Hi,
I made this patch around the idea of combining frequency modulation technique and ring modulation, since I haven’t explored them a lot till now.
I must say that it offers a LLLLOT of sonic possibilities even if both techniques are a bit confusing and difficult to master. The sum of parameters combination for 4 operators are almost infinite and working on the pitches of these ringed sinewaves is tricky.

Patch note:
– 4 operators to A*B+C to a 2nd A*B+C.
– The multiple is here to help making changes of algorythm on the fly and make them more readable.
– The second A*B+C receives two sinewaves from EV3 as well (1carrier and one modulator; the modulator passes through a wavefolder before.)
-To drive this patch a bit crasy here and there, I combine a dual envelope and a rampage for pitch modulation. They modulate them (LFO frequency, envelope’s attack and decay) eachother.
-The 3rd voice of EV3 provides a rumbling and droning bass.
-You’ll notice that I didn’t use any quantizer. It wasn’t really necessary since EV3 is self quantized and since I worked on a C based pitch with only ratios on the operators (0.125, 0.250, 0.5, 1, 2…).

The challenge, here… if we can really consider it as a challenge was to limit the number of module up to 20. I deliberately decided to use no complex modules and a basic sequencer.

This is it. I hope that you’ll enjoy the result.
