Ringshifter oscillator parameters in MainStage
In both frequency shifter modes and ring modulator OSC mode, the internal sine wave oscillator is used to modulate the amplitude of the input signal.
In the frequency shifter modes, the Frequency parameter controls the amount of frequency shifting, either up or down, applied to the input signal.
In the ring modulator OSC mode, the Frequency parameter controls the frequency content, or timbre, of the resulting effect. This timbre can range from subtle tremolo effects to clangorous metallic sounds.
Oscillator parameters
Frequency control: Set the frequency of the sine oscillator.
Linear/Exponential buttons: Switch the scaling of the Frequency control.
Lin: Linear scaling is even across the entire control range.
Exp: Exponential scaling offers extremely small increments around the 0 point, which is useful for programming slow-moving phasing and tremolo effects.
Env Follow slider and field: Determine the impact of incoming signal levels on the oscillator modulation depth.
LFO slider and field: Determine the amount of oscillator modulation by the LFO.
