ring modulator (RM)

Ring modulators(RM) are analog circuits with which two input signals are mixed to an output signal.

The output signal corresponds to the sum and the difference of the two input signals, but does not contain the original input signals.

Such ring modulators are used in carrier frequency technology and in synthesizers. In synthesizers, the generated output signals are harsh, garish and inharmonic. If harmonic-containing signals such as square wave signals or triangle signals are used as input signals, then complex output signals with reverb-like or bell-like sound are generated.
