Doc Q7.0
Ring Modulator [RNG]
5.28
Commonly used on synth and fusion electric piano sounds
(or to create Dalek/X-wing pilot voices), the
Ring
Modulator
uses fast changes in amplitude to create
subtones (or supertones?) harmonically unrelated to the
input. The Axe-Fx II Ring Modulator goes beyond the
classic effect in that the modulation frequency can track
the pitch of the input signal for musically predictable
results across the fingerboard.
Each Axe-Fx II preset can use two fully independent
Ring Modulator
blocks.
Parameters
FREQ
– Sets the frequency of the oscillator.
FMULT
– Sets the frequency multiplier for the oscillator. The actual oscillator frequency is the
FREQ
value
multiplied by the
FMULT
value.
TRACK
– When this is set to “ON,” the frequency of the oscillator tracks the input pitch. The actual frequency
is then the pitch multiplied by the
FMULT
value.
HICUT
– Sets the cutoff frequency of a low-pass filter on the output.
