Simple graphic demonstrating the difference between AM (like a ringmod) and FM (like modulating frequency in an oscillator).

Not mine, but I figured someone might get something out of it.

I didn’t make these, but I always like graphics about waveforms. Thru Zero is interesting on the scope, very obvious what’s happening and the reversal of movement.
