The Ring Mod's internal carrier is designed to be at the same intensity as the audio signal. I'm not so sure about this; I think the carrier is just line-level all the time. I know the ring mod sounds weak when using an external instrument-level carrier with the mix at ten, which is mildly disappoi...

BUT, when you lower the LFO offset about 40% (interesting percentage..) it has a similar effect as using the *internal carrier with mix at 6*, adding in an extra hump or whatever, giving it a more rhythmic fee similar to the Internal carrier behavior noted- there is more inherent noise and use of a...

I've never owned the MuRF, but I think it could be wonderful for non-dance music. For ambient music, I think it would work wonderfully for pad-like sounds. You could have things evolve very slowly. With the introduction of MIDI, I think you should be able to use the MuRF for quite jarring effects be...

Thanks! That was a great response.

Perhaps clarity for you but I will have to think about this some more. Not to complicate matters, but also realize the difference formula for ring modulation is simple with sine waves which but when the carrier becomes complex, things get more interesting. Saw waves especially are harmonically rich...

I think that the differing shape of the tremolo may be caused by wave interference of the input, and output waveforms, which results in beating, which, if slow enough will sound like tremolo. I don't exactly understand how the ringmod works, as i am not an electrical engineer, but I don know that t...

Brian, The 102's frequency POT is set on the first line about 1k (about 12 or 1:00). I had it set there for a patch that I haven't yet documented, so I didn't tweak it at all. With the Ringmod Frequency Switch on the LO position, it was half tone/half tremelo. Switching the switch DOES effect it. I...

Thanks for checking it out. I introduced a squarewave courtesy of the VX351 into the carrier in. Now, what I noticed from the mix knob is that the volume of my overall tone decreased until I reached 5, where the carrier signal, modulated by the square wave woudl be heard. With the Ringmod frequency ...

I'm not exactly sure of what you asking here. Using the LFO out as the carrier will produce temolo effects in much the same way as if you set the frequency of the carrier to LFO levels which at sub audio levels will produce a tremolo effect. A square wave will produce a "trill" like sound...

Just patched it up and the Mix knob still regulates the amount of modulation but the LFO Amount knob doesn't do anything (of course). Does it act the same as when you us the internal carrier? With my old ring mod I found that the shape of the tremolo effect changed based on where the mix knob was s...

I'm curious what happens when you patch the LFO Out to the Carrier In. In particular, using a square wave, what is the effect of the mix knob? Does it still change the amplitude envelope?

True, but it can't do the effect he is looking for, namely slowly increasing the intensity of the effect. It seems like the mix knob would do that, but on mine it changed the shape of the amplitude envelope.

I think you want to invert/attenuate the waveform and use the offset in the mixer section of the CP-251. The square wave normally goes between 0 and +5 Volts. Inverting it will make it go from 0 to -5 Volts. Using the offset to increase the voltage can make it go from 5 to 0 Volts. Then you can cont...

Pretty please?

No VX-351? What a ripoff!

Free VX-351 included during the NAMM promotion.

Ironically, I mailed that to the new owner yesterday.
