Welcome to the world of moogerfooger® Analog Effects Modules! Your Model MF-
102 Ring Modulator is a rugged, professional-quality instrument, designed to be equally
at home on stage or in the studio. Its great sound and classic effects come from the
state-of-the-art all-analog circuitry, designed and built under Bob Moog's personal
direction.
Your MF-102 is a direct descendent of the original modular Moog™ synthesizers. It
contains three complete modular functions,- a Ring Modulator, a voltage-controlled
Carrier Oscillator, and a voltage-controlled dual-waveform Low Frequency Oscillator
(LFO). All performance parameters are voltage-controllable, which means that you can
use expression pedals, MIDI-to-CV converter, or any other source of control voltages to
'play' your MF-102.
While you can use it on the floor as a conventional effects box, your MF-102 is much
more versatile and its sound quality is higher than the single fixed function "stomp
boxes" that you're probably accustomed to. You will find that your MF-102 is a deep
musical resource. It will give you an amazing variety of new sounds and will become
your creative companion as you explore its functions.
The following pages will first tell you how to hook up your MF-102 and set the panel
controls for the 'basic' setup. Next, we'll explain how the modular functions in your MF-
102 work. After that we'll go through the panel features and give you suggestions on
how to use your MF-102 in specific applications. At the end of this booklet you'll find
technical specifications, service and warranty information, and information about
Moog Music.
