I was intrigued in the ring mod sound that you can see in the demo of oddity 2 ( at about 1 min ). Any suggestions on how to develop this in Bazille?

In Bazille's duophonic mode, oscillators 1/3 track the low note while 2/4 track the high note. For amp/ring mod, the volume modulation on an oscillator is easy (it might be more in Bazille's idiom to use the multipliers). So, the simplest start is maybe: set to duophonic, dial in some saw waves on osc 1 and 2, plug osc2 into osc1's volume mod, and start tweaking.

I think that you can use the multiplex for that, probably the thing that xh3rv refers to. Send one osc to one of the left inputs of the multiplex, and send another osc to the mod input. This will multiply the input osc by the mod osc, and give you ring modulation, if I am correct.

Cheers

Yes you are correct, the manual is quite clear on this. At least after rereading that section a couple of times.

Modulating the volume mod input of one osc with another however "only" gives you AM, not RM. In some cases the difference can be hard to hear, but I still think it's worth to differentiate between the two so you know what's up when you have cases where the difference may matter a lot. For instance layered sounds may act differently etc.

Well, technical details related to that may not be that interesting for all, just know that using one sound into the left multiplex input and another into the mod input gives you actual RM. Which goes into the left and which goes into the mod input doesn't matter, the result is the same (multiplication).

Excellent, duophonic mode was the solution. I didn´t know that the keys were split to the different osc. Really great sounds with this technique!
