Analog stereo filter with built-in step sequencer, a sounding digital FX chip, 2 x LFOs and envelope modulation

Review: The Jomox Moonwind is a true analog stereo filter with built-in step sequencer, a fantastic sounding digital FX chip, 2 x LFOs and envelope modulation.

Everything is storable and controllable via MIDI. You can play the Moonwind like a synth by Midi notes and play melodies on the filters if they whistle in self-resonant mode.

The sequencer is able to control cutoff, Q and resonance per step and filter and thus turns the stereo filter with analog fed back effects into a creative instrument of its own.

This makes the Moonwind an easy-to-use and awesome analog sounding engine that is playable like a synth and can be seamlessly integrated into a DAW recording system.

Low and high pass analog Ladder filter module

Review: The Ladder is a Dynamic Transistor Ladder Filter that is based on Bob Moog's original ladder filter designs. Don't be fooled by its small size, The Ladder is a powerful and fantastic sound sculpting tool that allows for creative and unique sound shifting and shaping.

Within the filter, four decades of filter development come together, offering you the smoothest filtering to date. A classic Moog all-analog filter lets you select between high-pass and low-pass configurations: choose low-pass to add analog vibe and warmth to a sound or select high-pass for sweetening and relieving the heft of a sound. What's more, you can select from 2Pole and 4Pole modes (12dB or 24dB respectively), allowing you to set exactly how aggressive you want The Ladder's filtering to be, as well as dial in extra harmonic emphasis using the Resonance knob.

Beyond conventional 2 pole or 4-pole settings and cutoff controls, The Ladder lets you deeply define its character. First, you can perfectly define its attack and release: Pull back the attack and let The Ladder reshape your bass, or crank both settings to add bite to guitars, synths, or even drums. You also get positive and negative filtering modes, which lets you dial in anything from mild excitement to crazy reverse filtering. And to top it off, you can even push The Ladders resonance into self-oscillation for out-of-this-world Moog tone.

Moogerfooger series filter pedal

Review: The award-winning Moog MF-101 lowpass filter is a direct descendant of the original Moog modular synthesizers. It contains 2 complete modular functions: a voltage-controlled lowpass filter and an envelope follower. It can be used with any instrument-level to line level-signal.

The Moogerfooger filter's control parameters are signal mix, cutoff frequency, resonance amount and envelope amount. All of the lowpass filter's parameters can be controlled with expression pedals or external control voltages as well as by great feeling knobs which beg to be tweaked. Panel switches select filter mode and envelope follower speed. 1/4" jacks are provided for audio input and output, pedal/control inputs and envelope follower output. A heavy-duty, yet smooth-acting bypass switch allows tabletop or foot operation.

A lowpass filter removes high frequencies from a tone. It makes the tone sound more mellow or muted. The lower the Cutoff, the more muted the tone sounds. As it is pulled down, it cuts out the higher light, then the light from the middle of the window, then finally all the light. The MF-101 lowpass filter does the same sort of thing to the sound spectrum with its Cutoff Control. As you turn up the Resonance control, the overtones near the cutoff frequency are boosted.

The envelope follower tracks the loudness contour (envelope) of a sound and produces a voltage that follows the dynamics of your playing. Every time you play a note, the envelope voltage goes up and then down. The harder you play, the higher the envelope voltage goes. The envelope follower opens and closes the lowpass filter. Think of the envelope voltage as an invisible hand that turns the cutoff knob up and down every time you play a note. Since the envelope follows the dynamics of your instrument's signal, you actually play the filter as you play your instrument.

Ring modulator

Review: The MF-102 Ring Modulator is a direct descendant of the original Moog modular synthesizers. It contains 3 x complete modular functions: a ring modulator, a voltage-controlled carrier oscillator and voltage-controlled dual-waveform LFO. It can be used to process any instrument-level to line-level signal.

A ring modulator produces sum and difference frequencies between the audio input and a carrier oscillator. The ring modulator's LFO can be used to modulate the carrier frequency. The Moogerfooger ring modulator can create effects ranging from subtle tremolo to harmonically rich distortion, gong-like sounds, sweeps, swoops, and divebombs. It can be subtle, or outlandish in its use, you decide.

The Moogerfooger Ring Modulator's control parameters are signal mix, carrier frequency, LFO rate, and LFO amount. All of the ring modulator's parameters can be controlled by the great feeling knobs that beg to be tweaked as well as with expression pedals or external control voltages. Panel switches select LFO waveform and carrier frequency range. 1/4" jacks are provided for audio input and output, pedal/control inputs, carrier input and carrier output. The heavy-duty yet smooth acting bypass switch allows tabletop or floor use.

Imagine that the ring modulator's carrier oscillator is producing a 500 Hz sine wave, and your input signal is a 100 Hz sine wave. The ring modulator's output will be a complex waveform. You will hear 2 x pitches: 400 Hz and 600 Hz. You will not hear your original input or the carrier oscillator.

Comb filter

Review: The MF-103 12-stage phaser is a direct descendant of the original Moog modular synthesizers, yet can be used with any instrument level to line level signal. It contains 2 compete modular functions: a 6 or 12-stage phaser with resonance control, and wide range LFO with amount control.

The 12-Stage Phaser's control parameters are Sweep frequency, Resonance, LFO Rate and LFO Amount. All of these parameters can be controlled by the great feeling knobs that beg to be tweaked as well as expression pedals or external control voltages. Panel switches select ranrge of LFO Rate and 6 or 12 stage phasing. 1/4" jacks are provided for audio input and outputs, pedal/control inputs, LFO out and auxiliary sweep input for bi-phase effects. The heavy-duty yet smooth-acting bypass switch allows tabletop or floor use.

A phaser is a type of comb filter, so called because its frequency response has several dips and peaks, like the teeth of a comb. As the phaser response sweeps back and forth across the frequency spectrum, the harmonics of the audio input signal are alternately increased and decreased. This produces the classic phaser whooshing sound.

The Phasing is one of the best ways to impart motion to a track and to make sounds come alive. With the MF-103 Phaser you can get swirling, shimmering, vibrating effects; fill up a whole stage from one sound source; even create brand new sonic textures.

The MF-103 produces 2 comb-filter responses. They are called 6-Stage and 12-Stage, because of the number of phase-shifting circuits that are used internally. The 6-Stage mode has 3 dips in its frequency response, while the 12-Stage mode has 6 dips. These 2 modes have distinctly different sound qualities. In addition, the MF-103 features a variable feedback circuit which increases the resonance, or depth of the phaser sound. The MF-103 12-stage phaser is a direct descendant of the original Moog modular synthesizers, yet can be used with any instrument level to line level signal.

Power supply is included.
