DACS FwS FREQue II MK2 Ring Modulator Analog Effects Processor

Ring Modulation has been around for a long time. Its usefulness was always limited by the high level of breakthrough of the original signals. Some years ago DACS developed a device which reduced this breakthrough to levels compatible with digital technology. The FwS series of ring modulator based effectors retains the purity of the effect with breakthrough performance. With the DACS FwS FREQue II MK2 Ring Modulator you will be able to transform your existing sound generators creating an almost infinite range of unique sounds using your hands and your ears.

The Effects

With low frequency modulation inputs: Simple to complex autopan effects, gating, amplitude modulation, flanging, spatialising.

With mid frequency modulation inputs

Vocoding type effects, adding tunable harmonics, both lower down to subsonic, and up to supersonic, second harmonic distortion (like valves/tubes), harmonising, retuning percussion, gating, general rich distortion, Sci-Fi voices (eg a Dalek)

With high frequency modulation inputs

Transposition with distortion, adding glitter, air, sparkle etc when mixed back into original.

With music or sounds into both inputs

Vocoding effects, gating effects, fattening/thickening effects, spatial effects, weird transformations.

Internal FM

Frequency Modulation of modulation oscillator at all frequencies, giving effects ranging from slow pulsation to the classic FM generation of complex waveforms.

External voltage control of oscillators

Envelope follower effects, FM effects as above, randomised autopanning.

Frequency shift

Up and down shift of frequency with change in harmonic structure, with FM for sliding effects, using feedback loop to create filter type sweeps.
