ring modulator in a sentence
Examples
- In a " Guitar World " article, lead guitarist Billy Gibbons said that he used a Marshall Major amplifier and a Maestro ring modulator on this song, and that the amplifier had a blown tube during recording which added to the tonal character of the song.
- Jon Lord played his solo through a ring modulator or played some of it on an California Jam festival in 1974, where he dropped one guitar over the edge of the stage, smashed a second against a TV camera, then set his amplifier on fire, which then subsequently exploded.
- Before digital music synthesizers became common, at least some analog synthesizers ( such as the ARP 2600 ) used analog multipliers for this purpose; they were closely related to those used in electronic analog computers . ( The " ring modulator " in the ARP 2600 could multiply control voltages; it could work at DC .)
- The VCS3 consisted of 3 voltage-controlled oscillators ( VCOs ), a noise generator, two input amplifiers, ring modulator, voltage-controlled low-pass filter, trapezoid envelope generator, voltage-controlled reverberation, level meter, two output amplifiers thus providing a stereo output, and a joystick providing'X'and'Y'modulation control.
- The VCS3 has three oscillators ( the first two oscillators are normal oscillators and the third an LFO or Low Frequency Oscillator ), a noise generator, two input amplifiers, a ring modulator, 24dB / octave voltage controlled low pass filter ( VCF ), a trapezoid envelope generator, joy-stick controller, voltage controlled spring reverb unit and 2 stereo output amplifiers.
- According to Unterberger, " the very fact that the equipment was so primitive . . . lent a spontaneous resonance and warmth that has rarely been achieved by subsequent synthesizer technology . " Producer David Rubinson commented : The ring modulator and the volt-control oscillators and voltage control filters & ndash; they didn't come in a set, like they did in a Moog.
- "' Super BassStation "'( 1997 ) added an arpeggiator, noise source, ring modulator, an additional LFO bringing the complement to two, a sub-oscillator ( an octave below Oscillator 1 ), analogue chorus and distortion effects, keyboard filter tracking, stereo outputs and panning, enhanced memory, analogue trigger signal output and more to the original design.
- The song contains heavy guitar and drum riffs and a solo broken up with a phasing, fluttering effect by Tom Morello, achieved by using a combination of tremolo picking the high E-string, using his trademark Dunlop Crybaby wah pedal and a ring modulator effect . ( B ) Singer Chris Cornell also uses an interesting technique near the end of the song, when he changes pitch multiple times to produce an unusual effect.
- The D-50 produces a hybrid " analog / digital " sound : one can use traditional fat analog waveforms like saw and square ( digitally created on the fly unlike competing synths of the time that used PCM samples of waveforms, ala Korg DW-8000 ) together with PCM samples of actual acoustic instrument attack transients and famous analog synths of the past, filtered through full analog-style processing ( LFOs, TVFs, TVAs, ring modulator, effects, etc . ).
- The Mono / Poly can be used as a rhythm machine, by setting the instrument in'Poly'and setting the different footages of the oscillators and the different waveshapes ( triangle actually works best ), and then using the ring modulator / frequency modulators with the Arpeggiator; adjust the envelopes accordingly to percussive settings and fiddle with the cut-off and noise from time to time to add tone color, and finally, set the LFO to pitch and set it at a considerable amplitude.
