most useful fooger...

Maskin,
You know Ive found that My delay doesn't exactly work perfectly with bass notes but shines in the highs, until I get in the extreme upper register (like the last octave of so on the rhodes) which it doesn't do that well.

You're right, with low basses it doesn't work very well either but that is due to lack of harmonic content. With high registers it seems to filter the sound quite a lot.

I really like the MF-104z delay. Great sounding BBD delay. I made a small demo of it, and you can hear a little how the unit handles some high and low notes. Please excuse the bad playing.

Due to the MF-104 using BBD chips, it will not properly output very high or low frequencies. If you need a pristine delay, go digital.

Hi , i cast another vote for the Cp-251, i have a stage 1 bought last year and just bought a 251, along with a freqbox and a murf. slightly on topic, i would also like to see a field install cv upgrade kit for the LP. , but until then, i just finished assembling a Paia midi2cv8 midi- cv converter kit $184 ( half of the 1u rack version), and it spits out cv, gate, trig, mod wheel data, pitch wheel data, and attack velocity (all transmitted by the LP) It also has jacks for aftertouch and release velocity, but the LP doesn't send this info. The pitch bend voltage must be divided down to a desired semitone interval, but i don't use it for pitch, a spring loaded wheel just for a gate/trigger voltage is great. Compare this with the voyager + 351 and you're only missing out on a few cv ins an outs . different animal, but for control purposes, you can still achieve KB gate triggered S/H, use the LP's arpeggiator to also trigger the freqbox, while sending a trigger voltge to a polysynth's arpeggiator analog clock input, which is then fed to a murf, receiving lfo clock signals from the 251, and other modular goodness that goes on for days with well chosen, key pieces of moog gear. I mention the paia kit, as the other cv converters on par with what it can do cost 3 times as much. but nothing would beat sending my LP's back panel to the factory to be punched with a D-sub 25 pin connector, which i could wire up to a LP break out box. (VX-353 anyone?) I don't have PWM cv in yet...

one other thing about the aforementioned midi2cv8, it is spitting out a range of 0-10v, which is no big deal for cv pitch, as it's 1v/oct anyway, and it can transpose to the lowest note on the lp on reset. but for the gate signals, mod, trig... you really want to attenuate those down to 0-5 volts with a spare set on the cp-251 or a home made attenuator. It's kind of the best of both worlds, if you plan on augmenting with a euro/frac-rac modular, then it's already spitting out that formats voltage, then you only have to attenuate when coming back into the LP or more likely, other moogerfoogers. Just be sure to make a crap load of 1/8" to 1/4" trs cables (omitting the ring), or on an external attenuator/ mult box, make the ins 1/8" and the outs 1/4". whew. i just got this system up an running last week and it's blowing my mind. thought i'd share.

Thanks for all that info Tri5onaut! Great stuff, I know!

Although they're the most expensive 'foogers around, I fully recommend getting the 104z delay. It puts anything you run it through into a really special, classic sounding space. I actually picked up a 2nd one used, so now I can do all kinds of stereo stuff or whatever.

Obviously all the foogers are awesome. And get a CP-251... you won't regret it. Tons of fun... especially when you start adding multipule foogers to the mix...
