05: Ring Modulation - Korg Synthesizer User Manual

05: Ring Modulation

This multiplies the modulator and carrier and outputs the signal
produced. One of four types of waveform can be selected as the
carrier. Since the result will be a metallic sound with little sense of
pitch, this is suitable for producing sound effects. The Ring
Modulation oscillator contains an internal carrier oscillator. The
output of the other oscillator etc. can be selected as the modulator.

2–1a: Input
Input
Specifies the modulator.
If you select 05:Resonance for OSC 1 and 2 in "1-2a: Multi Oscillator Synthesis Setup," and select the other
oscillator as the Input for each, you may hear no sound at all for some parameter settings.
Carrier
Specifies the carrier waveform.
Wave Edge
Specifies the amount of high frequency harmonics for the carrier waveform. As this value is decreased, the
sound will have less high-frequency harmonics, and as it approaches 0 the volume will also decrease.
Type
Selects the modulation type. The two types differ in the tone of the high range. Type 2 will produce a brighter
sound than type 1.
2–1b: Mod. Depth
Mod. Depth
Specifies the depth of modulation. At a setting of 0, the carrier waveform will be output without change.
AMS.1 (Alternate Modulation Source 1)
Selects a modulation source 1 ( page 64 of this manual) that will control "Mod. Depth."
Intensity (Modulation Depth AMS.1 Intensity)
Specifies the depth and direction of the effect of "AMS.1."
AMS.2 (Alternate Modulation Source 2)
Selects a modulation source 2 ( page 64 of this manual) that will control "Mod. Depth."
Intensity (Modulation Depth AMS.2 Intensity)
Specifies the depth and direction of the effect of "AMS.2."
