1) i don't know if any of you have seen or tried this, but the EHX Microsynth has four filter sweep filters on it, two of them the start and end frequency filters. i'm just wondering what are the equivalent of these two functions on a moogerfooger low pass filter?
2) can an expression pedal control two settings at a time or do i need to buy two expression pedals to do that?
3) Can a moogerfooger low pass filter do this sound?

what kind of fuzz/etc would i need to get to accompany the low pass filter to do this type of sound?
thanks in advance!

Re: another moogerfooger low pass filter question!
an expression pedal connected to the mf-101 backpanel jacks can control the cutoff frequency, mix, resonance or envelope amount parameters, but only one at a time; i would recommend getting two (but in practice i often find myself jumping betwen my two expression pedals, a couple of volume pedals, and various switches, so adjust your desired level of complexity to taste). if you also have the cp-251, you can mult and mix any patch to either send signals to different destinations, or combine signals from different sources (among many other things); this would allow the kind of flexibility you're talking about with just one pedal. the addition of a cp-251 to my setup has opened up many new possibilities, of which so far i've really only scratched the surface.Deke wrote:2) can an expression pedal control two settings at a time or do i need to buy two expression pedals to do that?

This can be done with one pedal, but a passive multiple must be used.can an expression pedal control two settings at a time or do i need to buy two expression pedals to do that?

to use the CP to combine signals and whatnot, would it a) be practicle with a guitar setup and b) is it exclusively only for the moogerfoogers or can i use different pedals like a MXR phase 90?lg wrote:an expression pedal connected to the mf-101 backpanel jacks can control the cutoff frequency, mix, resonance or envelope amount parameters, but only one at a time; i would recommend getting two (but in practice i often find myself jumping betwen my two expression pedals, a couple of volume pedals, and various switches, so adjust your desired level of complexity to taste). if you also have the cp-251, you can mult and mix any patch to either send signals to different destinations, or combine signals from different sources (among many other things); this would allow the kind of flexibility you're talking about with just one pedal. the addition of a cp-251 to my setup has opened up many new possibilities, of which so far i've really only scratched the surface.Deke wrote:2) can an expression pedal control two settings at a time or do i need to buy two expression pedals to do that?
Re: another moogerfooger low pass filter question!
practicality for guitar all depends on the degree to which you are comfortable with lots of pieces of kit & cable lying around. i.e., i find for my playing i like to have most of my pedals on a table in front of me, so it presupposes not having a 'typical' guitarist's rig: pedalboard on the floor, rack-mount gear behind you next to amp, etc.; keep in mind the idea behind this gear is to 'play' it, rather than set it and forget it (although there are definitely patches using the 251 that are interesting enough to do that with). the 251 requires patch cords, thus having it on the floor is ergonomically not optimal. having said that, i think the 251 in combo with other foogers is a great addition to a guitarist's repertoire, as the units seem to have been designed with guitarists in mind (i think you become a sort of hybrid player- part guitarist, part modular synthesist).Deke wrote:to use the CP to combine signals and whatnot, would it a) be practicle with a guitar setup and b) is it exclusively only for the moogerfoogers or can i use different pedals like a MXR phase 90?
the only thing i've noticed so far with the 251 is that i spend a lot of time both patching and re-patching (and subsequently twirling knobs with my newfound discoveries). unless you play (or record) solo, you may alienate your bandmates (not always a bad thing!), if they aren't of similar knob-twirling bent. i play with someone who also has cv-controlled gear, so we are working on ways to 'infect/inflect' each other's playing via the 251...
you can't use the 251 directly with non-cv controlled pedals (like an mxr phase 90), although you can certainly use standard pedals in the signal chain before and after your foogers, and the resulting signals will be affected by the 251's interaction with your cv gear. hopefully that makes sense...
