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
