hello zoran,

when making the examples i was surprised about the different
sound of all the ring modulators, but most surprising was
that the a133 and the a114 sounded so similar.
the standard a114 and a133 had the softest and most mellow sound,
the real ring was the buzziest, and the blacet klangwerk was
the most versatile in terms of functionality and sound.
the digital ringmods from the clavia and reaktor 5 sounded
very crisp and hifi, they are both mathematically perfect over
the whole sampling frequency range, maybe that is why i like the
analogue ring modulators better.

best wishes

ingo
