FM sythesis and Ring Mod basic questions

[dmorr]

Hey Everyone,

Can you guys confirm that this is true for me?

Ring modulation = the amplitude of the modulator modulating the amplitude of the carrier.

Frequency Modulation = the amplitude of the modulator modulating the frequency of the carrier.


Also can someone explain the phenomenon behind Ring Modulation and Frequency modulation. Why is it that when we modulate something with audible frequency speeds that the tones of the sound become metallic sounding or distorted?

Thank you so much.

Yup, what you said is true.

I haven't built hardware, so I don't know the "why", but I saw a tv show taping today where they film other non-box related shows.
