purpose. Or you can use expression pedals with equivalent specifications. See
the Technical Information section on Page 14 for more information on pedal
specifications.
When you plug an expression pedal into one of the pedal inputs on your MF-
103, the pedal adds to the effect of the corresponding control. For example,
let’s say that you plug an expression pedal into your MF-103’s AMOUNT input.
With the pedal all the way back, the amount of LFO signal that modulates the
sweep is set by the AMOUNT knob. Then, when you advance the pedal, the
modulation becomes stronger, just as if you turned the AMOUNT knob up. A
good rule to follow is: when you use an expression pedal, you set the
corresponding knob for the lowest value you want. Then, advancing the pedal
increases that value.
The expression pedal inputs can also be used as control signal inputs. This
enables you to use your MF-103 with virtually any control signal source: modular
analog synthesizers, MIDI-to-CV converters, etc. You will find information on
interfacing your MF-103 with external control signal sources in the Technical
Information section on Pages 14 and 15.
In addition to the four expression pedal inputs, your MF-103 has an LFO output
jack and a SWEEP IN jack. The LFO jack may be used as control or audio signal
sources to control other voltage-controlled devices, including other
moogerfooger analog effects modules. The amplitude of the LFO output signal
is independent of the setting of the AMOUNT control or pedal. The SWEEP IN jack
enables you to feed any audio or control signal to the second group of six
phase-shifting circuits. When you plug a regular two-conductor (mono) phone
plug into the SWEEP IN jack, the MF-103’s second phase shifting group is
disconnected from the LFO, and the signal from the phone plug goes in its
place. You can use this feature to impart two separate sweep motions to the
phaser effect when the MF-103 is in 12-stage mode.
SOME TYPICAL SETUPS
Here are just a few interesting setups to start off with. Experiment with all of
them. Try changing the knob settings with your hands. Then plug in one or more
expression pedals and try the same things with your feet.
Deep Phaser:
The combination of 12-stage phasing and strong resonance makes this setup
an all-around good choice for phattening up any music signal. Any of the
performance parameters can be controlled by pedal, with ‘good effect’.
