Okay, reality shift.
I thought a two-quadrant multiplier was a VCA, and a four-quadrant
multiplier was a balanced (hence the name) or "ring" (because of the
original diode ring designs for radio modulators) modulator.
Suddenly everyone's talking about the interesting, richer sounds of
2-quadrant ring modulation.
Isn't a VCA a VCA and not a ring modulator because of the lack of the
zero-crossing/multiplication/"other two artesian quadrants" in its
modulation?
Have I been laboring under a massive delusion all these decades? Or is
everyone joking and I'm just not getting it...?
Inquiring minds need to know!! ;)

Does the two quadrant multiplication result in a different sounding output

john,
i would have thought that 2q mult would have a "richer" spectrum as the
original freq`s aren`t suppressed like they are in 4q ...
