Moog Moogerfooger Demo - "MF-101 Lowpass Filter" - Sweetwater

[PHOTONMANELECTROFACE]

Great video.  Much appreciation!

[DiederikYBaan]

Nice example, but that example with the drums or various other, a digital filter like abletons autofilter will do fine for such fx.

[DemonDanFisher]

@DiederikYBaan

Sure, but try modulating a digital filter with an LFO going at audio speeds. Or make it snap open and shut within a few milliseconds. Then you'll hear the difference.

[abar1204]

I WANT THIS BAD!!!!! now i know this is the filter john frusciante uses in his solo work!

[farris562]

at 3:17 the filter sound super sweet

[Vantage94]

Was it the low pass filter that made the ''frankenstein-sound''?

[idontknowwhattomakem]

If you use the expression pedal with this will it replace a wah pedal

[gopherbobz]

These are good videos keep doing them plz.

[triforcebandofficial]

im an analog snob lol

[themodularmodular]

Mr. Fisher, I've always enjoyed your videos, thank you!

[scoopdude1]

Thoroughly enjoyable video!!

[musiccalgary]

This thing can go above and below your hearing range... "You will not hear this thing" he says... Ha!

[hydrogxn]

this is a great video... the only one worth watching here... just ordered one from you guys yesterday!

[hydrogxn]

this is a great demo... the only one worth watching here.

[TheForeteller]

Ahhhh.......... the sheer joy of tweaking analogue.

[takenoprisoners90]

I'm still not sure how to use one of these but I effing want one.

[imababyshark]

@takenoprisoners90 it takes a while for you to learn these things... trust me, I am currently learning Reason's Thor, and I am tearing my hair out...the basic concept is pretty easy to grasp, filters, oscillators, ADSR envelopes etc... but when it comes to advance modulation synthesis and sequencing, with complex signal flows...

[cicciobarbara]

hi

i'm a DJ ... i can i use the filter ... they are mono!!! the decks are stereo!!!

thanks!!!

cccio

[paulhuiminlee]

Can you please explain how you're getting the bass line's filter to be modulated by the Kaossilator? How is it all connected?

[soapboxracer182]

i have been looking for something like this, a type of resonant filter to do exactly what you messing with the filter and resonance knobs. I know that with an expression pedal i can control the sweep or do the knob-messing with my foot. If i fed a phaser into the cv inputs, could the sweep of the phaser drive the sweep at a steady rate as if i was rocking back and forth consistently on an expression pedal?

Thanks, great demo btw real cool stuff from Moog

[caspergisselmann93]

goddam!!! thats just so freakin nice. thanks Daniel

[97036]

good demo, thanks

[yenrac17]

if i'm looking to get two moogerfoogers, what one should i get to go along side with a lowpass filter? ring modulator? freqbox? stage phaser?

[TheKirkYates]

cool job it sounds like

[dharmesha13]

hey come to my channel

to see a moogefooger low pass filter and expression pedal

with a cheap casio keyboard!

[ylju]

ONE OF THE GREATEST DEMOS OF A PRODUCT EVER........they should put you in charge of video demo quality control!.........well done

[esdlive2]

completely organic, u can even feel the electricity being bent over... gr8 stuff

[WokeUpScreaming]

Great Demo!

I play electric guitar for an indie rock electronica band.

I really want to buy the MF-101 to give that classic dancey 'opening up' sound to an intro riff to one of our songs.

I have found that the best way is to start with resonance full and cutoff at zero, and turn them in opositte directions, how does this sound with the mf-101, and could i control that with 2 expression pedals?

[unkellsam]

Nice demo, Fisher.

I'm thinking of getting one of these primarily to fatten up synths - but my main concern is that it is mono.

Any stereo solution?

Or can anyone recommend any stereo filters that can compare with the sound of this? I'm not really after a bunch of features so I'm not looking for a Sherman filterbank - what I really want is that rich moog-like sound - which I believe does come 70% from the filter and 27% from the oscillators (and 3% other).

Maybe a highpass as well...

[ToppervisionEnt]

Dude, you have truely got the dream job! Edgar Winter would be proud. Your demonstration was very well done. Of course after all this great analog stuff, such a thing would have to be recorded digitally. Do you notice a loss when you do so? Or is there a magic bitrate that captures it correctly?

[weaponEX]

Excellent video!! I could watch people discussing and demonstrating synths all day!

[subschool5]

wow dan fisher. i had a class with him at berklee.

[dharmesha13]

hey folks check out my video

ukulele+Moogerfooger LPF

[avassileiou]

cool sounds

[Rdot3000]

Can i have your job please...

[SynthBabe]

Its always great to have new gear, but couldnt a lot of the effects you produced using the MFs been recreated just using V.A.S.T.?

It would have been interesting to hear the difference between Kurzweils simulation of

an analog LPF with the MF-101. My guess is some slick programming would make any difference negligible for most

[TheDanielFisher]

Hi SynthBabe,

The answer is "Yeah, kinda'" The main issues are:

The VAST LowPass Filter can't self oscillate quite the same way as an analog filter.

The VAST Filters can't be overdriven in a musically pleasing way like analog.

The VAST LFOs start to alias at speeds faster than 8Hz.

While I love everything that Kurzweils can do, there are still a number of things that analog can do better (so far).

Try it yourself: Triangle LFO -> LP Filter with Resonance. Sweep Filter downward.

[DJTransval]

"I love cables!!" :D

Awesome demo!!

[dynosheep]

Anybody can produce a self-oscilator like these one, only need a pedal with stereo or direct output at the end of the pedalboard and fun.

[bigblubox]

I don't understand why so many people pronounce it mo.. there are 2 O's, it's "Moo" like "Too".. :)

[TheDanielFisher]

Hi bigblubox,

Dr. Robert Moog, who invented these cool toys, pronounced his name that way (rhymes with "vogue"). So it seems natural to pronounce his inventions the same way you'd pronounce his name.

But Bob was all about experimentation with sound, so feel free to come up with any pronunciation you like. The products will still work great regardless :-)

[thedh02]

i never knew how to pronounce moogerfooger till i saw this video.

[Capta1nHowdy]

you have a sweet job

[TheDanielFisher]

True! Not a workday goes by that I'm not grateful to work at Sweetwater. A building full of really sharp people who dig the same things you do is a great place to work.

That, and being surrounded by "toys", being visited and trained by the experts who make the toys, and meeting and helping lots of famous people who play the toys is kinda' like living at the North Pole ;-)

But the weather is a lot nicer in the Spring, Summer, and Fall.

[VanMocen]

only bad thing is, they make him drink SWEET WATER.. (drum hit) clap clap clap

[rlr41771]

When you ran the kaosilator and used the low pass filter to arpegiate the keyboard, what was the kaosilator running through?

[HerbertVeeblefester]

I think he says that the Kaoscillator is going into the MF-107 FreqBox. Then, the Env Out of that is driving the Cutoff Frequency of the MF-101

[rlr41771]

Cool, thanks!

[SWAC424]

how much are these moogerfoogers in America or Canada?

[wurlitzer78]

if you plug a real cheap basic keyboard into this will it still make realy cool sounds

[Superphilipp]

I am probably just being ignorant here, and I'm prefectly ready to accept that ....

... but what does all that playing around with sweeping "woosh" have to do with music? It seems more like the fun in this is playing around with gadgets rather than serving a melody or a rhythm.

[Chumleh]

He goes over a lot of the applications in this video, actually...

[pencildives]

It's an effect. You can use it however you want.

[almightydean]

@Superphilipp

Melody and rhythm are basic aspects of music. This pedal serves a more complex purpose, which is tone.

[romanowskistudios]

So, that's how Steve Miller did that on the "Book of Dreams" album.

[elpagna]

Really nice video, those Moogerfooger are amazing =)
