What is a Ring Modulator?
A Ring Modulator mathematically multiplies two Tones,
creating a new sound that includes inharmonic
overtones that were not present in either of the two
original Tones.
Since the difference in pitch between the two Tones
changes the overtone structure, an un-pitched "metallic"
sound often results. Ring modulation is therefore
especially suitable for creating bells and other metallic
sounds.

You can use a tremendous amount of detail when you edit

[TVF]
Modifying the Brightness of a Sound with a Filter (p. 93)
[TVA]

The following shows the basic setting procedure. For
descriptions of each parameter, refer to the reference page

2. Press the function select button that accesses the
parameter you wish to adjust, causing the button's
indicator to light.
3. Press [

Its indicator will blink, and the selected Tone's number will
appear in the upper left of the display.
* When adjusting settings for parameters that apply to all Tones
– parameters other than EFFECTS OUTPUT, CONTROL
CTRL Rx MIDI, and MATRIX CONTROL – individual
Tones need not, and cannot, be selected.
5. Press [

parameter that you wish to adjust.
6. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC] / [DEC] to select the

* If you make a mistake when selecting a value, or if you do not
like the change you have made, press [UNDO] to restore the
parameter to its original value.
