Two questions about the Freqbox - OSC direct out

The Moog Forum Moogerfooger Forum
1

  • Is it safe to treat the OSC CV output as a normal audio signal, and send it to a normal input on a normal audio interface?
    It doesnt burn up the input after a few weeks or something??? :neutral_face:

  • Is the signal identical to the audio output pre-VCA..?

2

Its a pretty hot (loud) constant signal so you probably should put some sort of attenuator , or vca or volume pedal to prevent the freq from peaking and clipping your interface

3

So there is no real danger of damaging any gear?
Just a clipping-issue??

I don’t think you should damage anything with OSC Out – sometimes I put it straight back in to my Freqbox’s Audio In, and all’s well (so far at least :wink:

Thanks..

Re-routed my whole setup today..

Freq volume output at 50%.
Interface input level in the yellow-zone..

No clipping.
Works perfect..
All good… :smiley:
