WITHIN THEN OSCILLA-
TOR-EDIT-MENU
RINGMODULATOR VOLUME The
ring modulator multiplies the out-
put of both oscillator 1 and 2 to cre-
ate interesting sounds with rich
enharmonic overtones. These over-
tones are highly dependent on the
frequency coherence of both oscil-
lators and it’s waveforms. The fre-
quency coherence can be changed,
for instance use the OSC2 SEMI-
TONE parameter. If the RINGMOD-
ULATOR VOLUME is zero, the ring
modulator is switched off. OSC VOL
does NOT affect the ring modula-
tor level. Therefore the original
oscillator signal can be levelled
independently of the ring modula-
tor.
You’ll find another ring modulator
in the effects section of the Virus.
It, however, processes entirely dif-
ferent input signals.

When the noise generator is used
by Oscillator 2 for frequency modu-
lation (see FM mode), the NOISE
COLOR setting also influences the
sound of the frequency modula-
tion.
