Can anyone wax eloquent on the origin of the name of the category of modules know as Ring Modulators? I've heard a couple of odd theories that sound unlikely. It seems simplistic to assume that it refers to a particular "ringing" sound that they might be used to produce. (I guess I'll really feel dumb if that's what it means!) Do they always follow an algorithm of X*Y? ~Terry

It refers to the schematic! Early ring mods used a "ring" of diodes and 2 transformers. It the same way, a "ladder filter" ALSO refers to the way the schematic is drawn. Paul S. ----- Original Message -----
