Modulation oscillator, part one: Ring mod

“

- We've talked about the basic three oscillators, the audio signals of Massive, but now we're gonna talk about another type of oscillator that also moves at audio rate. What do I mean by audio rate? Well, basically we have our audio rate oscillators that are audio signals. We also have our LFOs, which move more slowly and that's why we call them low-frequency oscillators because we use them as control signals and we can generally hear their movement. We are going to now sort of combine the two and use a special oscillator that is a control signal much like the LFOs are, but moves at audio rate like our regular oscillators. I'm gonna create a new instance of Massive here to work with to do a little demonstration and then we'll adapt some of the techniques that we use into other sounds we already created. Our modulation oscillator can be found down below the other oscillators over here and it's got four settings: Ring Mod, Phase, Position, and Filter FM. Right now we're gonna talk about…
