1. Unpack your Cluster Flux and gently tap the wooden side pieces of your
new moogerfooger to wake it up after the long journey to its new home.
2. Connect the instrument cable from your sound source to the AUDIO IN jack.
You can feed virtually any instrument or line-level signal through your MF-108M.
3. If you plan on using MIDI, connect a MIDI Cable from the out on the MIDI
controller of your choice to the MF-108M’s MIDI in.
NOTE: The Cluster Flux defaults to MIDI Channel one. Make sure your MIDI controller is
transmitting on MIDI Channel one.
4. Connect an instrument cable from the L/MONO Out jack to a line-level
input on your amp or mixer. Turn the volume control on your amp down but
not off.
5. Using the supplied power adapter, plug the cord into the +9V jack. Then
plug the power adapter itself into a power voltage receptacle.
Note: the CLUSTER FLUX requires a +9VDC rated for at least 300 mA. CENTER
POSITIVE power supply
6. Notice that the BYPASS LED is green. This indicates that the MF-108M’s
effect is on. Red indicates that the effect is OFF (bypassed). Make sure the
Cluster Flux effect is off by pressing the BYPASS switch before continuing.
7. Play your instrument (or signal source). Adjust the volume control on your
amplifier so the sound level is comfortable.
8. Set the MF-108M panel controls to the settings shown in figure 1 to explore
the Flanging effects of the Cluster Flux, or figure 2 to explore the Chorus
effects of the Cluster Flux.
9. Turn on the MF-108M and play your instrument at its maximum level. Set
the
DRIVE control so the DRIVE indicator lights up yellow with the peaks of
the input signal. Adjust the OUTPUT control so the Cluster Flux’s effected
signal is about the same loudness as the bypassed signal. You can also use
the
OUTPUT as a boost if you like.
10. Low-pitched, sustaining sounds with a bright timbre will work best to
learn the sounds of your new Cluster Flux. Because the Cluster Flux was
designed with far more range control than traditional Flanger and Chorus
devices, you will discover a much larger palette of tones and effects
