The Balanced Modulator with its bell-like, dissonant modulations is one of the key sound generators of electronic music. In operation, the two input frequencies are multiplied and the sum and difference output with the fundamentals suppressed. The resulting tones can exhibit rare beauty or serious cacophony. <>With a built-in envelope follower and three way voltage controlled waveform modulator, this module goes way beyond conventional ring modulators. Klang Werk packs a whole lot of modular synth into a small package, but doesn't take anything away from its use as a traditional module."
