DIY MFOS Ring Modulator KB
We always recommend visiting the MFOS website before building where the latest 'offical' information and news can be found. Here on the Soundtronics website, you will find selected information from the MFOS site plus additional information and resources to aid the building and maintaining of your MFOS synth. This is not going to happen over-night but during the course of 2014, it will start to take shape as we document our experiences in the construction of these modules. We would also like to include any experiences, hints and tips from customers as well so feel free to contact us or simply post a comment using the form at the foot of this page.
Introduction to the MFOS Ring Modulator
The SONIC MULTIPLIER is a great addition to any modular synth project. By multiplying signals the sounds of bells can be emulated. Put your voice through the SONIC MULTIPLIER to sound like a complete alien and get odd effects by playing other instruments through it. I have noticed that when the internal sine is tuned for example to a "D" and then I gently pick the notes of D Maj on the guitar that even the modulated tones sound good together. There is a wide field of experimental music open trying things of that nature.
