Thread for MF-104M pics/recordings

[EMwhite]

Not yet but UPS says mine will be delivered today.

So I ask, what are folks most interested in:

- Pictures of inside (this is going to be a rack mounted, vs. pedal board mounted Fooger for me so pics are a few clicks away)
- Audio of anything in particular (time stretching with LFO)
- Sonic comparison to another delay (I have a Diamond ML2)
- Sonic comparison to 108M (not sure if this will be valid but I assume that at the shortest delay and longest 108 delay we may hear some similar effects?)
- Under the hood Midi feature demo
- Just play, maybe sync'ed with a drum track

I know "all of the above" is likely the answer but I don't have alot of time and to be honest, I'll be lucky if I can get home to sign for this today (UPS won't leave it in my bad neighborhood). So give me your choices, PM is fine also.

Anyway, I will edit this thread with pics and links to sounds as soon as I can.

My direct order from Moog is still in the status Processing



(what's your order status ?)

[EMwhite]

My status is. To be delivered today says UPS tracking number. In fact it's on the truck right now.

[namahshaman]

damn. mine still says processing too . . .

congratulations to you though. I'd like to see a video of you using it with a Moog synth, since that's what I'll be doing, ha.

In common between 108M, likely some of the design but it's certainly a different board with different components. Namely 4 x MN3008 and a whimsical cartoon picture of a few fireman handing buckets to each other ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD (topside). I love it.

Otherwise, you'll be interested to know that there are actually 2 additional circuit board points for another pair of MN3008s. And you might find some information on the net from people who have taken their MN3008 equipped DMMs and fitted them with MN3005 for twice the delay. Calibration and other work may be required. Unfortunately or fortunately, there is not much you can do on this board unless you are a brain surgeon and an electrical engineer wrapped up into one.

Here's a link to the original Panasonic data sheet in case you are interested: http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/galaxy/d ... mn3008.pdf

But I wanted to add that I had about an hour to play with it last night, Phatty Tribute into the Delay into my board and it sounds great. The Short and Long delay settings both sound great to me and the 800 ms. setting is definately an improvement over my 550ms Diamond.

Runs and tweaks with the feedback at 12 o'clock is especially pleasing. From a signal perspective, drive and output are both set to 12 o'clock and achieve unity gain with Mix fully CCW. Keeping it also at noon is perfect.

The LFO section is something I haven't quite played with, clearly it can go from subtle to extraterrestrial time and space warp. What I like most about this Fooger is that fact that it fits nicely into my rig, the controls are right where I expect them to be, and I know it will take a beating.

Somebody asked about whether or not the time warping works as it should (tweaking the delay time). And it does.

Pure analog delays (ones that contain no digital circuitry) clock the delay time directly and do not need circuits to convert toe taps to bpm or can convert midi clock with subdivisions, etc. Digitally CONTROLLED delays need to bridge the realm between digital and analog worlds and many a delay (such as the T-Rex replica, Seymour Duncan Deja Vu) quickly jump from one time setting to another. Not here. It's a smooth transition whether switching the rate or switching from short / long scale. Very nicely done.
