Quick question, are there any ringmod plugins with dual audio inputs? Where one audio input is used to modulate the other audio input. I'm just finding ringmod plugins that use a built in oscillator which is not really what I want.

Hmmmm, anyone?

There should be one, I mean it's a very obvious thing really. Much like connecting two audio sources to a vocoder plugin.

Audiomulch can do this natively. Can't think of any plugs though.

If you dont mind going offline briefly, Cool Edit/Audition does this under the Mix Paste function. Open two WAV files, copy one into the Clipboard, bring up the other one you want processed, then select Edit>MixPaste>Modulate. It's not realtime ring-modding and it will take a little noodling to get it dead on, but it works fine.

Hmmm.. it's really strange that there are no Ringmod plugins that does this. Guess I'll just have to make one then

Its not a plug in, but the Sony MP5 can do it, and you can pick them up very cheaply these days.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm totally into softsynths, but this is one of those cases where I could just walk over to my Doepfer, and plug two audio sources into a ring mod... done!

Or run two audio signals through the Nord modular g2...

I suppose you could make your own with Synthedit or Synthmaker quite easily...

Yup, I sure could. I'm just surprised no one's done it already.

The reason no one has done it that way might be that the result is poor with anything other than an oscillator.

Code: Select all

for (int i = 0; i < sampleFrames; i++)
{
    outputLeft[i] = inputLeft[i] * inputRight[i];
    //outputLeft[i] = inputLeft[i] * fabs(inputRight[i]);    
    outputRight[i] = outputLeft[i];
}

gives you the left channel modulated by the right channel. Output is equal on both channels then.

But that sounds probably quite ugly (even ringmodulated ) ...

I think NDC's Modulator 2 can do what you want.

Nope Modulator 2 does Ring/AM/FM, but only against a wave file, the input signal itself, or it's built in Osc.

hey check dis out

native intruments fm7 the dx7 clone has a preset dat is like a ring mod vocoder

u can press a key on the keboard for the note and yeah its sounds like a ring mod but u can trigger d note with midi which is kule- so i geuss its a vocoder type effect
but it sounds like a ring mod alright not just a vocder

ive used it with mic input -maybe u could use it in minihost or cubase or sumthin with wav files as modulator

-god ni get a lot of free advertising off me on dis site - i geuss were even now

Would be a good "tutorial" project inside the developer forum.

If you set both Modulator and Carrier to Audio Input, it sure sounds like it allows this. Even lets you alternate between Left and Right input as the carrier.

What the settings would look like:

Ringmod with dual audio input?
