms, but more
interestingly:
It works great with sine-ish waves where it's in-hamonic overtones
can play to good effect. You can bring it in and out of the mix or
sweep the pitch of one of the oscillators for snarl.
I do this on my standard whistle patch.
Osc 1: pitch =+12, Edge = 0
Mixer Osc 1 = 126 Osc 2 = 0, Ring Mod = 0, Noise = 0
I might have LFO modulation of pitch for vibrato. Then I add:
Osc 1= pitch = -37, Edge = 0
Then I map Ring mod volume to Ribbon Z. This way I get a snarl/growl
when I hit the ribbon. Another way to use it as a performance tool.
is to keep the ring modulator always on and play with the ptich. I
set oscillater to -64 pitch. This creates a vibrato. Now sweep the
pitch of Osc 2 upwards with the knob and than back down to its
standard position of -64.
Hope this helps,
Jerry
