Got the Cluster Flux last Monday, shot down to Ravenna and picked up a rack mount kit for it (half-priced!), and mounted everything up.
The rackmounts hold a total of 6 MoogerFoogers, and I've got 5.
So that one open spot on the rack is really fucking with my OCD about these kinds of things. Like now I gotta decide between a phaser or low-pass filter to fill the empty space. And whether I want to wait for another run of Lunar-faced Moogs to be built.
BTW, Moog is offering $50 rebates if you buy a MoogerFooger between now and the end of the year.
Just sayin'.
Oh yeah, the Cluster Flux sounds like buttah. At extreme LFO rate/amount/positive or negative feedback settings it does self-oscillation. Then you twist the time knob for really cool pitch-bending and BBD chip artifact effects. Does straight flanging and chorus too and can sound super thick or hollow. But the extreme settings on MoogerFoogers are where the real fun stuff begins.
In the pic, left to right/top to bottom
MF-104 Super Delay. Up to 2-1/2 seconds of BBD bliss. Time, Feedback amount, and Mix amount are all tweakable by control voltage. Flip between short and long delay times for speaker-damaging sub audio.
MF-107 FreqBox. Voltage-controlled oscillator with FM and envelope control. Haven't really figured this one out yet. It does what it does really well, just not sure if it's really musical or not. Make your P-Bass sound like a nasty gritty monosynth. Less is more with this pedal.
MF-102 Ring Modulator. Why do I keep hearing bells?
MF-108M Cluster Flux. Flanger/Chorus with CV control and MIDI control too. The single bummer of this pedal is no LFO CV outpout. Here they put this really cool LFO with sine, saw, square, ramp up, ramp down, and random output but you can only use it to control stuff on the pedal itself and not other MoogerFoogers. I'm hoping they'll offer a factory mod to add this feature at some point.
MF-105M MIDIMuRF. LFO-controlled resonant bandpass filters. A take on PT's filter tricks from the early 70's with a little different setup. PT's Arp's had 24dB/octave lowpass filters, while the MuRF has resonant bandpass filters that slightly overlap. By toggling the individual filter bands on and off and using the knobs to set volume the LFO creates animation by sweeping the filters. Slow LFO settings almost sound like phasing, and with the LFO off it does a slight envelope-controlled-sounding wah tone. At fast LFO settings it does rythmical emphasis to whatever filters are active and turned up. Think weird percolating sounds. Variable envelope follower too. From fast attack/slow release to slow attack/fast release.
VX-351 Control Voltage output expander for Voyager synth. 21 CV outputs from the Voyager and a couple mults and attenuators. Want keyboard pitch to control just about any parameter on a MoogerFooger? How about using the touch screen CV output to control mix or LFO amount? This is the setup.
CP-251 Control Voltage module. Includes a mixer for CV's, and an LFO, lead/lag for waveshaping, voltage inverter, noise output, and S&H. For combining control voltage signals to create complex waveforms for use as control voltages.
