Moog expression pedal and Little Phatty

Hi all

I’m thinking of getting myself a Moog expression pedal to control my new MF107 Freq Box. I was just wondering whether its possible to somehow plug the expression pedal straight into the Little Phatty to contral say the Mod wheel?

Thanks

Andrew

You can connect an expression pedal into the CV-ins the Little Phatty holds, i.e. Keyboard Gate (which may be useless), Amp and Filter as far as I remember.

Don’t forget pitch

The 3 places where an EP-2 will be useful include:

  1. Vol CV
  2. Filter CV
  3. Pitch CV, the later of which isn’t really very useful unless you hook up a ribbon controller; from a pedal perspective, only the first 2 are really practical.

The KB Gate jack will accept a gate ‘signal’ which is a specific pulse/square wave of voltage, or a simple switch, such as the inexpensive foot/sustain switch that you can pick up at Guitar center (I think Moog sells one also).

I hope this helps (check out the manual which is online, I think it gives examples of this).

Hi AmArsch!

yeah the expr.pedal is really cool.
if you play a guitar through the phatty you have super-smooth wah wah.
