The Level Multiplier module performs
the same functions as a traditional VCA,
a voltage controlled amplifier, in a ana-
log system would do. It multiplies two
incoming signals (input 1 x input 2 = output). It can also function as a ring modulator (see example be-
low). See also the LevMod module later in this chapter

Patch two separate signals to each of the inputs. A signal with a level of 0 units at any of the inputs will
close the gain control function, a signal with a level of +64 units at any of the inputs will open the gain
control function completely. A signal with a level of -64 units at any of the inputs will invert the polarity
of the output signal. See also
"Common Level module parameters”

You can easily create a ring modulator by using two
oscillators and the GainCont module described
above. Connect the modules according to the figure.
OscA is the modulator and OscB the carrier in this
example. See also the RingMod module below.

The Level Modulator can be used to
control an audio signal amplitude from
an LFO or Envelope, for example. It can
also generate new overtones in a sound if
you run two separate audio signals to the
respective inputs. The module has a function which lets you transform the signal gradually from unmodi-
fied, via amplitude- to balanced modulation.

You can modulate the AM/Bal depth with a modulation source connect to this input. The amount of
modulation can be attenuated with the knob

Set the modulation amount with this rotary knob. In the 12 o’clock position you get maximum ampli-
tude modulation, and past this position, ring modulation occurs.
