Hi,
I’ve got a question concerning synthesizers in general:
What is ringmodulation good for?
I’ve tried several (soft-)synths and 2 ringmodulated oscs do always produce a really awful sound. IMHO you can’t make music with this.

That’s my favourite effect you’re talking about there 
Snares are the prime example…
Using it on speech (second line some synth/saw/sine whatever) plus some delay is also a little nice effector. 
(PS: I like delays so I put them ANYWHERE ;D ;D)
So it’s just useful for “FX” and stuff like that.
arrrghhhh!!! how dare you take the name of the Ring Modulator in vain!!
You are lucky I don’t issue a fatwar or smite you or something…
So it’s just useful for “FX” and stuff like that.
if you don’t get what a ring modulator is good for then put it on EVERYTHING till you work out what it’s the “killer tool at the right time” for…
because let’s face it - the only way you are gonna work out what a Ring Modulator is good for, for you is to experiment!
I’ve used the CS80-V a lot, but everytime I switched on
the Rmod I hear this ..er…kind of “sweeping” sound.
perhaps the Rmod of my SID will sound better
Ringmod does this:
On Input A you have 200 Hz
On Input B you have 800 Hz
Ring mod builds the sum and the difference between A and B.
So at the output you will get 600 and 1000 Hz.
YOu’ll get metalic and “unharmonic” sounds.
You are lucky I don’t issue a fatwar or smite you or something…
Issue a Fatar instead, and smite him with that ;D
One famous use of the ring modulator - “EX-TER-MI-NAATE!”
