Re: using Mixolator as ring modulator...how?

2004-03-13 by grantrichter2001

A ring modulator, which is actually a multiplier, has two inputs, a 
"carrier" and a "modulator". The technique goes like this:

Monitor the X+ output

1. Set X1 control fully on
2. Switch VCA/Ring switch to "Ring"
3. Patch an audio sine oscillator (carrier) to the X1 input
4. Adjust the Z control for the best null of the carrier signal 
(somewhere around the 1 o'clock position)
5. Patch another sine wave signal to the ZMOD input.

At this point you should be hearing two sine tones which are the 
sum and difference frequencies between the two sine wave 
oscillators. Sweep the oscillator frequencies as an experiment.

Any audio signal can be used instead of sine waves, but they are 
best for demonstrating the sound.
