Moogerfoogers Are Back!
Moog has today announced the release of their new set of plugins which aim to faithfully recreate the sound of the legendary, and much sought-after, Moogerfooger effects pedals.
From the Moog website:
“Designed by Bob Moog and his engineering team in the late ’90s and ’00s, Moogerfooger effects pedals were direct descendants of the original Moog modular synthesizers, adapted to process, modulate, and play with inputs ranging from guitar, voice, and synthesizer to any imaginable audio source. From the MF-104’s lush, warm analog delay circuit to the swirling phaser effects of the MF-103 and legendary resonant ladder lowpass filter in the MF-101, Moogerfoogers have become renowned for their sound and adopted by studios and performers around the world.
Each of the seven effects have been meticulously renewed with reverence for the lush, distinctive tones of the original analog circuits—retaining the exceptional sound quality the pedals are known for, while expanding on what’s possible in the hardware realm. With stereo functionality and an extended feature set, these plug-ins further tailor the classic Moogerfooger functionality to the modern digital creator. With all parameters ready to be automated as well as the ability to save and manage presets, Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins mutate and re-shape themselves around your audio tracks. ”
All seven of the original Moogerfooger pedals have been “re-invented” as plugins:
MF-101S Lowpass Filter
The classic Moog ladder filter with an envelope follower for dynamic control.
MF-102S Ring Modulator
A wide-range carrier oscillator paired with an LFO for effects from soft tremolo through far-out clangorous ring modulation tones.
MF-103S 12-Stage Phaser
A descendant of the vibrant 1970s rack-mounted Moog phaser with an on-board LFO.
MF-104S Analog Delay
A rich, full-bodied delay and modulation circuit that has remained highly sought after to this day.
MF-105S MuRF
A groundbreaking effect combining a resonant filter bank with a pattern generator and skewing envelope for vibrant animation of an incoming sound.
MF-107S FreqBox
A box of gnarly synced VCO sounds with envelope and FM modulation.
MF-108S Cluster Flux
A flexible processor that can modulate between chorus, flanging, and vibrato.
The plugins are available as a bundle from PluginBoutique for £159, which includes a 40% introductory discount. Given that original Moogerfoogers regularly reach £1000 or more in the used market, this seems like a great deal!
