I made a video about 6 months comparing the ClusterFlux to the my old ADA Flanger with the MN3010 BBD chip.
What I really like about the ADA is the delay time and LFO rate.
In the video I showed how the ADA has a (delay time) range of 5 octaves (C to C), and that the ClusterFlux has a delay time of 4 octaves (G to G). The ADA is both lower and higher in pitch through its center frequency (delay time) control.
Questions:
Is there a trimpot inside this MoogerFooger that would allow me to expand the range of the flanger?
Is there a trimpot inside the MF to expand make the LFO slower?
If there is not a trimpot, can it be modded by the manufacturer?
I’m not aware of any mods or trim pots that could do this. Have you tried controlling it with midi or a CP-251? I know it’s not exactly pedalboard friendly, but you can expand a lot of the Moogerfooger’s ranges using them.
I see three trimmers inside but I wouldn’t mess with them.
The suggestion to explore the range of CV is a good one, often (on Foogers), you’ll get a wider range than you get from panel pots alone and the 0..5V plus an offset of the potentiometer can only keep you within the safe range but will most likely get you to where you are looking to go.
The other option is Midi, there are piles of command (CC) that will put that thing into ultra low-fi range etc.
Thanks so far. I still hope that someone knows it this is possible without the use of external devices, because as noted, it’s taking up a lot of real estate: yet flanging is very important to me because I’m 80s like that.
I’m not interested in “lo-fi” sounds - and I certainly think of the ADA flanger as quiet hi-fi device even by today’s standards - I only want that extra over-the-top sound (yet not TZF) that the ADA flanger has. What the ADA flanger lacks (for me) are the Output Level and Mix controls that allow the ClusterFlux to tame even the wildest setting to allow the sounds to sit well in a mix.
I also ask because the Moog page says that it does make custom options, but doesn’t say a lot about what that entails or how much it costs. The modification I would like doesn’t seem so farfetched or difficult, but I’m a musicologist, not an electronics expert.
