Welcome to the world of moogerfooger® Analog Effects

Modules. Your Model MF-107 FreqBox™ is a rugged,

professional-quality instrument, designed to be equally at home on

stage or in the studio. Its great sound comes from the state-of-the-

art analog circuitry, designed and built by the folks at Moog Music

in Asheville, NC.

Your MF-107 FreqBox is a direct descendent of the original

modular Moog® synthesizers. It contains several complete

modular synth functions: a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)

with variable waveshape, capable of being hard synced and

frequency modulated by the audio input, and an envelope follower

which allows the dynamics of the input signal to modulate the

frequency of the VCO. In addition the amplitude of the VCO is

controlled by the dynamics of the input signal, and the VCO can

be mixed with the audio input. All performance parameters are

voltage-controllable, which means that you can use expression

pedals, MIDI-to-CV converter, or any other source of control

voltages to 'play' your MF-107. Control voltage outputs mean

that the MF-107 can be used with other moogerfoogers or voltage

controlled devices like the Minimoog Voyager® or Little Phatty®

synthesizers.

While you can use it on the floor as a conventional effects box,

your MF-107 FreqBox is much more versatile and its sound

quality is higher than the single fixed function "stomp boxes" that

you may be accustomed to. You will find that your FreqBox is a

deep musical resource. It will give you an amazing variety of new

sounds and will become your creative companion as you explore

its functions.

This manual begins with a "quick start" section that will get you

started without reading the whole manual – certainly a new device

must be used right away! Keep in mind that the MF-107 FreqBox

is a complex device, so we recommend you read and understand
