5.7.3.7 The Ring Modulator
The Rind Modulator will process two audio signals. The source signal is the input
named Audio.
From there, you can decide which signal to multiply it with. If you connect
another audio source to the Mult input, then the Audio signal’s amplitude will be
multiplied by the Mult input.
If you don’t connect anything to the Mult input, then a basic sine wave will be
used as the carrier. You can define the depth and the rate of this sine from the
two knobs.
The output is the processed audio.
5.7.3.8 The Bode Shifter
The Bode Shifter is a frequency shifter. That means that it will shift the
frequency of the Audio input by a certain amount. This amount is defined by the
Shift parameter and the Scale parameter. The Scale parameter can be either
linear (5, 50, 500 and 5k), or exponential (Exp)
Output A carries only the downshifted signal, output B carries only the upshifted
signal. The MIX output contains the mixture of down- and upshifted signals and
their relationship can be set with the MIX control.
5.7.3.9 The Karplus Strong module
The Karplus Strong module is a physical modeling tool that will emulate the
behavior of a plucked string. You can define the frequency of the string, a
