Advanced Movement With Ring modulator DSP

[XW-Addict]

A while ago I made a crunchy sound with Ring Modulator,

I've choose ring mod cause of the metallic nature it gives. 

I didn't noticed at first then after tweaking the value's for it

but when listening I found a way cool movement happen 

looking into the manual, there is an LFO with the DSP. 

 

What happened was this the sound slowly went up an 

octave and down again and repeated it , first I though it 

was the arpeggio and turned it off. I was baffled it was the

Ring modulator doing it.

 

I've looked into the manual which DSP where doing this also 

and thought it was the LFO doing that affecting the frequency ,

automatically thinking all DSP with LFO could do it but that

wasn't the case.

 

RIng modulator has an internal oscillator with an parameter 

value for OSC frequency and this is what makes it go up and 

down. Surprise me more having that in the PX5S I'm no DSP 

expert but to me next to DSP Delay its another gem inside the 

PX5S. 

 

Using this DSP is different then using the arpeggio or a controller.

This DSP makes a different kind of  movements couple it with the arpeggio 

or another controller for some interesting atmospheric effects. Or layered 

it with a similar sound and bounce it together on two zones. Idea's coming up. 

 

This is an advanced type I can hear this effect going up and down 

I've looked in the XW if Ring modulator does it also and it does but 

not that much if the OSC frequency set low as well the rate and depth

give a minimum on movement like a half of an octave. 

 

On the PX5S setting the  frequency low it stay's leveled and the higher 

the frequency the more it moves up and down setting the rate and depth 

to the low makes the sound slowly go up and down an full octave. 

 

( I have to add I didn't experiment much with long release sounds with Ringmod

  the crunchy sound was short release and arpeggiated; I got so many

  sound projects going I hope to post something soon with this DSP effect)

 

That is truly neat.
