Hello everyone!
I'm in the middle of writing a manual in English for Tyrell N6 and I'm wondering what is the deal with the ring modulator. It's not the same as the other ring modulator I've worked with. It doesn't seem to make any audible as well as visual (on an oscilloscope) difference in the resulting sound when you swap modulator and source waves. It's not the same if you're ring modulating a sawtooth wave with a sine and vice versa. Does anyone have any idea how it works and why there's no difference?
Thanks.

uh wat?
A ring modulator literally multiplies two signals together, it shouldn't matter which is the source and which is the modulator.

Yeah, you're right!MitchK1989 wrote:uh wat?

My mistake! Fabfilter's Twin 2 has a ring modulator and it sometimes gives different results when you swap them over, don't know why. That's why I was under the impression that there is a difference. When you do the math it's always the same. The sum and difference never change.
Thanks a lot!!
