Summary of Contents for Moog MF-108M Cluster Flux

  • Page 3 Its great sound and jaw- dropping effects come from state-of-the-art analog circuitry, designed and handcrafted by our team at MOOG Music in Asheville, North Carolina. The MF-108M is rooted in the analog wizardry of Bob Moog’s mooger- fooger designs.
  • Page 4: Getting Started

    GETTING STARTED Here are some simple instructions on how to plug in and try your new MF-108M. Guitar or Instrument Expression Pedal Power Supply AUDIO IN FEEDBACK TIME LFO RATE 300 mA FB INSERT LFO AMT L/MONO OUT R OUT MIDI IN MIDI Out from Amplifier...
  • Page 5 1. Unpack your Cluster Flux and gently tap the wooden side pieces of your new moogerfooger to wake it up after the long journey to its new home. 2. Connect the instrument cable from your sound source to the AUDIO IN jack. You can feed virtually any instrument or line-level signal through your MF-108M.
  • Page 6 1. CLASSIC FLANGING This effect features an up-and-down modu- lation of the input signal. Some describe it as a whooshing or jet plane sound. •Move TIME left to raise flanging frequency and right to lower it •Try negative FEEDBACK for a lower pitched, hollow flange •For best flanging results MIX control should be mostly wet...
  • Page 7 3. VIBRATO This effect features a slight up-and-down modulation of the input signal’s pitch moni- toring only the wet signal. •Adding FEEDBACK to vibrato gives it a metallic edge •The sine wave offers the most natural finger vibrato sound •Increasing the RATE modifies the speed of up and down vibrato.
  • Page 8 5. PEDAL FLANGE This setup requires an Expression Pedal such as the Moog EP-2. Pedal Flanging allows real-time control of the flange frequency and can be played like a wah-wah effect. •Connect an EP-2 or other compatible expression pedal to the TIME control voltage input •Set TIME at center position to get full sweep from the expression pedal...
  • Page 9 7. RAMP WAVE PITCH MOD The LFO Ramp wave can be used for creative rhythmic pitch cluster effects. This unusual effect features a rising modulation of the pitch followed by a sudden drop. •Tune the TIME control in conjunction with the AMOUNT and RATE controls for the desired range of pitch modulation.
  • Page 10 THE CLUSTER FLUX FRONT PANEL DRIVE Control - Sets the input sensitivity of the Cluster Flux. This control is only active when the Effect is on. The available gain is from -7dB to +28dB nominal. The Cluster Flux is designed to work with instrument or line-level signals.
  • Page 11 Any position between the two will blend Wet and Dry signal to the outputs. DELAY TIME - Sets the length of Delay from the BBD delay line based on the Range switch setting. In Flange Mode, with AMOUNT set to 0, the Delay Time changes from .6 msec to 10 msec nominal.
  • Page 12 LFO AMOUNT - Sets the overall amount of modulation of the delay time by the LFO. Note: As the LFO Amount increases, the functional range of the Delay Time control is decreased, so that the maximum and minimum delay times are not exceeded. BYPASS - Used to turn the Effect On and Off.
  • Page 13 output in Stereo applications. The default configuration is that the Right Output carries a mix of the Dry signal plus the inverted Wet signal. When the outputs are panned hard left and right, this creates a rich stereo effect. In this mode, when both outputs are mixed together and panned to the center the wet signal is cancelled.
  • Page 14: Midi Channel

    Refer to the MIDI section of this manual for use of the Cluster Flux with other MIDI devices. POWER - For connecting to the supplied power adapter Note: Use only the proper power supply to avoid damage to the device. Make sure your power supply has the correct Input voltage specifications for your country: •120VAC/60 Hz for the US...
  • Page 15 of change of Delay time by all controls (Delay Time control, Delay Time CV, LFO, and MIDI control of Delay time). Larger values slow down the rate of change, creating a “glide” effect for the Delay time.The default value on each power cyle is 0 CC# 7 (MSB)/ CC#39 (LSB): Output Level Control CC# 12 (MSB)/ CC#44 (LSB): Delay Time...
  • Page 16 receives a MIDI Note On message. When changed, the value is stored to memory when the unit is powered down. Default is disabled CC# 75: Delay Time Range Multiplier (0-31=Normal, 32-63= x2, 64- 95=x4, 96-128=x8. CC# 76: MIDI Sync Enable (0=Disabled, 64=Enabled (default) Disable MIDI Sync of the Cluster Flux LFO using MIDI Real Time Clock messages.
  • Page 17 does not send a CC on release (latching on/off behavior); program your MIDI controller to use CC93 if the controller sends one CC value when you press its switch and another CC value on release of the switch (momentary on/off behavior).
  • Page 18: Output Configuration

    OUTPUT CONFIGURATION The Right Output of the Cluster Flux is shipped from the factory having a Mix of Dry signal and phase inverted Wet signal from the output of the BBDs. This is so the Left and Right outputs can be panned hard left and right for a very nice stereo effect.
