PARAMETERS
The parameters and mode of adjustment of the EQ, Pitch, Delay and Reverb
sections are identical to the original EQ->PITCH->DELAY->REVERB
configuration as found on page 48 of the QuadraVerb Users Manual, and 5
BAND EQ->PITCH->DELAY configuration as found on page 76 of the
QuadraVerb Users Manual.

RING MODULATOR

The Ring Modulator is a specialized amplitude modulator that produces an
output that contains only the sum and difference frequencies of its input
waveforms' harmonics. It is most useful for generating metallic, bell-like sounds.
The Ring Modulator in the QuadraVerb Plus creates two signals (Up and Down)
from the initial input signal. The up output signal is a version of the input signal
with its harmonic spectrum shifted up, while the down output signal is the input
signal with its harmonic spectrum shifted down. The amount of shift is identical
for the up, and down outputs, and is specified in Hertz by the Shift Amount
parameter.
The following illustration shows how the output spectrums relate to the input
spectrum.
