  • DESCRIPTION
  • DETAILED SPECS

The Moog MF-102 Moogerfooger Ring Modulator is a direct descendant of the original Moog modular synthesizers. It contains three complete modular functions: a ring modulator, a voltage-controlled carrier oscillator, and voltage-controlled dual-waveform LFO. 

A ring modulator produces sum and difference frequencies between the audio input and a carrier oscillator. The ring modulator's LFO can be used to modulate the carrier frequency. The moogerfooger ring modulator can create effects ranging from subtle tremolo to harmonically rich distortion, sweeps, swoops, and dive bombs. 

The moogerfooger ring modulator's control parameters are signal mix, carrier frequency, LFO rate, and LFO amount. All of the ring modulator. s parameters can be controlled with expression pedals or external control voltages as well as by rotary panel controls. Panel switches select LFO waveform and carrier frequency range. 1/4" jacks are provided for audio input and output, pedal/control inputs, carrier input, and carrier output.

Features

  • FREQUENCY - rotary control, which varies the carrier frequency over a six-octave range.
  • RATE - rotary control, which varies the LFO. s frequency from 0.1 Hz to 25 Hz.
  • LFO AMOUNT - rotary control, which adjusts the amount that the LFO output sweeps the carrier oscillator.
  • MIX - rotary control, which crossfades continuously from unmodulated to modulated audio.
  • DRIVE - rotary control, which adjusts the gain of the audio input.
  • SQUARE-SINE - rocker switch, which chooses the LFO waveform.
  • LO-HI -  rocker switch, which chooses between the low frequency carrier range (2 Hz to 130 Hz) and the high frequency carrier range (60 Hz to 4,000 Hz).
  • LEVEL - a three-color LED that is used to set the DRIVE control.
  • LFO - a LED that indicates the LFO rate.
  • BYPASS - a two-color LED that tells whether the ring modulator is on or bypassed.
  • ON/BYPASS - a rugged, smooth-acting stomp switch.

Jack Panel Features

  • AUDIO IN - 1/4" phone jack - accepts any instrument-level or line-level audio signal from -16 dBm to +4 dbm.
  • AUDIO OUT - 1/4" phone jack - -4 dBm nominal output level.
  • FREQUENCY, RATE, LFO AMOUNT, MIX -  all of which are stereo 1/4" jacks that accept moogerfooger EP1 (or equivalent) expression pedals, or control voltages from two-circuit or three-circuit 1/4" jacks.
  • AUX AUDIO IN - provides a means of applying an external signal to the ring modulator, in place of the carrier oscillator.
  • LFO OUT - jack - delivers the LFO voltage for use by other voltage-controlled devices.
  • CARRIER OUT - jack - delivers the carrier signal for use by other devices.
  • +9V POWER INPUT - jack - accepts standard 9 volt power adaptors (power adaptor included).
