4.2 Ring Mod/Filter Section

With the controls of the Ringmod/Filter section you can strongly influence the effect of the feedback signal on the
sound.
One can very drastically change the character of the sound by turning the F
trol only slightly. The result can be self-oscillating sounds with a pitch that is only dependent
on the cutoff frequency of the filter, or sounds resembling acoustic feedbacks of microphones,
speakers, or guitar amps. The F
to the Oscillator section output before it gets routed to the Ring Mod/Filter section.
The aM K enables you to add additional harmonics to the signal from the Oscillators sec-
nob
tion entering the Ring Modulator. This parameter usually has a subtle effect. With the aM
K you control the amount of amplitude modulation applied to the mixed outputs of the
nob
Oscillators section and the feedback signal. The mixed output is amplitude modulated by the
feedback signal.

components to the signal. This parameter determines the amount of ring modulation the am-
plitude modulated signal receives. The modulating signal comes directly from the Oscillators
section.
The source signal for the ring modulator is controlled by the RM p
knob to the left yields a harsher sound, turning it to the right a softer sound. The RM p
K determines how much of the modulating signal comes from the Pulse Oscillator and
nob
how much from the Sine Oscillator. The modulating signal from the Oscillators section is not
affected by the Oscillator Envelope.
