Ringotron vs Video
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Ringotron
This app offers advanced control over ring modulation effects for sound design and audio processing. Its multi-band design allows precise manipulation of the audio spectrum, with a special soft mode to reduce unwanted intermodulation. It can also function as a resonant filter that smoothly transitions into a ring modulator.
- Parallel ring modulator units
- Stereo separation control
- Ultra-narrow band resonance
- Ribbon controls for frequencies
- Modulation system for band centers
- Tempo syncing for oscillators
- Soft limiter and clipper

Ringotron allows taming the strong transformational effects of traditional ring modulation, opening up a wider range of possibilities in sound design and audio FX. Its multi-band design enables fine control over which parts of the spectrum will be transformed by the effect. A special soft mode is available that borrows concepts from feedback modeling, which can be used to reduce intermodulation effects that are often a limiting factor in the more general applicability of ring modulators. In addition to the layers of control they provide, combination of these core features also allows the plugin to act as a stereo, multi-peak resonant filter that can also smoothly morph into a ring modulator. FEATURES: • 2 parallel ring modulator units (max. modulator frequency: 8 kHz) • Stereo separation can be added to band center, mod. frequency, mod. phase • Ultra-narrow bands can be used to create highly resonant sounds • 4 large ribbon controls for band center and modulator frequencies • Band center frequencies can be modulated by the built-in modulation system • Tempo syncing can be independently configured for each oscillator • Built-in soft limiter and clipper to protect against volume spikes IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The plugin comes with a zero-latency, non-brickwall soft limiter, and as such, its stopping power is limited. Make sure to always leave enough headroom or use an external brickwall limiter for total protection against powerful transients. Alternatively, a built-in soft clipper is also available. PLEASE NOTE: • AUv3-compatible host app is required • Suported sampling rates: 44.1, 48, 96 kHz

Transform visual content into sound. Video -> Sound is an artistic experimentation lab that analyzes your videos to extract synthetic, random sounds that are rigorously synchronized with the image. The algorithm reacts to the video feed to compose procedural soundscapes, making each playback unique. Designed for artists, designers, and the curious, this tool is a completely free playground, created to explore the boundaries between the generative and the sensory.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Video at Free against Ringotron's $12.99. Ringotron's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
