ADVANCED APPLICATIONS

Using w/ other effects

The FreqBox is a natural for using with other effects. It is the perfect type

of signal to run into a filter, because it can produce the basic waveforms

used for subtractive synthesis. Filter effects include the MF-101 Lowpass

Filter, the MF-103 12-Stage Phaser, and the MF-105 MuRF (Multiple

Resonant Filter Array). A MF-104 Analog Delay is also a good choice, as

it has some really nice filter characteristics and delay can really fatten up

the VCO sound. If you find the FreqBox to be too dynamically sensitive

for your style of playing, or too dynamically sensitive to your instrument,

try putting a distortion device or compressor before the FreqBox.

This will have the effect of compressing the FreqBox VCO as well as

providing more sustain.

Using the FreqBox with a MF-101 Lowpass Filter

Envelope SyncFilter.

Figure 15 - Envelope Sync Filter

This setup uses a FreqBox and a MF-101 Lowpass Filter.. This setup

is the same as the AutoSyncSweep on the FreqBox, with the MF-101

also setup to respond to your playing dynamics with its own envelope

follower. This is a really fun and funky sound to play with if you have a

sound with a sharp attack and quick decay like a plucked guitar string.
