What is a
Ring Modulator?
A ring modulator mixes your audio input signal with a carrier
oscillator to produce sum and difference frequencies. Imagine that the
ring modulator's carrier oscillator is producing a 500 Hz sine wave,
and your input signal is a 100 Hz sine wave. The ring modulator's
output will be a complex waveform. You will hear two pitches: 400 Hz
and 600 Hz. You will not hear your original input or the carrier
oscillator.
The moogerfooger ring modulator is a direct descendant of the
original Moog modular synthesizers. It contains three complete modular
functions: a ring modulator, a voltage-controlled carrier oscillator,
and voltage-controlled dual-waveform LFO.
A ring modulator produces sum and difference frequencies between
the audio input and a “carrier” oscillator. The ring modulator’s
LFO can be used to modulate the carrier frequency. The moogerfooger
ring modulator can create effects ranging from subtle tremolo to
harmonically rich distortion, sweeps, swoops, and divebombs.
The moogerfooger ring modulator’s control parameters are signal
mix, carrier frequency, LFO rate, and LFO amount. All of the ring
modulator’s parameters can be controlled with expression pedals or
external control voltages as well as by rotary panel controls. Panel
switches select LFO waveform and carrier frequency range. 1/4"
jacks are provided for audio input and output, pedal/control inputs,
carrier input and carrier output.
Power supply is included: order 110v for use in US or Canada or
220v for use in Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia.
