Based on six different algorithms, Marshmallow's main controls include \"voice\" and \"two\" which determine the degree of pitch shifting from the original signal as well as mix to blend back with your dry signal. Additional alternative coloring can be achieved via the secondary clock control, degrading from a pristine 24-bit audio path to a lo-fi and crunchy audio quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAchieve chorusing pitch shifts with the MOD mode or find more wobbly and random modulations in the RAND mode.

For more complex and timbrally developing pitch shifts, look to the RING mode ring-modulating the two pitch shifts, or even the CLOUD mode for lovely shimmers and pitch shifting delays. Each mode features a unique property combination of the \"mod\" and \"alt\" controls, but many overlap for easier understanding and recognition.

Often cold, dissonant and conjuring  up whatever emotion it is that machines from the future feel. A rarely used effect, but you know it when you hear it. Carefully tuned ring modulator can create musical harmonic structures like Black Sabbath’s use on Paranoid. More often we hear them in science fiction films to make robots sound like evil emotionless killing machines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-fontsize=\"18\" data-lineheight=\"18.72px\" class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\"\u003eRing modulation with pitch detection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes you just want to plug in and play.
