Key:
RED arrows indicate path of Tone 1 (or 3) (See Tone structure)
BLUE arrows indicate path of Tone 2 (or 4) (See Tone structure)
PURPLE and DARK BLUE arrows indicate path of combined signals from Tones 1 and 2 (or 3 and 4).
"WG" = Wave Generator (See Pitch envelope)
"TVF" = Time-Varient Filter (See TVF (Time Variant Filter) envelope)
"TVA" = Time-Varient Amplifier (See TVA (Time Variant Amplifier) envelope)

Structure 6 (above) is the same as structure 5 except that Tone 2's WG signal is also fed directly to Tone 1's TVF along with the altered signal of both Tone 1's TVA and Tone 2's WG from the ring modulator. In this way, both the altered signal from the ring modulator and Tone 2's original WG signal can be mixed into Tone 1's filter so the original harmonics of Tone 1's WG can be heard unaltered by the ring modulator.

Note that the filters from Tone 1 and Tone 2 are not connected in series (as they are in structure 5) after the ring modulator meaning that the altered signal from the ring modulator can only have a cutoff curve of -12 dB per octave.
(Copyright 1998, Nathan Sheldon). Structure 8 (above) is almost like structure 7, but for the added signal from Tone 2's WG to its TVF along with the ring modulators signal. Similar to structure 6, it allows Tone 2's WG signal, unaltered, to be mixed with the altered signal of the ring modulator.
(Copyright 1998, Nathan Sheldon). Unlike any of the other structures, structure 9, demonstrated here, allows the filtering of both Tone 1's and Tone 2's WG signal before entering the ring modulator.
(Copyright 1998, Nathan Sheldon). Structure 10, shown here, has the same properties as structure 9 except that Tone 2's TVF signal is also sent directly to its TVA for mixing with the ring modulator's signal.
