for the dimension expander effect, try these:

Free Stereo Expander VST Plugins!

a ring modulator is an effect that uses a simple oscillator to modulate the audio signal you send to it. here's a nice article about it:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/no ... modulators

positive and negative flanger - not sure, perhaps it has something to do with the phase of the flanged signal?

stretcher timestretches your audio, shuffler cuts it into parts and then randomizes the order in which they are played and reverser just kinda reverses it lol.

Reverses the sound input.


Are these trick questions btw, or is your Google/common sense genuinely broken? :|

dblue glitch does what it says
Stretcher randomly stretches the sample to the specified time stretch, or speeds it up.
Shuffler shuffles the sound around
Reverser reverses part of the sample

it`s self explanatory

Ring modulators from wiki

Frequency mix or heterodyne two waveforms, and output the sum and difference of the frequencies present in each waveform.
Two oscillators, whose frequencies were harmonically related and ring modulated against each other, produce sounds that still adhere to the harmonic partials of the notes, but contain a very different spectral make up.

If I use Ring Modulation in FM, it will create more metallic tones.
As well, neither the carrier nor the incoming signal are prominent in the outputs, and ideally, not at all.
Meaning the modulator itself is not recognizable but rather shapes the sound over adding waveforms to the sound.
It shapes 2 waveforms to produce a new waveform rather than mixing the 2.

If this makes sense?

Can anyone recommend a free ring modulator vst? Sounds like fun.

EDIT: After following some links and googling - I really want to hear this.
