Matriarch | Ring Modulation with Attenuators

While Matriarch may not initially seem like it has any ring modulators, its three attenuators can each be used to create ring modulation effects.
First, we introduce the basic concept of a ring modulator, how it works, and what kinds of effects it is typically used for. Then we introduce Matriarch’s attenuators, exploring how to use them as bipolar voltage-controlled attenuators and how to ring modulate Oscillator 1 with Oscillator 2. After exploring some of the different tonalities we can achieve using different waveforms and octave spacings, we finally utilize the exponential pitch CV inputs of the oscillator bank and the secondary LFO to create broadband ring modulation tones and wild spacey effects.

See it's these little gems + "hidden" niceties are the reason I hold the Matriarch in such high regard - it's such an immediately fun and amazing sounding synth, which gently hides worlds of exploration and sound design capabilities behind the wide variety of utilities on offer: seconds to enjoy, a lifetime to master.

90 patch points is not to be underestimated. A learning curve for sure so I can see how it be a turn off to some. or that it's not polyphonic (which I can understand at its price point - for someone not in the world to think "but my casio keyboard from Costco lets me play multiple notes at once") :).
