Ring Modulation Synthesis
Modulation synthesis introduction.
Ring modulation synthesis. Ring modulation tutorial and explanation. If the initial frequency is 440 hz and the amplitude frequency is 100 hz youll hear two tones. Synthesizer boot camp 5 frequency modulation synthesis part 1 of 2. When we talk about modulation from an audio synthesis point of view we refer to a time varying signal the carrier being affected in some way by another the modulator.
Mathematically ring modulation is just a special case of amplitude modulation in which the carrier and modulating signal are set equal in amplitude inside the modulator. Ringmod ringmodulation ring modulation it produces a waveshape that contains the sum of as well as the difference between the two original waveshapes. This is why with a true ring modulator circuit it does not matter which signal is routed to which input. Eine moeglichkeit aus der summe und der differenz der frequenzen der beiden oszillatoren metallische und glockenartige klangspektren zu erzeugen.
They are treated equally inside the modulator circuit. This process is an example of amplitude modulation called ring modulation because of its symmetrical nature. The logical xor will produce a similar sound. Were looking at an olympic ring modulation tutorial.
A bipolar signal is simply a signal that has positive and negative values. In this lecture we will examine three forms of modulations. Ring modulation multiplication can be performed with any signals and in fact the most sonically interesting uses of ring modulation involve complex tones. However well stick to sine tones in this example for the sake of simplicity to allow you to hear clearly the effects of signal multiplication.
This makes rm different than am because it has the effect of cancelling the carrier frequency from the output signal leaving only the sum and difference frequencies. Ring modulation rm amplitude modulation am and frequency modulation fm. Auch schraege klaenge sind gern hiermit. A ring modulator on the other hand passes the carrier when the modulation signal goes negative as well but it inverts it anything x a negative negative anything.
Ring modulation rm synthesis is almost identical to am synthesis with the exception that it uses a bipolar modulation signal. Modulation is the alteration of the amplitude frequency and phase of an oscillator in accordance with another signal. In electronics ring modulation is a signal processing function an implementation of frequency mixing performed by creating multiple frequencies from those of the two signals where one is typically a sine wave or another simple waveform and the other is the signal to be modulated.
