14 <h2>Functionality</h2>
15 <p>
16 Ring Modulator distorts the original signal with a LFO-generated
17 signal - the so called "modulator". The modulator can be altered in frequency
18 even by another LFO which adds some kind of modulating distortion to the signal.
19 A third LFO is used to modulate different aspects of the ring modulator to
20 create even more strange effects.
21 </p>
22 <h2>Tips</h2>
23 <ul><li>This effect can be used for subtle modulation effects as well as heavy distortion
24 to create e.g. some robotic-like voices.</li>
25 <li>The little red LEDs light up when a value is controlled by one of the LFOs and the corresponding knob is deactivated.</li>
26 <h2>Controls</h2>
27 <ul>
28 <li><strong>Bypass:</strong> Don't process anything, just bypass the signal</li>
29 <li><strong>Input Gain:</strong> Control the input level before the signal is processed</li>
30 <li><strong>Input Level:</strong> The level after the input knob</li>
31 <li><strong>0dB:</strong> Flashes if input level rises above 0dB</li>
32 <li><strong>Output:</strong> Control the output of the plugin - clipping could destroy your signal</li>
33 <li><strong>Output Level:</strong> The level after processing and after the output knob</li>
34 <li><strong>0dB:</strong> Flashes, if the signal rises about 0dB in the output stage</li>
35 <li><strong>Output Gain:</strong> The level at the output of the processor</li>
36 <li><strong>Modulator:</strong>
37 <ul>
38 <li><strong>Frequency:</strong> The frequency of the modulator</li>
39 <li><strong>Detune:</strong> Detune the modulators frequency between left and right channel</li>
40 <li><strong>Phase:</strong> Shift the phase of the right channels modulator against the left channel</li>
41 <li><strong>Amount:</strong> Set the amount of how much the original signal is modulated</li>
42 <li><strong>Listen:</strong> Listen to the modulators signal</li>
43 <li><strong>Waveform:</strong> The waveform of the modulator</li>

57 </ul>
58 </li>
59 <li><strong>LFO 2:</strong>
60 <ul>
