Delay parameters: Use these to delay the effect signal. See Using the Ringshifters Delay.
Envelope follower parameters: The oscillator frequency and output signal can be
modulated with an envelope follower. See Modulating the Ringshifter with the Envelope
Follower.
LFO parameters: The oscillator frequency and output signal can be modulated with an
LFO. See Modulating the Ringshifter with the LFO.
Output parameters: The output section of the Ringshifter includes a feedback loop and
controls to set the stereo width and amount of the dry and wet signals. See Controlling
the Ringshifter Output Parameters.
Setting the Ringshifter Mode
The four mode buttons determine whether the Ringshifter operates as a frequency shifter
or as a ring modulator.
Single (Frequency Shifter) button: The frequency shifter generates a single, shifted effect
signal. The oscillator Frequency control determines whether the signal is shifted up
(positive value) or down (negative value).
Dual (Frequency Shifter) button: The frequency shifting process produces one shifted
effect signal for each stereo channel—one is shifted up, the other is shifted down. The
oscillator Frequency control determines the shift direction in the left versus the right
channel.
OSC (Ring Modulator) button: The ring modulator uses the internal sine wave oscillator
to modulate the input signal.
Side Chain (Ring Modulator) button: The ring modulator modulates the amplitude of
the input signal with the audio signal assigned via the side-chain input. The sine wave
oscillator is switched off, and the Frequency controls are not accessible when Side
Chain mode is active.
Using the Ringshifters Oscillator
In both frequency shifter modes and the ring modulator OSC mode, the internal sine
wave oscillator is used to modulate the amplitude of the input signal.
In the frequency shifter modes, the Frequency parameter controls the amount of
frequency shifting (up and/or down) applied to the input signal.
