[. . . ] INTRODUCTION 15 MODULIZER PRO DSP1224P Ring Modulator This effect enables you to distort audio signals in their character. Similar to ultra-short-wave radio, the signal is multiplied with a carrier frequency, so that a frequency modulation (FM) is produced. This effect is excellently suited for vocals (robot voice). If set to S0. . . 7 the DSP1224 acts like a sound generator because now it uses a 1k sine generator (instead of the input signal) as its modulation source. You can adjust the basic carrier frequency, LFO speed and modulation depth. The bandlimit parameter limits the frequency range of the effect signal, while random and sine generator use an additional 8step slewing rate. Additionally, you can edit the basic carrier frequency, modulation depth and LFO speed. The parameters: VARIATION: FM Modulation Mode: L: carrier frequency is modulated by LFO. E: carrier frequency is modulated by the signal. R0. . . 7: carrier frequency is modulated by a random generator. S0. . . 7: 1k sine generator / carrier frequency is modulated by random generator. EDIT A: Frequency: adjusts the carrier frequency. EDIT B: Speed: controls the LFO speed (L), the envelope follower speed (A) or the slew rate of the random generator (R and S)*). EDIT C: Modulation depth: adjusts. . . yes, the modulation depth. EDIT D: Bandlimit: this is a subsequent low-pass filter that is used to cut off harsh high-frequency portions. If set to 0 the filter is bypassed, and as you are increasing the value, the amount of highfrequency portions in the output signal is being reduced. If used improperly, the ring modulator effect can damage your hearing or speakers, as it produces very high-frequency signal portions (particularly if the sine generator is used which works independently of the input signal)! + Vintager Digital technology has been trying for years to produce ever more high-quality, low-noise and brilliant sounds, but most recently more and more people have been going back to the roots looking for the warmth of old analog sounds. The techno/dance community swears by vinyl anyway, and many a music lover misses the flair of good old vinyl records and tape machines. We have taken this trends into account by creating the Vintager effect. Your recordings will sound like 8-bit material and produce all those clicks and noises you know from old records!A TR-808/TR-909-like drum loop sounds really hot only when its fat and dirty!The parameters: VARIATION: Clicks Level: adjusts the level of clicks found on old vinyl records.
