I miss seeing audacious takes on pedals that bring some instant creativity without any menu diving. B* was supposed to clone it but as we know they speak a lot For once i’d find it legit now the pedal is discontinued and it doesn’t seem to have any hardware alternative.
Being pretty impossible to put my hands over the Moogerfooger MF-105S in a pedal version, I now wonder if it could be replicated somehow with an OT to affect a live input.
I don’t think we can come so close to a version as practical than the original but I kind of think something great could get out of this exercise.
Basically it is a multifilter pedal which can sequence rhythmically the input.
It has 8 bands of low pass resonant filters, a drive and an envelope LFO.
I’d use 4 THRU tracks, using either the filter or the EQ with various settings on FX1, an LFO with different speed on the amp volume, and some phaser on FX2 to get it in stereo.
A bit off topic (as not pertaining to how to do this with an OT) but if VSTs are an option you might not know that Moog has ported it as an official plugin. Which seems also available on iPad.
In the BASS voicing, the lowest filter acts as a lowpass filter with a cutoff frequency of 110 Hz. This is ideal for bass players or bass sounds that need to retain the presence of all their lowest frequencies. The remaining seven filters are resonant filters with center frequencies of 160, 240, 350, 525, 775, 1200 and 1800 Hz.
In the MIDS voicing, all 8 filters act as resonant filters with center frequencies of 200, 300, 450, 675, 1000, 1500, 2200, and 3400 Hz. The MIDS voicing is very good for processing sounds with dense mid- frequency harmonics, including guitars, vocals, or synthesizer pad sounds.
@Blasted_pingin I made something which seems a good start. I used different filter frequencies by ear, on 8 tracks.
It is much simpler with 8 tracks to start. After you defined frequencies, you can plock 2 different ones on 1 track, 1 filter.
This way you can reduce the tracks to 4, if you want 8 frequencies. Anyway you can choose less, increasing bandwidth.
OT have the particularity to have 2 resonant frequencies, you can play with that.
Are the filters in the MuRF in series or parallel? I think it’s parallel and their EGs trigger serially, but I’m going by memory from playing one years ago.
If the filters are in fact parallel, you’d need multiple OT tracks with filters, right? I think this sounds totally doable. I want to try too, but don’t have the real thing to compare to.
I’ve heard good things about the new-ish Moogerfooger plugins, but probably won’t be buying them
It’s a bank of 8 parallel fixed frequency bp filters with ad envelopes and relative level controls. And various sequences to play through the different bands by triggering the envelopes attached to the filters. Pretty wacky idea and sounds great.
3 saws from Hydrasynth through OT, 8 Thru with bandpass filter, 2 resonances, decay/vol control with crossfader. Mono.
OG seems stereo ! Have to work on frequencies too.
