These "bite size" formats makes a lot of sense. Focused deep dive on a single primary function available with most synths. Great way to divide and conquer the available complexity of sound design. Clever to include the other accessories to augment and fortify the concepts. Gratefully.
Thank you Daniel - another great synth clip video. Although I love your demos of new synths I think these in-depth videos on techniques is very interesting and great for the synth nerds amongst us.
I just stumbled across this playlist the other day and it's been a refreshing way to brush up on some things I don't use too often in my own designs. This video in particular was really helpful to me since I kind of get how to make ring mod do what I want it to do, but I never really got... why? Thanks to this video, I have a better understanding and feel like I can be more targeted in my approach with ring mod in future designs, so thank you again for putting this out there.
Great video. Remember there are big differences between strict AM, which is in fact tremolo, and balanced modulation. A balanced modulator outputs signal in all four multiplier quadrants (in both positive and negative going phases of the carrier and the modulating signal). AM will produce a zero signal output where the modulating signal is less than or equal (near) zero. At the point where the carrier is suppressed, all you have is the lower and upper harmonics, which puts the ‘ring’ in the sound.
I am very thankful to live and be young in a time where we can have vast amounts of fun education like this completely for free. Also, I was surprised to think that the electro-harmonix pedal sounded much better to my ears than the moog one. I assumed going in that it would be the other way around. Thank you for this video!
Thanks so much, Daniel! Whenever I have a nagging synthesis question I always end up finding one of your videos to answer it. I greatly appreciate what you do!
This was good, came here to watch the Moogerfooger in action with the Grandmother. However, it would be super interesting to see a video of cross patching the two since the MF has inputs and outputs. I guess I do it myself in near future with my units! And by the way, ring mod is most powerful with more simple waveforms.
Nice video as always. Got Grandmother (from Sweetwater) and a real old big briar MF102. Got some 1/4 to 1/8 cables, can I safely patch between the Grandmother and MF102 like swapping out the MF102 carrier with one of the GMs oscillators or patching the MF102 LFO into GM?
Thank you for your informative video. I play guitar and I am fascinated by the ringmodulator effect. I understand I think the concept of the two sidebands one as the sum and the other as the difference. What I don't understand is what exactly is happening when I tune the internal modulator to a certain note of my guitars' carrier signal. How is this possible?
Awesome! An idea - since you can patch the kb out into the rate in on the lfo, shouldn’t that make it so that it’s always in tune? Given that you first made sure both the lfo and osc is intune?
Don’t forget it’s also called balanced modulation. Am and RM/BM are different. I’m sure u know that tho. Or to relallly be a nerd.. from modular land .. four Quadrant multiplier LoL

And the end goal is that it turns into a sort of video encyclopedia of synth knowledge.
As we used to say back in the day (60s) Far out! Love this series! Thx Sweetwater forever.

This synth clip is unreal. I really like how Ring Modulation emits annihilating sounds. 🤖

Slivers of beauty...a beautiful concept itself!

I just got a RingThing and I can say I've got a real thing for it!
Great demonstration! Love this!
Thanks Kevin!
For those unaware of SYNTH CLIPS, here's a link to the first 30 videos:

Informative
Arojnd 2:10 rigggghhtt before u hit the side bands it almost had a Reese bass sound. Dope !
Cool why is it called reeese bass
Top!

And by the way Dan, you are the best guy in RUclips when it comes to Moog!
Love these series !!!!!!!
That "Ring Thing" effect with one side going up while the other side goes down make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
I’m guilty of cranking up the rate too fast. Gonna try out the slow build. Thanks man!!
That was great mate, thankyou.
intresting
@5:25 making me wanna go play some Atari now
thanks again and again...
Hi Frank. It makes me really happy to hear that. Thanks for watching! -_Daniel_

towards the end, i was reminded of some of emerson's monkeyshines with ELP
What a rig, nice

Hi zz zz. That does work, but you may find that, on some synths, it only stays accurate for an octave or two. -_Daniel_
@@sweetwater sweet
I would like to see a clip about the gated sequencer, like the one on the prophet rev 2, thanks :)

Ring modulated pedals
Yup. -_Daniel_
I gave the 420th thumbs up, nice 😎
Thanks a llllloootttt
Nice what keyboard is that?

@@sweetwater wow !!! nice ! i will see ! thank you for your reply !

Work that jibby yall!!
DEVO = ring modulator
Yo Dawg, we heard you like modulators...
Modulators in your modulators so you can modulate while you modulate.
I recently lost my low-frequency hearing and now everyone sounds like they are robots in one ear kind of like this or dalek.
Hi Gohanburner. I had an ear issue once, and it sounded like that to me as well. Good luck.
