Moog Music MF-101 Lowpass Filter - Manual (Page 2)

Welcome to the world of moogerfooger® Analog Effects Modules! Your Model MF-
101 Lowpass Filter is a rugged, professional-quality instrument, designed to be equally
at home on stage or in the studio. Its great sound and classic effects come from the
state-of-the-art all-analog circuitry, designed and built under Bob Moog's personal
direction.
Your MF-101 is a direct descendent of the original modular Moog™ synthesizers. It
contains two complete modular functions: a Voltage-Controlled Lowpass Filter and an
Envelope Follower. 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-101.
While you can use it on the floor as a conventional effects box, your MF-101 is much
more versatile and its sound quality is higher than the single fixed function "stomp
boxes" that you're probably accustomed to. You will find that your MF-101 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.
The following pages will first tell you how to hook up your MF-101 and set the panel
controls for the 'basic' setup. Next, we'll explain how the modular functions in your MF-
101 work. After that we'll give you some suggestions on how to use your MF-101 in
specific applications. At the end of this booklet you'll find technical specifications,
service and warranty information.
GETTING STARTED
Here are some simple instructions on how you can quickly plug in and try out your MF-
101.
1. Unpack your MF-101. You can place it on a table or on the floor. We suggest that
you place it on a table while you become familiar with its features.
2. Check that the power adaptor is rated at your country's standard power voltage (120
volts A.C. for the United States and Canada; 100 volts AC for Japan; and 220 volts A.C.
for most other countries). Plug the power adaptor's cord into the MF-101's '+9V' jack.
Then plug the power adaptor itself into a power voltage receptacle.
