have you one of these for your moogerfooger?!?

i was searching the net and found these on ebay..anyone got one?...whats it like and does anyone the how to make ONE?!?

couldn't load the picture so here is the write up and link..

....Wouldn't it be great if you could create presets on your moogerfooger pedals? That is what the Automator Junior is all about. For instance you can foot-switch between two delay times, two phaser rates, depths etc....

First connect the Automator Jr. to any of the expression pedal/control voltage jacks on the moog pedal for the function you wish to control. Now simply set the lower value on the moog pedal (longer delay time, slower rate etc...) and the higher value on the Automator Jr. The foot-switch selects between the value set on the pedal and the value set on the automator. You can use as many Automator Jr. units as there are expression pedal control voltage inputs so you may want to get more than one.

The Automator Jr. has a much wider sweep than a typical volume pedal. It is possible to access extreme setting that aren't possible with the built in controls in some cases. (watch those tweeters kids). For instance when using the ring modulator it is possible to go from the tremolo sound (amplitude modulation) to the ring modulation sound which would normally require you to flip the rate switch.

Once you have tried it you won't want to use your moog pedals without it.

This is a custom controller pedal I designed for use with moog and moogerfooger pedals

here you go.

good idea!

these are great. very handy. I use it alot on the feedback jack on the delay or sometimes the resonance jack on my lpf. I made something like this with a stereo jack, spdt switch, one pot, and some cheap box I found at a thrift store.
Great idea!

Should make like 10 of them and put moment-dpdt's in them, switches only when you hold them down, so you can "play" them.

I have to try that. I have a few momentary switches sitting around. That's a great idea!

I know its probably an extremely simple circuit but any hopes for a quick & dirty layout with a pot value?

open an ev-5 and you'll see!

found this, but not really what we need, is it? what pot do you use for it? and i'm very curious how it ends up!

10k linear works great but it never hurt to experiment with different values.

What could be done to reduce the amount of sweep with a 10K pot?

wademalorgan · Post by **wademalorgan** » Wed Apr 25, 2007 3:22 pm

putting another pot or resistor in series with the 10k should allow you to reduce the sweep

depends where the sweet spot is...you can add resistors in series on both sides of the pot (wiper and one end) if the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle

think i'll make myself a whole board with like 10 jacks, pots and momentary spds-switches! i would be able to play it like a taurus!

could i connect 4 of those switches to for instance the freq.amount?

It'd be great to use a latching switch AND a momentary switch somehow so you could engage it permanently or while you play as you see fit.

nathan · Post by **nathan** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 7:00 pm

uhhm, could be me being dutch but what's a latching switch? a normal one?
in that case putting both in the circuit would be nice yes, but when using your feet it could be a hassle to stomp the right one. well, could be figured out.
like for instance left foot the normal spdt's and on the right the momentary.

...good idea!!
