COMPLIANCE This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Intellijel Designs, Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
INSTALLATION This module is designed for use within an Intellijel-standard 1U row, such as contained within the Intellijel Palette cases, or 7U Performance cases. Intellijel’s 1U specification is derived from the Eurorack mechanical specification set by Doepfer that is designed to support the use of lipped rails within industry standard rack heights.
Installing Your Module When installing or removing a module from your case always turn off the power to the case and disconnect the power cable. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or equipment damage. Ensure the 10-pin connector on the power cable is connected correctly to the module before proceeding. The red stripe on the cable must line up with the -12V pins on the module’s power connector. Different modules use different ways to indicate the -12V pins.
FRONT PANEL Ring Modulation is a classic synthesis technique that takes two source waveforms and generates a third waveform, which contains the sum and difference frequencies of the two inputs. At audio rates, ring modulation creates a fairly inharmonic and ‘metallic’ sound. At LFO rates, ring modulation can generate interesting, complex modulation shapes. [1] IN X - First of two Ring Modulator inputs. The input is DC coupled, so you can ring mod slower sources (like LFOs), as well as audio rate signals.
Using Ring Mod 1U as a VCA Not every patch needs a ring mod, but most patches could benefit from another VCA. For this reason, Ring Mod 1U can be pressed into service as a simple VCA when not performing ring modulation duties. 1. Connect your audio signal to IN Y [2]. 2. Connect your modulation source (such as the output of an envelope or LFO) to IN X [1]. 3. Connect the RING OUT [3] jack to your audio mixer.
