MRingModulator with frequency below 20Hz?

[masitito]

That code box does not wrap around here - reported on "Site Stuff"

Ah, you meant my preset is broken

Too bad I cannot test 10Hz with MXXX as I found no Melda OSC that produces any audio output below 20Hz. I tried to use MFreqShifter to reduce the 20Hz but failed to route its output to the sidechain of MRingMod.

Have done it now. But when I use a frequency shifter to get a frequency below 20Hz (eg 30Hz - 20Hz) I get 2 frequencies instead of one (eg expected 10Hz).

PS: BTW, whenever I enter 20Hz in the OSC frequency input field the field resets to "off". I have to enter something like 20.000001 to make it work.

[MeldaProduction]

Frequency shifter needs to take some limitations in order to filter out the second sideband, that's represented by some minimum. 20Hz isn't exactly important after all.

Interesting.

Anyway, that was only a workaround the get a modulator below 20Hz in MRingMod.

[MeldaProduction]

Hmm, not sure what should I take from that . So is everything ok?

Back to the beginning

I wanted, just for fun, use MRingMod with a modulator of 10Hz. But MRingMod cannot do that. Then we had a digression whether a tremolo and a ring modulaton is the same.

In the process of making a patch for MXXX I tried to use MFreqShift as a workaround for a modulator of 10Hz. This failed and you have just explained why it doesn't work.

What I still do not know if in Melda world there are also limitations that prevent the OSC in MRingMod to create signals with frequencies below 20Hz.

There is a way to do that with MXXX. Load Vojtech's tremelo patch into MXXX slot A

Load this patch into Slot B:

Now compare them. They produce identical output, except I used MRingmodulator with an LFO sidechain instead of MTremelo.

A couple of things:
1. You have to set the LFO to run from 0 to 1 instead of -1 to 1 to get the ringmod to act like a tremelo.
2. You can easily dial the LFO down to 10Hz, getting what you originally asked for. Change the LFO output back to -1 to 1 to get it to behave more like you'd expect a ringmod to behave.

Load this patch into Slot B:

Ah, MXXX has a dedicated LFO module

2. You can easily dial the LFO down to 10Hz, getting what you originally asked for. Change the LFO output back to -1 to 1 to get it to behave more like you'd expect a ringmod to behave.

Yes, that's what I wanted.
