Balanced Modulator

Courtesy/Thanks to: Paia

Description: Balanced modulators are identified by a number of different
names and to the average musician the most familiar is
probably ring modulator. A ring modulator is simply a
specific means of implementing a balanced modulator using a
diode ring as the modulating element. As far as function is
concerned there is no difference between the two.

For the purposes of this explanation a third name, Four
Quadrant Multiplier, not only gives us something to call the
module but as we shall shortly see is also an exact statement
of what it does....
