DE-modulation
I saw this analogue device that does ringmodulation and demodulation, this is the first ive ever heard of demodulation, I would love to know if anyone has done this in max and if its as easy as ringmodulation. (which as far as I know is just multiplying 2 signals)
its really cool, sounds like old space transmissions when you talk through it, I guess its what they used to use at nasa to encode and decode signals for radio transmission.
I'm sure I've read other posts re this issue, but cant find anything using
google:
I have a bank of sample players that access a library containing a mix of
mono and stereo files.
I use groove to loop these sounds - but run into problems when I need to
play back a mono file - which results in sound in only one channel.
Sfplay~ has that great function "modout 1" that enables you to output mono
signal to all ( i.e L & R) outlets.
Are there any workarounds to get a patch using groove~ to do this?
Cheers

how is it that these unrelated posts show up in my thread? some kind of email/list confusion?
Anyway, anyone know how to demodulate a signal?

right about now I wish I could demodulate this thread
confusing indeed..

I think it's a really simple process, really.
Mod== *~
Demod== /~
I had a bit of fun by playing with the relationship between those two
parameters.

Sorry, I forgot to mention I did try /~ but it didn't sound like what I thought it would. In that demo the voice has this great subtle garbling, but when I do it in max it has a harsh buzz on top and not much else. Maybe thats just the beauty of analogue.

Yeah, I did get that one a lot, but then every now and then the tweaking
would converge on something like in the video, too. Noodling is a big
part of it, and I think it is on analogue modular patches too.

funny, I asked the guy who created that demod device, apparently modulation and demodulation are the same circuit.

That's kind of funny, that. But yes, perfect demodulation would be done
with the exact same circuit and then phase reversal... theoretically, right?
alright, that's it! No more futzing about with tiny sandbox patches.
Time for a noisemaker or two!

hehehe sorry, dont worry andreas Ill have something cool for everyone soon.

Yes. For instance, you can decode the ring-modulated vocals at the
beginning of Aphex's "Milk Man" by applying a ring mod. with the same
settings, but 180 degrees off.

Bah, I was being imprecise. I meant "Andreas, no more futzing about!" -
I had a ton of fun last night NOT testing scenarios in Max, but rather
doing some blind patching. Fun fun fun.
