23: Ring Modulator
This effect creates a metallic sound by routing the input signal to an Oscillator. You will obtain a very rad- ical modulation by modulating or operating the Oscillator using an LFO or dynamic modulation. Since the Oscillator frequency can match the note number, you can create a ring modulation effect that follows the scale.

a: Pre LPF | This parameter sets the damping amount of the sound input to the Ring Modu-  | 
  | lator. If the input signal contains a lot of harmonics, the effect sound tends to be  | 
  | dirty. In this case, cut a certain amount of the high range.  | 
b: OSC Mode | This parameter determines whether the Oscillator frequency follows the note  | 
  | number.  |
