Just recieved my MF-101 and love it. What should I get next?
Ha, that’s any easy one.
Definitly a Voyager!
Would anyone else disagree?
I was thinking more along the lines of the MF-102 or the CP-251… The MF-101 has me wanting to do nothing but play my guitar all day! Expression pedal is on the way.
i picked up the phaser after the 101. with the lfo on it alone you’ll get tons of milage between the two.
I’d get the Ring Mod. Not only do you get both a square and triangle LFO for modulation, but you get the carrier to use as a mod and audio source.
i can understand the awsome qualities of the moogerfoogers since i’m a Mf-101 user but…
Once i plugged my Les Paul into my Voyager input all else was secondary!
Sell your car and you will not be disapointed. It is more than you can imagine!
The Ring Mod is what I would get next. Like the above post said, you get the LFOs. Besides getting crazy RM bell tones, at slower speeds the MF 102 produces a very nice and useful tremelo.
ring mod is dope. extremely lush & warm tremolos… + lots of weird atonal bells & gongs…
What should I get next?
get a haircut you freak!!!
Realy, it depends on what you already own and your style of playing. If I were to put them in order of coolness, it would be:
Delay 1004z. (but remember you NEED more effects {moog} to use the loop)
MuRF
Ring Mod.
Since you already own the filter, I don’t think you will be disappointed with the Moog RM. It can easily do outer space stuff. I use 2 of them. {2 MuRF and delay as well}
if you’ve got the cash, i recommend picking up the delay. thing is amazing, especially with my guitar. i only had digital delays before and never understood why i always heard people talk up analogue delays, then i got a 104 and my eyes were opened…
for less money the ring mod is really good. you get more cv options to hook up the two pedals together. having all the crazy gong sounds and the really mellow tremolo is neat too, more versatility.
i don’t really think you could go wrong with any of the pedals though
Hi
Fine in here… 
I need some helpin hand. I played my first moog in the early eighties. I never heard of Moogerfoogers those days. I sold it in the late eighties. Now I bought another one: Minimoog Modell D. What could be the best Moogerfooger to start with? Definitely I am not interested in delays, but in modulating the sound. Can anybody help?

Like I said above, I’m a sucker for the Ring Modulator.
Mark -
Not to hijack the topic here, but nice job on the Moog DVD! Great to see all the products demostrated with some depth, and Brian seems like a pretty cool guy.
Was wondering about the audio though - was there a reason for not using a wireless mic on Brian? Lot’s of dropouts when he turned away from the stationary mic. Didn’t keep me from enjoying it, however. 
Back on topic: Like you, I’m a big fan of the Ring Mod, and would recommend it to anyone, but especially to Voyager owners.

There was a reason for not using a wireless lavalier, but for the life of me, I can’t remember what it was. Perhaps the ambient sound level, I just don’t remember because we shot that back in the fall. I had two lavs with me. That was a fun gig. It was shot at the Orange Peel in Asheville in front of an audience, and the sound system was huge and fantastic. The instruments were very loud. When Brian hit that first bass note on the Voyager, the place shook. My 20-pound camera’s viewfinder started shaking violently, and I was worried that the vibrations were going to effect the video. Yes, Brian is a great and personable guy. In fact, everyone I met at Moog Music was incredibly nice. A tip of the hat to Jared White in marketing.
Yes, The Ring Mod is such a versatile tool. It’s good to see it addressed on Squarewave. I would like to see other people’s creative uses of it.
How about future retro’s new deal:

Would you mind going into more detail on this? How does it work to plug a guitar into the Voyager? I’d of thought you would need some kind of pitch-to-midi thing to drive the note generation capabilities. Your post implies something different and sounds very interesting.
Thanks!

Michael,
The Voyager has an single input which can accept both line and instrument level signals. The input signal is then processed, alongside the Voyager’s three oscillators and noise source, by the Voyager’s dual filters and envelope generators. Any modulation/animation applied to the filters will affect the sound of these signals (This is the Cool part of the experience).
Based on your question, it should be noted that the input, a guitar in your case, will not control the Voyager’s osillators. As such, the input merely adds another tone alonside the Voyager’s internal sound generators in its mixer section.
In fact, if you turn off the three oscillators and the noise source in the mixer section, the Voyager can be thought of as an expensive Fooger with dual filters and lots of modulation possibilities.
I hope this helps!
Cheers
BTW, I’m a guitar player who happens to be addicted to synthesizers. A couple of Foogers and a CP-251 can give a guitar player a whole lot of joy for a lot less than the price of a Voyager.

Yes, your post clarified things for me. Thanks for your reply.

This is the direction I’m heading. First I bought a 103, then a 101. Now I’ve ordered a 251.
Recently, I got sort of a wild idea, though. Since I already have a midi-guitar rig (Roland GI-20 + an RMC pickup mounted in an old Hamer Special), I ordered a kit from PAIA electronics that does midi-to-CV. I figure I’ll take the analog output of the GI-20 and feed it into the MF audio signal chain and use the midi output (suitably converted to CV signals) to drive the MF signal chain. As I build up more-and-more MF boxes, I think that I ought to be able to do some interesting things with the sound. I will probably do the 102 and the Murf next, but I’ve got to watch my budget for a month or two after the 251 and the midi2cv box.
I started a separate Moogerfooger thread on this but haven’t gotten a lot of response. I also posted a query on the yahoo midi guitar list and got sort of a mixture of incredulity and yawn for a response.
Regards,
Michael Glaviano
