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, which adds a “spacious” feel.

EXPRESSION PEDALS AND VOLTAGE CONTROL You now know what each of the rotary controls does to the

sound of the MF-105B. The ENVELOPE, MIX, and RATE controls have expression pedal/control inputs that duplicate their effects. In addition, the MF-105B has a LFO/SWEEP input which is used to adjust the speed of the LFO in Bank B patterns, or

to sweep the frequencies of the filters in Bank A patterns. This enables you to plug in up to four expression pedals to play the MF- 105B with your feet as well as with your hands. The moogerfooger EP-1 Expression Pedal is designed for this purpose. Or you can use expression pedals with equivalent specifications. See the Technical Information section on Page 17 for more information on pedal specifications.

When you plug an expression pedal into one of the pedal inputs on your MF-105B, 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-105B’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 position increases that value, pulling back to heel position decreases the value.

The expression pedal inputs can also be used as control voltage inputs. This enables you to use your MF-105B with virtually any control voltage source: modular analog synthesizers, MIDI-to- CV converters, etc. You will find information on interfacing your
