Little phatty funky chameleon jam

Just a quick jam I recorded this morning.

All sounds are from the little phatty (except the drums). The little phatty is on the ‘calibration’ patch with basic settings and 2 saw oscillators, it’s then running into a MF-101 whose cutoff is being modulated by MF-102’s sine LFO.

Hi there.. Im loving your little funky jam! Is it possible to create this type of sound without the MF’s? I’ve had my LP about 2 months now and loving it! I’ve really want to inject some of this type of funkiness into my music :slight_smile:

Hey, thanks for the comment. I suppose it should be possible to get that sound straight from the LP. I think the main ‘funkiness’ comes from modulating the filter’s cutoff with a slow LFO. So that each time you trigger a short note the filter will be more or less open or closed compared to the previous note. So playing notes quickly creates a auto-wah type effect.

The reason I’m using moogerfoogers is that:

  1. The MF-101 sounds phatter to me than LP’s filter for some reason. Of course I’m running the entire audio signal into the MF-101 vs just the oscillator mix as is done inside the LP.
  2. The MF-102 gives me a sine LFO which definitely sounds smoother when modulating the filter cutoff. On the LP the closest equivalent would be the triangle LFO.
  3. I was also modulating the MF-102’s LFO rate by the MF-101’s envelope (this was very subtle though and can probably be done without). On the LP you can’t modulate the LFO rate.

But start off with a simple saw wave oscillator and apply a slow LFO to modulate the filter, then play around with the cutoff knob and see if you find the sound you want.

Good luck and thanks for watching!

Hi there.. Thanks for the advice i will definitely try that out. I think my next purchase will have to be the mf-102! Although if i bought one now the wife would kill me hehe :slight_smile: So im going to have to wait a little while, Since getting my LP i really want the foogers now! :smiley: Have you any music on soundcloud or anything if so it would be nice to have a listen! Keep rocking the funk man! You got it sounding lovely there :wink:
