    Vocals vocals vocals as you showed here. It truly shines here. It's worth really spending some time with it on vocals though, definitely a situation where employing a VCA or 2 to afford one's self some super fine tuning on whatever CV able parameters your ring mod has. Of course it's great for alienizing vox but with super fine adjustment and some time I was able to give an male baritone spoken voice actor a very authentic lisp. Very little else about the voice was different certainly no synthetic artifacts, just a very pronounced lisp. Another time I managed to change an American accent into rather posh English one, bizarre. There were other tonal differences but they didn't sound otherworldly an generally to the authenticity. Great Vid too.

    I have an outboard pedal ring modulator, and it only takes signals . CV is too hot, however, it does generate interesting noises and has 2 lfo outs which help in my eurorack system. Both synths and drum machines work well through it, well I dial-in the sweet spots.

      Hi, this sounds great. Using CV for audio inputs is fun, I like it because it can surprise me easily (when the inputs are not dc-coupled, of course). And I like the idea of getting a novel lfo using the ring modulator 🤘

    I have a question about guitar ring modulators that no UA-camr presenting them has managed to answer. My question is this: What is happening exactly when I tune a guitar note so I can hear it at the RM's output? This is logically impossible since the RM's output is ONLY the sum and difference of my guitars frequency and the RM's internal oscillator MEANING the two input frequencies are not present anymore. SO how come I can still somehow hear the frequency of my note? Thank you.

      I have never experienced this. The phenomenon may also depend on the exact components of your guitar's spectrum, the ring modulator you use, and the signal you modulate your guitar with. Since you are multiplying spectra during RM, the sum of more complex (non-sine) spectra can give surprising results.

      @@bylant Try to tune the modulator to the carrier that is holding the root note of a scale, and you'll get what a guitarist experiences with RM usually. Then read my question again, since you know the difference between RM and Am you may be able to answer how it's possible to tune like that. Thanks
