You taught me everything I know about modular, Omri! And now in quarantine I decided to go for it and start with my hardware modular rack! Cheers and greetings from Mexico
Omri, these tutorials, going back to the FM series, etc, on the 'fundamental' synthesis styles are major stuff! The fact that you take the methods to such creative highs is a wonder. Thank you. And thank you again. It's such a wonderful resource this VCV for making these ideas clear and enticing. Yes!
Love it! I now better understand the basics of ring modulation!!! Thanks for taking the time to put this together and explain every step. :D One thing that I didn't understand. For the drums, you sent the inverted mix to the mixer. Is there a reason for this?
Glad it was helpful! About the drums, I guess it was just easier to have two copies from two outputs but I don't think there was a special reason for this.
You synchronised a modulator from the carrier, which was already modulated by something else before being RMed to that modulator that was synced to it... it blew my mind! But it sounded amazing. :) I always knew ring modulators were one of the most undervalued synth components (especially in pre-built synths). It's the one thing that I really wish they'd included on the MatrixBRUTE.
Thank you! I discovered not so long ago that you can also modulate your amount of sent signal (to effect bus and what not) at audio rate and get same timbre of ring modulated signal but only wet one, leaving dry signal as is.
Thanks for your amazing tutorials, Omri. They are really helping me out a lot. I have one question though. At 2:44 you demonstrate that when you modulate a carrier running at 300 Hz with a modulator running at 200, you get the fundamental (300 Hz) and two side bands at the sum and difference of the carrier and modulator, so at 300 - 200 = 100 and 300 + 200 = 500 Hz. A minute later you raise the frequency of the modulator to 400 Hz, which results in the fundamental at 300 and two side bands at 100 and 700 Hz. In your calculation you say "400 - 300 is again 100 Hz". You subtract the frequency of the carrier from the frequency of the modulator, while in the previous example you did it the other way around. Is this correct?
Hi, thanks so much! Well, when the band will reach the zero point, it will be inverted and will start climbing again so if we calculate 300 - 400, we get negative 100Hz, but what will happen is that when reaching zero, it will go up so it will be 300 - 300 and then + 100. Does this make sense? You can see this also on the analyzer if you bring the modulator to a higher frequency of the carrier, you will see how the band hits zero and then starts to climb again.
Hello. First of all, thank you for all the content you publish! So interesting! Question: I really don’t understand the part about AM, and typically the role of the POLARISER. I understand that the signal can’t go thru the VCA if it is negative. But how it goes thru when inverting the carrier? After many tests, I still don’t understand… Thank you! Alain, Fr
Hey, thanks! The thing is that it's not the audio that's not going through when it's negative, it's the modulation not effecting the VCA. This means that there will be silence when the modulation is negative. If you use a polarizer, the audio will still go through even if the modulation is negative. This will result in no silence. The result of the audio being inverted is just a side effect, if you will. Does this make more sense? Feel free to email me if not and I will try to send you a few examples.
@@OmriCohen-Music That makes sens inded! So we could create a system which inverts the modulation when it is negative, so has to accept the carrier during this time? Alain
