OVERVIEW
The Moog MF-107 "Freqbox" is very different from any of the previous Moogerfooger effects boxes (or other effects boxes in general). Rather than simply processing the original input sound, the input signal actually modulates an internal oscillator. This creates totally rich, unique and unusual sounds from any type of signal - guitars, synths, drum machines, vocals, etc.
FEATURES
The "Freqbox" contains a VCO with continuously variable waveshape that can be modulated in the following ways:
- the VCO can be hard synced by the input signal
- the VCO can be frequency modulated (FM) by the input signal
- the 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 cycle can be reset by another. FM is a technique used to get really rich sounds (from gong or bell-like tones to sizzly sweeps) from simple waveforms. The FreqBox 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.
