Strange Ring Mod Behavior - Heisenberg's LFO

Post by MoogProg » Mon Jan 28, 2019 12:51 pm

Not even sure how to describe this and might need to make a video, but here's the situation. Have Minifooger Ring Mod that operates just fine, until I approach the device, say reach out to adjust a knob. Once I get in proximity the Freq changes. Just bought a Moogerfooger Ring Mod and it does the same thing!

Is it perhaps me, or it is something about Ring Mods that interacts with the user. Something else? Bigfoot... probably Bigfoot. :?

Ha ha do laugh with me, please! But this is actually happening, and it seems quite odd. I can move the rate of the Moogerfooger LFO by a substantial amount just via proximity of a hand, almost as if it were a Theremin. As mentioned above, same thing more or less happens with the Minifooger Ring, so I'm baffled.

On the other hand, am using the Ring Mod LFO as an extra LFO for a Slim Phatty, so its irregularities are kind of a feature not a bug. 8)

Don't get me wrong: I find the way you described this very funny, but I'm not making fun of you :)

I have no idea why this happens, but you seem to find some use to it ;)

I agree with stiiiiiive, and find this hilarious in a very positive way!

Are you able to make a video? It might go viral and get you some pennies :wink:
