Does what it says on the tin
Martyn Q. 12.04.2015
It's not flashy, it's not beautiful - but is, as is usual for doepfer, a robust good quality build and darned useful little module. Clean sound, no bells and whistles - unless you are making bell and whistle sounds of course, in which case it excels XD

Ideas for uses;
The obvious scifi sounds, feed it detuned or pitch modulated sine oscs and lots of reverb (maybe a199 spring verb).
Split an osc signal with a mult and waveshape and frequency shift one copy and ringmod the two together (beefy sounds here!).

Excellent value dual ring mod with no controls
Anonymous 20.01.2016
This ring mod unit provides exceptional value for money, giving you two ring mods for less than the price of what you would expect to pay for one. It provides two inputs (X and Y) and one output (the product of X multiplied by Y) for each ring mod circuit. For example, the classic use for this kind of circuit would be to input an audio signal to X and an LFO wave to Y, giving you an often metallic and mostly atonal product at the output. I would have like to have had some controls on here, maybe just an attenuator on each input since most LFOs don't have built in attenuation. However, I realise that this would have increased the price of the unit. The build quality is great, as you would expect from Doepfer. All in all, it's a no-frills, value for money and extremely useful module which I would recommend to anyone who, like me, has limited space and money for modules.

Dalek to Zappa, Radio to Gong
Anonymous 30.09.2016
The ring modulator has been used by many artists including Frank Zappa on his voice and John McLaughlin. on his guitar.

It can create anything from a Dalek voice to gong or radio sounds.

For a primitive vocoder put a microphone into one of the inputs and a a low pitched oscillator into the the other and the multiplied signal from the output to your mixer.

To make gong or bell sounds try saw / sine or a square / sine combination on the inputs and have one an octave higher than the other. Though always experiment these are only suggestions.

A Bit of a Dirty Ring
Ross B. 07.05.2014
This module does exactly what it says on the tin, giving you two ring mods in a very compact and affordable package.

Sound wise it is a bit on the dirty side and there is some bleed through from the signal connected to the Y inputs to the output.

Ringmods are great when you want to add some weird harmonics to a sound or need an old school sci-fi effect, this works well for both but due its slightly rough sound I would say it is probably better suited to the latter.

Passing the output through a low pass and hitting it with a tight envelope can deliver some interesting percussive sounds.

For the money you can't go wrong. :)
