Polyphony Selection
Rings
operation is governed by two settings controlled
by buttons located near the center of the module: the
POLY button and the MODE button. Pressing either
button cycles between three states. The current state of
each setting is indicated by the color of its associated
LED: green, amber, or red.
The
POLY button selects the polyphony of the module:
LED Color

Green

Amber

Red
4
Enabling four note polyphony doesn’t mean that four
CV input jacks will magically appear on the module, but
simply that four notes played in sequence will nicely
overlap without cutting off each other’s tails.
To play chords, you will need to
strum
the module
by playing a rapid sequence of notes—something
you might have already encountered with the
Braids
module’s
PLUK model.
Note that
Rings
might reduce the number of harmonics
in the generated signals to cope with higher polyphony
settings.
