Ring Modulator vs REXS

Ring modulation multiplies two signals together sample by sample. The result contains the sum and difference of their frequencies, the sidebands, while the original carrier and modulator tones are suppressed. This produces the metallic, bell-like, and clangorous inharmonic timbres associated with classic ring modulators, from robot voices to detuned percussion. Signal path: the carrier is multiplied by the modulator to form the wet signal, Mix blends that against the dry carrier, and Output applies a final makeup gain. Ring Modulator is usable in three modes and can take either mono or stereo inputs. The host app must support mixing to bus inputs or sidechaining in order to use Ring Modulator with dual input. Outputs mono signal. OSC + OSC Both carrier and modulator are internal sine oscillators, set by Car Freq and Mod Freq. Produces classic two-tone ring modulation with no input required, good for bell tones and metallic drones. INPUT + OSC The carrier is your track's audio and the modulator is the internal sine at Mod Freq. This is the standard ring-mod effect: it turns voices and instruments metallic or robotic and adds inharmonic sidebands. This is the default mode. INPUT + SIDECHAIN The carrier is the main input and the modulator is a second, independent input routed into the plugin's sidechain bus. Use it to ring-modulate one track by another, for example a vocal shaped by a drum loop or synth pad. This requires a host that supports sidechain routing; if nothing is routed to the sidechain, the input passes through dry. Car Freq and Mod Freq do not apply in this mode.

Is your EXS24 library locked inside Logic? Years of collected instruments — factory banks, purchased libraries, your own patches — and all of it only opens on a Mac with Logic installed. On your iPad, on stage, at a friend's studio: unreachable. REXS sets that library free. HOW IT WORKS • CONVERT IN ONE DRAG Drag an .exs file (or a whole folder) into the app. REXS reads the instrument, finds its audio files and writes a faithful SoundFont (.sf2) — zones, key ranges, velocity splits, loops, envelopes, tuning. Your original file is never touched. • IT FINDS THE SAMPLES BY ITSELF EXS24 instruments reference external audio that drifts around over the years. REXS searches the instrument's folder, its neighbors and the whole tree — and if something is still missing, it asks you to point at the folder and resolves the rest. WAV, AIFF and CAF (including ALAC). • BUILD THEMED BANKS Combine instruments from any number of sources into a single .sf2: check, drag to reorder, rename, generate. "My favorite pads" in one file, ready for any sampler. • EDIT THE SOUND AND HEAR IT INSTANTLY Adjust each preset's volume, pan, tuning, attack, release and filter with the built-in player: play the on-screen keyboard or connect your MIDI controller. Stack presets as layers and balance the mix. • AUv3 PLUG-IN IN YOUR DAW Converted instruments show up directly in AUM, GarageBand, Logic, Cubasis and any AUv3 host — nothing to export. WHY REXS IS DIFFERENT • 100% ON YOUR DEVICE No cloud upload. No account. No cookies. No trackers. Your libraries (many of which you PAID for) never leave your iPhone, iPad or Mac. • YOUR ORIGINALS ARE SACRED REXS never modifies or deletes your files. Conversion creates new files; your .exs and audio stay exactly where they were. • ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SURPRISES No subscription, no in-app purchase, no "pro" tier. What you buy is the entire app. • UNIVERSAL A single app for iPhone, iPad AND Mac. Buy on any device, install on the others for free. WHO IT'S FOR • Live keyboard players using an iPad on stage • Producers who switched machines and "lost" their library • Anyone who moved away from Logic and wants their sounds back • Sound designers recombining banks • Beatmakers digging through vintage instruments ABOUT THE FORMATS EXS24 is the format of Logic's sampler (now "Sampler"), used by thousands of commercial and free libraries since 1999. SoundFont 2 (.sf2) is an open standard from 1995, alive in hardware samplers, plug-ins and mobile apps. REXS reads the former and writes the latter respecting 100% of the spec. GET STARTED Drag an .exs in (or tap "Add EXS24 files" and point at a folder). Check the presets, name it, generate. That's it.
