It's unlisted? Nope...they messed with the defaults or I did or something when I was messing around with it. Everything got screwed up...haha. Dang old youtubes! I'll fix it.
Fixed...maybe it was when I installed that YouTube studio thing on my phone?
Anyway, I'm thinking Swan Song or Space Ring next...plus a video for the UC drum machine ring mod search...

Apologies for the hand dancing...I was trying to make static
Also...I wasn't playing bloody knuckles with a saw blade...I swear.

All these sound great!
Nice use of the Cyber Psychic.
that thing.
Does the Melos have more low end than some of the other ring mods?

The Ringworm and the Fairfield pedal sound awesome!

I guess the way go look at it would be the ones that pass the most subharmonic content with their preamps as having more low end I guess...the nice thing about the melos is that it has three different signal levels via switch (like a lot of old effects did) so it can go from sparkly clean to really dirty preamp distortion.
Overall I would say that the Melos is the cleanest and most dynamic of the ones above. The carrier sustains the least.
The space ring is really really dirty (the preamp is like a fuzz or fuzzy boost) but it is really more midsy. Toxic Plant is very similar in spectrum range (preamp, not character).
The Melos probably did have the most low end overall with maybe the sick Pitch King 1 coming in second. I think those two, out of the above, just have the best preamps and are balanced the best. The Melos is so well balanced that the carrier doesn't add any extra sustain so it is really easy to play more dynamic riffs; it just sounds natural and is really great.
Fairfield would probably be up there, but it has some severe balancing issues with different input signals (it really is guitar centric).
Passive is by far the most dynamic though...but constant adjustments are needed.

The Ringworm is really one of the biggest surprises I've ever had in a pedal...it really had a bad wrap. But the value for the money is awesome...really does a lot of fun stuff. Kinda shines outside of guitar land...but it sounds great on guitar too.Pepe wrote:The Ringworm and the Fairfield pedal sound awesome!

Yeah, I liked the Melos best, but I also really like the Fairfield for a couple seconds from 3:09

The Fairfield sounds a bit KORG MS-20ish, especially in the moment that Changeez mentioned. Nice resonant sounds.

Yea, that bit is nice! Should of let it ride for a bit there...too many knobs though haha.
Korg had some weird ring mods in their synths over the years. The one from the 700s really interests me.
I'll do more of those next week or something when I actually made some better drum beats. Thanks you all.

The ring modulator is awesome and with the triangle waveform you can create wonderful bell-like sounds. The 800DV is my all-time favourite synth. Re: Ring (and/or Balanced) Modulation for the masses

I didn't realize the maxi korg was two 700s synths in one! So freaking nice...that traveler filter too. Always liked that synth a ton by the sound (both of em).
Didn't realize (or forgot) you have that...so freaking awesome!
If you are getting Bell sounds, that is awesome. I've looked over the schamtics of the 700s a few times but I can't remember if it is transistor or IC based.
Korg ring mod sound demo! Haha.

I could do one, but I'm piled under so much other work.

No worries man! I know you are busy.
Never a hurry and no worries if you have no interest. More for my own curiosity than anyone else's probably...I'll probably build an effect version of it someday.
This is the schem I looked at...from what I can tell it is like a discrete version of something like the mullard tab101. Transistor based. http://www.cykong.com/Synths/Korg%20700 ... loured.gif
