EXPRESSION PEDALS AND VOLTAGE CONTROL

You now know what each of the rotary controls does to the sound

of the MF-105M. The ENVELOPE, MIX, and RATE controls have

expression pedal/control inputs that duplicate their effects. In addition,

the MF-105M has a LFO/SWEEP input which is used to adjust the speed

of the LFO, or to sweep the frequencies of the filters if the LFO switch is

OFF. This enables you to plug in up to four expression pedals to play the

MF-105M with your feet as well as with your hands. The moogerfooger

EP-2 Expression Pedal and MP-201 Multi-Pedal are both designed

for this purpose. You can also use expression pedals with equivalent

specifications. See the Technical Information section on Page 23 for

more information on pedal specifications.

When you plug an expression pedal into one of the pedal inputs on

your MF-105M, the pedal adds and subtracts half the range to the setting

of the corresponding control. For example, let’s say that you plug an

expression pedal into your MF-105M’s ENVELOPE input, with the

ENVELOPE control set to 5. With the pedal all the way in the heel

position, the Envelope shape is the same as if the ENVELOPE control

was set to zero. Then, when you advance the pedal, the Envelope shape

begins to morph, just as if you were turning the knob. At halfway, the

pedal equals the setting of the corresponding control, and at full toe

position, it is as if the control is at 10. A good rule to follow is: when

you use an expression pedal, you set the corresponding knob for the

middle value you want. From the middle of the pedal, advancing to toe

of the left and right outputs

when both the left and right

output jacks are used. Note

that the odd-numbered filters

are sent to the left channel,

and the even-numbered filters

are sent to the right channel.

This allows for spreading a

sound’s frequencies between

two speakers.
