A-114 : Dalek to Zappa, Radio to Gong

10 years ago

The ring modulator has been used by many artists including Frank Zappa on his voice and John McLaughlin. on his guitar.

It can create anything from a Dalek voice to gong or radio sounds.

For a primitive vocoder put a microphone into one of the inputs and a a low pitched oscillator into the the other and the multiplied signal from the output to your mixer.

To make gong or bell sounds try saw / sine or a square / sine combination on the inputs and have one an octave higher than the other. Though always experiment these are only suggestions.
