The MF-102 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-contolled
dual-waveform LFO. It can be used to process any instrument-level to
line-level signal.
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, gong-like sounds, sweeps,
swoops, and divebombs. It can be subtle, or outlandish in it's use -
you decide!
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 by the great feeling
knobs that beg to be tweaked as well as with expression pedals or
external control voltages. Panel switches LFO waveform and carrier
frequency range. 1/4" jacks are provided for audio input and output,
pedal/control inputs, carrier input and carrier output. The heavy-duty
yet smooth acting bypass switch allows tabletop or floor use.
Imagine
that the ring modulator's carrier oscillator is producing a 500 Hz sine
wave, and your input signal is a 100 Hz sine wave. The ring modulator's
output will be a complex waveform. You will hear two pitches: 400 Hz
and 600 Hz. You will not hear your original input or the carrier
oscillator.
Power supply is included: order 110v for use in US or Canada or 220v for use in Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia.
