Exactly. If the ringmod is a "clean" circuit the sound will be true to the original. The modDemod is not a clean circuit, and so the octave up is "crunchy."

Additionally, you may get aggressie sounds by tuning 2 VCO to intervals and using one as program and the other as carrier, applied to a ringmod or balanced modulator as some like to call them.
