i was wondering what they are. i suppose they make noise like a pulse or are a type of effect? are there any other type of modulators? |

A ring modulator multiplies the waveforms of two tones to create many new tones that were not present in either of the original waveforms. Good for creating sort of unpitched clangorous metallic type sounds such as bells etc. Many other things may be used to modulate sounds. Really, to me , modulate means modify. If you take a tone and run a sine wave thru it, it goes up and down like a air raid siren. Thats a simple modulator. Hope that helps. BTW a ring modulator is one of the coolest sonic playthings one could have to mess with. The old English synth "The Putney or VCS3 had one of the best to be found. Eno's old machine in the early Roxy Music days. |

Can't help with the plug in's as I don't use Virtual synths. I know most of the virtual modular synths have one as a module, but stand alone plug in, who knows? Many of the "real" modular synth manufacturers offer modules for around $350 american. This way you can run guitars, vocals, drums, pretty much anything. I thought of a good example of a ring mod sound. At the end of the Cartoon series South Park at the end of every episode the guitarist for Primus goes from a chica chica rythm sound to a wierd atonal series of notes. Thats a guitar application of ring mod. Electro Harmonix(american fuzz box manufacturer) used to make a really sweet and simple one but might be hard to find today. Check your pawn shops... |
