Chapter 10: Moogerfooger Plug-ins 39
Resonance changes the way the filter sounds. At
low resonance, low frequencies come through
evenly. At high resonance, frequencies near the
cutoff frequency are boosted, creating a whis-
tling or vowel-type quality. When resonance is
maxed out, the filter oscillates and produces its
own tone at the cutoff frequency. This oscilla-
tion interacts with other tones as they go
through the filter, producing the signature
Moog sound.
The 2-Pole/4-Pole switch selects whether the sig-
nal goes through half the filter (2-pole) or the
entire filter (4-pole). 2-pole is brighter, while 4-
pole has a deeper, mellow quality.
Audio Input and Mixing
The remaining controls set the input level and
effect mix.
The Drive control sets the input gain. Use it to
adjust the input to the filter and envelope fol-
lower for desired impact.
The Mix control blends the original input signal
with the filtered signal. Use it to get any mixture
of filtered and unfiltered sound.
LED Indicators
Three LEDs down the center of the unit provide
visual feedback. Level glows green when signal
is present to the envelope circuit. Env (enve-
lope) glows redder in response to the envelope
tracking of the input. And Bypass glows either
red (bypassed) or green (not bypassed) to show
whether or not the effect is in the signal path.
Tips and Tricks
Auto Wah Using an External LFO
Try inserting an LFO ahead of the Moogerfooger
Lowpass Filter to produce a cool “auto wah.” Or
use Voce Spin’s rotating speaker for even trip-
pier sounds!
