Maybe if you describe what you are trying to achieve we can be of more help. There are many unexpected ways of achieving the same or similar results as other systems, often with modules that are not dedicated to that one function.

The wave processor contains a dedicated ring modulator. One with some really useful features that allow you to shape your sound in various voltage controlled ways. Furthermore, creating sum and difference frequencies of a ring modulated sound are possible with other modules such as the frequency shifter and xfader. If you are trying to make inharmonic combinations of tones, almost every module in the system can be used in that way, it just takes some experimentation. When experimenting, I recommend letting go of your concept of "true ring modulator sounds" and expolore the endless possibilities of other unique and interesting sounds possible with the system.

>Mayhem is the only M-class module with noise.

The choice to include a dedicated noise output in only one M-class panel seems to be very wise. There is very little advantage to having lots of white noise sources in a small system. Again, let go of the idea that noise sounds can only come from a noise output, and explore the fantastic noise sounds that can be achieved by patching together other modules. These are much more interesting to me, and I think you will agree. Have fun!
