CGS ring mod + a106 thoughts

CGS ring mod + a106 thoughts

2005-11-19 by thomasborax

hello-
brushing over the recent posts about the real ring mod, i must say 
that this is indeed a great item to have in your arsenal. if you 
don't have one, please go get one and break out your soldering iron.  
a100 users can boost their signals before or after the real ring mod 
with an a119s. this can compensate for any volume drops and if using 
two a119s before the RRM you can create many nice effects by tweeking 
the clipping a bit on either the x in, the y in, or both.  i was 
doing this today and it sounds fantastic.  i think that the real ring 
mod is the most beautiful ring modulator out there.  it sounds like 
breaking glass or dropping peppermint candy into a blender.  the high 
frequency content of the output signal is a spellbinding but 
lacerating carbonated sizzling type of sound.

secondly, i wanted to comment some to users and potential buyers of 
the a106.  this is a very interesting module.  i think i over-
estimated it's usefullness as a "filter" so at first i was a little 
disappointed.  i had hoped for a good filter as well as a crazy noise 
module, but what i got was mostly the latter and thats a good thing.  
after a few hours of putzing around with the module, i discovered so 
many frizzy, squeally, and flatulent sounds.  it is a chaotic, moody 
and naughty little circuit!  one thing it isn't though, in my 
opinion, is abrasive.  in fact, i find the high resonance settings of 
the a108 to be more abrasive than the a106.  even when the a106 is 
frizzed out into a wash of pink noise it somehow still sounds very 
gorgeous and inviting, not shrill at all.  i think you can fine tune 
it into some very nice leads or basses and even get some quacking 
envelope filter sounds too, but the more erratic wobbling noise 
settings and disorienting resonance maelstroms are my personal 
favorite thing about the module.  i like how sometimes you can hold 
one note and hear it change timbre without even moving any setting or 
dials or CVs.  some of the settings, depending on your input, are 
just very unstable.

so i'd say get one if you don't have one, but have a good filter too, 
because i didn't find the unclipped filter sound held my interest at 
all.

ok then-
tom

hey, how about a little patch'o'rama for the group. most of the so-called
''contests'' died previously. let's put some life into that aspect . any
takers on a106 and/or ringmod (tweaked or not) patches?
all the best to all

Re: CGS ring mod + a106 thoughts

hi-
i would like to post a clip of the real ring mod with two a119s 
before it in the signal chain, but my computer is currently crapping 
out too often and my recording app., cubase, is too unstable now to 
mess with.  when i get it back up into good running i will try to 
post some MP3s to the file sections of the site.
