EFFECTS SECTION
By routing the preset (or MIDI channel)
to effect B and panning to opposite sides
(shown below), two different waves can be
ring modulated. Ring modulation works
well with simple waves such as sine waves
and the harmonic waveforms. Also, try
complex waves modulated with sine
waves. (Play chords!) Complex waveforms
tend to sound rather noise-like.
Pan the primary and secondary instru-
ments to left and right in the pan screen
and then move to the Effect B screen and
select Ring Modulator. There are no
parameters to adjust in this effect so the
lower line of the display always reads:
None.
