MOOG MOOGERFOOGER MF-107 FREQBOX.
The MF-107 FreqBox(tm) is different from other effects � the effected
sound is not a processed version of your input signal, but the sound of
the input signal modulating an internal oscillator. It contains a VCO
with continuously variable waveshape, and the capacity to modulate that
Oscillator in the following ways:
- VCO can be hard synced by the input signal
- VCO can be frequency modulated (FM) by the input signal
- VCO frequency can be modulated by an envelope follower which tracks the dynamics of the input signal
- The Amplitude of the VCO also tracks the dynamics of the input signal.
Hard
sync is a classic analog synthesis technique where the start of an
oscillator�s cycle can be reset by another. The oscillator being synced
takes on the frequency characteristics of the other oscillator, and
when its frequency is swept, it reinforces the harmonics of the
fundamental frequency. In the case of the FreqBox, the input signal is
used to reset the FreqBox�s VCO.
FM is a technique used to get really rich sounds from simple
waveforms. The type of FM used in the FreqBox is linear FM. Sounds
range from gong or bell-like tones to sizzly sweeps.
The FreqBox, like all moogerfoogers, works with any instrument
to line-level input. In addition to the panel controls there are
control inputs for use with expression pedals or control voltages and
control outputs for interconnecting moogerfoogers like you would a
modular synth.
The FreqBox can provide some really unusual processing to all
types of signals � guitars, synths, drum sounds, vocals or wind
instruments allowing you to enter previously unexplored sonic
territory.
FEATURES:
- FREQUENCY: Sets the frequency of the VCO.
- WAVE: Morphs the VCO waveform from Triangle to Sawtooth to Square to skinny pulse.
- SYNC On/Off: Enables/ Disables Hard sync of the VCO by the audio input signal.
- ENV AMOUNT: Sets the amount of modulation of the VCO frequency by the Envelope
Follower.
- FM AMOUNT: Sets the amount of frequency modulation of the VCO by the audio input signal.
- MIX: Sets the blend of input signal and VCO signal.
- DRIVE: Sets the input sensitivity and gain of the effect when active. Half to full drive amount adds overdrive.
- OUTPUL LEVEL: Sets the output level of the effect when active.
- BYPASS SWITCH: Bypass LED is red when effect is off, and green when
effect is on. The MF-107 uses a high quality buffered bypass � when in
bypass, the input is disconnected from the effects� electronics.
JACK PANEL FEATURES:
- INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS: Connections are on �� jacks.
- AUDIO INPUT: accepts instrument level to line level inputs.
- FREQ: Accepts EP-1 expression pedal, or -5 to +5V Control Voltage to
set the frequency of the VCO. Input voltage is added to position of the
front panel Frequency control.
- WAVE: Accepts EP-1 expression pedal, or -5 to +5V Control Voltage to
set the waveform of the VCO. Input voltage is added to position of the
front panel Wave control.
- ENV AMT: Accepts EP-1 expression pedal, or 0 to +5V Control Voltage
to set the amount of envelope follower modulation of the VCO frequency.
Input voltage is added to position of the front panel Env. Amount
control.
- FM AMT: Accepts EP-1 expression pedal, or 0 to +5V Control Voltage to
set the amount of frequency modulation of the VCO by the audio input.
Input voltage is added to position of the front panel FM Amount control.
- MIX: Accepts EP-1 expression pedal, or 0 to +5V Control Voltage to
set the waveform of the VCO. Input voltage is added to position of the
front panel Mix control.
- AUDIO OUT: Supplies the output signal.
- ENV OUT: Outputs the unconditioned Envelope Follower Control Voltage signal.
- OSC OUT: Outputs the wave-shaped VCO signal as a +/-2.5V Control Voltage signal.
