Multiple Moogerfooger chains?

Post by apropos of nothing » Wed Nov 02, 2005 6:06 pm

Just recently picked up the Moogerfooger ring-mod. In addition to it, I have the lowpass filter. The two of them together form a little baby modular synth. Pretty awesome.

I've been playing with doing some routing between them. One of my faves is splitting the signal-to-be-effected into both of them, and using only the env-out from the LPF and routing that to the frequency of the carrier signal on the ring-mod.

I've also done some experiments with using the env-out off of LPF to control effects parameters on a digital signal processor I have that has a CV input, which is kinda hysterical.

Anyone else using Moogerfoogers? Cool routings?

I kinda really want an Analog delay -- the fact that it has a send/return on the wet signal is pretty hep.

CV = voltage

audio = voltage

voltage = modulation source :D

CV rules

Audio through mic pre= MORE juice. I have gotten things to track in totally insane ways just gaining up audio like crazy and blasting it into CV inputs on various thingies...

Also, getting arpeggiator type of responses with a delay into a mic pre on a click track sent into CV inputs....

Hmm. I've meant to find out more about that.

The range of CV on the Moogerfoogers is 05v. Am I likely to blow anything up by running audio signals into CV inputs?

Hey, it's pscottm!

My bandmate is getting the rackmount kit with I think the delay, the filter, and the murf. We will be fucking up some sounds live, I can tell you. Will report.

No routing info here, but the guitar player in my band has all of the Mooger Frooger pedals including their newer delay. Pure insanity! I can not wait untill we start mixing our recording so we can torture some sounds. Mooger Froogers and weed = funtimes.
I know enough to know that I don't know what I am doing.

Eh?

Realized that I meant to type 0-5v.

What is the range of audio signals in voltage?

Murf didn't strike me as super-useful at first, cuz I was thinking of it as a series of low-pass filters. But it ain't -- its a series of fixed filters. Fixed filters have been really intriguing to me recently. I may end up with one. The enveloping is also kinda funky and weird, and not like much else.

+4 is 1.23 volts. Thats what i meant, sarcastically. You wont blow anything up...

It seems to me a lot like a Seek Wah, but we'll see.

Good to know! Thanks!

Hmmm. May have to play with using audio as frequency-CV. Audio FM, woohoo!

The click track/delay as arpeggiator has been one of my favorites for a while.

Check out the keyboard thingy (CS-15 is what I used) in the song "leaving" here:

This is the other synth I was rocking with click track as CV from a mic pre...

The raw circuit board to the left is a custom Tube three band optical EQ with an 8 step analog sequencer to modulate the mid frequency....

The console synth thing the right is made by a guy here in the 'hood named Brian Dewan. He is amazing. He is making a couple of models now. This one is the prototype, simply called the "model A."

i picked up the murf pedal about 3 weeks ago. very cool and lots of interesting sounds, tremelos, sci-fi gurgling, octave like stuff, etc etc etc. i'm probably just dense but even though i know what each of the controls do i still have no idea what the hell it will actually sound like until i actually hear it! i love it! 8)
"well, it's one louder, isn't it...."
