
Ring Modulation can be very interesting with a slow pitch modulation that is applied to one
oscillator, i.e. a decaying
Envelope . This creates spacey effect sounds.

For an E-Piano sound, you should use Ring Modulation where one high pitched oscillator’s
Keytrack is lowered to i.e. 50% .

If you turn the pitch of one oscillator down very far, you can get a very similar effect to
Amplitude modulation. Use this for sounds with a periodic element if you like.
RingMod Balance F1 64…mid…F2 63
Determines the ratio of the ring modulator’s signal that is sent to the inputs of Filter 1 and Filter 2 (see
routing picture). If set to
F1 64 , the signal is sent to Filter 1 only. Higher values will increase the
amount of signal that feeds Filter 2 and decrease the amount of signal that feeds Filter 1. If set to mid ,
both filters will receive the same signal level. If set to F2 63 , the signal is sent to Filter 2 only.
Noise / Ext.
0…127
Volume of the noise generator respectively the external sound source connected to the stereo
External In jack. This control behaves differently depending on the setting of N/E Select F1/F2
feed in the Mixer Edit menu. Noise is a fundamental source for any kind of analog-type percussion.
Also, wind and other sound effects can be created by using the noise generator. Please note that if
you use an external sound source, you still have to trigger the Q’s envelopes to get the signal passed
through. So you have to generate MIDI notes by the keyboard, a connected sequencer or the internal
step sequencer or arpeggiator to hear the audio signal.
Noise / Ext. Balance F1 64…mid…F2 64
Determines how loud the signals set up in
N/E Select F1/F2 feed
are sent to the inputs of Filter 1
and Filter 2. Noise / Ext. Balance behaves differently than the other Balance controls. It doesn’t move
the signal between Filter 1 and Filter 2 but controls the loudness ratio between the two signals set up
in
N/E Select F1/F2 feed
. The signal set up in F1 feed is always sent to Filter 1 while the signal set
up in F2 feed is always sent to Filter 2.
