Ring Modulator - Roland SBX-1000 Owner's Manual

12: RING MODULATOR

This is an effect that applies amplitude modulation (AM) to the input signal, producing bell-like sounds. You can also change
the modulation frequency in response to changes in the volume of the sound sent into the effect.

Value Explanation
RING MOD, ENV OSC RING MOD: Applies amplitude modulation to the input signal
ENV OSC: Outputs oscillation corresponding to the input signal
0–127 Adjusts the frequency at which modulation is applied.
0–127 Adjusts the amount of frequency modulation applied.
UP, DOWN Determines whether the frequency modulation moves towards higher frequen-
cies (UP) or lower frequencies (DOWN).
-15–+15 dB Amount of boost/cut for the effect sound's lower range
-15–+15 dB Amount of boost/cut for the effect sound's upper range
D100:0W–D0:100W Volume balance between the direct sound (D) and the effect sound (W)
