Very cool sounds. Getting into Buckethead territory with some of your ideas. I never had any use for the RM but you opened some doors. Thanks.

Lovely... I use Ring Modulator a lot but you've given me more things to try.

It's great for bringing out the weird and/or funky

Love the (Bridge of Sighs) Robin Trower.

Awesome sounds - opened my ears to some new thanks. Thanks Leon!

Ring Mod never made any sense to me, but it does now!

That was a lot of creative ideas. Well done Leon.

Maybe time for some new Ring Mod effect types @Admin M@ ?

I might need to wish for 4 channels... Ring Mod only has 2

Well —OK then! I’m off to make some rude guitar noises of my own (which my wife already thinks I’m gifted at).

The filter block should have a 1 or 2 knob mode for envelope filter.

An early inspiration was an incredible trumpet player/composer/band leader named Don Ellis … probably best known for his score to The French Connection. He died far too young.

One of his many extraordinary ideas was running his trumpet through a tuned ring modulator (custom built by Tom Oberheim!) to generate harmonic sidebands. Check out his fantastic album Tears of Joy.

Saw Don Ellis at Memphis State University where father was teaching math at the time.

Good heavens. So that’s what that thing is for. I’ve always wondered!

Very cool.
Much more musical than most ringmod adventures.
Bravo!

You haven't by any chance posted the preset(s), have you?
Didn't see em on AxeChange.

I used to enjoy the ring mod back when the tracking wasn't so good and by playing sloppily you could get it to suddenly jump up an octave or to another note altogether. Great chaotic fun.
