Ring Mod
Ring Mod combines the signal with a built-in tone for everything from slow tremolo to metallic, bell-like overtones. Three waveforms, stereo phase offset, a depth control that blends from a gentle wobble into the full metallic effect, and post filters to tame the extremes.
The reason this one stays on tracks: it tracks. Keytrack follows the audio's detected pitch or live MIDI notes - with a semitone offset - so the metallic overtones stay in tune with the music instead of clashing, and the input's own loudness can push the tone's frequency with the performance.
Why it hits different
The GhostWare take.
- Pitch tracking keeps ring mod musical across a whole melody.
- Play the built-in tone from your MIDI keyboard, live.
- Loudness-to-frequency for growls that follow the dynamics.

Control Showcase
Every control, explained.
12 controls, named exactly as they appear in the plugin.
Frequency of the built-in tone - low is a tremolo-like wobble, high is metallic, bell-like overtones.
Locks the timing to your session tempo at the chosen note value instead of free-running.
Shape of the built-in tone: Sine (pure), Triangle (softer harmonics) or Square (hard chop).
Offsets the tone between channels for stereo shimmer.
High-pass after the effect to clean up the sub rumble the effect creates.
Blend from a subtle tremolo wobble (low) to the full metallic ring-mod effect (100%).
Low-pass after the effect to tame the harsh top-end overtones.
Lets the input's loudness push the tone's frequency up or down.
How fast the envelope follower reacts.
How fast the envelope follower relaxes.
Tunes the built-in tone to the music: Pitch Track follows the audio's detected pitch; MIDI follows notes you play into the plugin.
Interval offset applied on top of the tracked pitch, in semitones.
