Description

This audio effect uses a time-delayed version of an audio signal to ring modulate itself. The result is a distortion that affects only inharmonics of the signal. Better heard than described! Be careful with the feedback control because this effect can self-oscillate at high feedback levels sometimes.

V0.02 fixes the Wet/Dry control and balances the gain, plus makes some minor tweaks.

0v03 fixes the time sync and adds filtering to the time-delayed signal so that you can put the distortion in specific parts of the spectrum.

    great idea, this.

    great but dry/wet doesn't work.

    lek, I've re-examined the Max code and can't see any reason that the Dry/Wet mix control should not work for you. Has anyone else had this problem?

    yes, Dry/Wet doesn't work plus there seems to be a pretty big volume drop. However, this seems to have nice promise!

    Updated to fix Wet/Dry mix and balance. Minor changes to other controls.
