Hey im new here…just joined.
Ive read that the moog phaser can do dual LFOs/dual phasing.
How is that achieved exactly?
Im looking into purchasing one and there isnt a knob to control the second LFO rate…how is it done?
Pardon my ignorance.
Thanks.
Hi, plug an LFO into SWEEP IN (not SWEEP, as this is what the internal LFO does normally).
Switch to 12-stage mode and enjoy!
Its pretty fantastic sounding too! My friend made a biphase clone to the specs of the original mu-tron and I think the moog gets a little more expressive. The only down side is there’s only a shared sweep and res knob but seeing as the “bi-phasing” is more of a hidden feature I can’t complain
thanks for the info guys.
i just got a lovetone doppelganger v.2 thats quite unique and has GREAT dual phasing capabilities…why dont more phasers have this feature?
anyway im still curious about the moog phaser.
i’d be using it with guitar.
so…what other LFO would i have to plug in to the input to get dual phasing?
examples?
Until not too long ago, the main answer would have been the CP-251, a voltage control processor, nice to use with Moog synthesizers and foogers. But there’s a better option now, particularly well suited to guitar players using foogers : the MP-201.
4 lfos
4 envelope generators
4 expression pedals with extended range
midi-to-cv (very useful with a sequencer to feed your foogers with cv’s)
100 programmable presets to use anything of the above any way you like in up to four channels simultaneously, or 4 switchable individual channels.
wow that sounds pretty intense.
ill have to try that out one day.
though with the mp-201 and the phaser…thats like 800 bucks?
anyway, thanks again for the info guys, i appreciate it.
The initial cost of investment my seem high.
Keep in mind, the 201 is quite versitile as a controller.
Once you get it, it will open an entire new world of modulation.
It also is not limited to just the phase.
In a guiar rig, it will become the control headquarters.
The 103 phase is cool, it adds an LFO to the scene. Used with the 201, you really have some possibilities.
As soon as you begin to add other Moogers or other CV gear, the doors blow wide open and the 201 becomes more and more versitile.
Moog is an investment. They build life-long quailty products.
After awhile you will more or less forget that it cost a real pretty super shiny penny to get the equipment. You will find yourself enjoying the best gear on the planet.
.
You could buy a ringmod to use as an LFO, it has both an LFO, and another ocsillator, capable producing of low frequencies, which can be modulated by the LFO, also it is a ringmodulator, which can be used for some very nice tremolo or adding fullness or the teleportation of your guitar to space, and back . You could even use the LFO from the phaser to modulate the lfo of the ringmod, thus adding cohesion or oddity, due to their interactions.
Or, if you have any software that can route an LFO to the audio path, or if one of its oscillators goes down into LFO range, you can use the audio straight out of your computer as CV, like this:

You won’t get as wide a range as the CV from Moogerfoogers.
I still highly recommend the CP-251 though. It rocks.
can the MP-201 be used with my lovetone doppelganger?
or is it for moogerfoogers only?
CV is almost a universal language 
Check the ranges specified by the Lovetone. The MP-201 puts out -5 to +5V.
