i would say that the emu 'transform multiply' process is more comparable with that of a vocoder, although none of the results really sound like your traditional vocoder sounds. as far as the effect being used before goes, 'transform multiply' was certainly a function available in the emax II, which surfaced around 88 (?) [can't remember if it was in the emax I or the emulator II?], so it's fairly likely that it has been used before! mark >from my understanding a ring modulator takes the sum and difference of the >frequencies to create a crystalline effect, and that's definitely not what >this is, unless there are other ways to use ring modulation that im not >aware of. > > -sean > >----- Original Message ----- >From: Matthew Allen <xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx> >To: 'sean whalen' <xxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx>; idmlist <xxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx> >Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 1999 9:05 PM >Subject: (idm) RE: (dim) transform multiply > > >> >From your description this is basically what a ring modulator does.
