DanS Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I just picked up the MF-102 Ring Modulator to compliment the RME. At first I was underwhelmed, but after about half an hour, I was pleased at some of the sounds I getting running the RME thru it. I am wondering a little about the connections though. Obviously there's the audio in/out for a mono connection, but is it possible to use the Carrier in/out for a 'stereo' connection? Don't wanna frag anything.

Dave Bryce Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I have two - the Low Pass Filter and the Phaser. They're awesome. The things were made with experimental interconnection in mind. Difficult to frag them. Worst case scenario they just sound funny...of course, some people see that as best case scenario... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanS Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 They sound funny alright. I turned the RME into a Thuvian throat singer gargling razor blades, all compliments of the RM. Further rotation of the mod wheel just got sillier. What we record in life, echoes in eternity.

GovernorSilver Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I just picked up the MF-102 Ring Modulator to compliment the RME. A good choice, from what I hear. Some guitarists use it as a tremolo pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real MC Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 The MIDIMurf is a nice tone shaping box and a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carver Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I use the ringmod and midimurf. Love them...especially the ring mod on a rhodes ala Chick Corea. I'm getting ready to order the low pass filter as well. Constantly striving to measure up to the quality of my gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanS Posted October 26, 2010 Author Share Posted October 26, 2010 Do you guys have them setup in a modular fashion, or are they setup independently of each other, as effects on other gear?

Carver Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I use mine just like an effect pedal right now. I'm saving up for a voyager, so maybe that will open up some new possibilities.

The Real MC Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Independent effects, not chained like guitar pedals. The fidelity is too good to be used as a pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobadohshe Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I have had the low pass filter for several years and only just recently have I started using it live. It's a wonderful little beast. I'd love to get the others but have other gear that I should be buying first.

Agreed, I meant chained together in terms of a modular system, not like stomp boxes kicking around on the floor. What we record in life, echoes in eternity.

Guitar pedal rigs are basically modular synths too - most of them just don't realize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewImprov Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I had the ring mod and still have the lowpass filter. They are among the best effects boxes I've ever owned. The only reason I sold the RIng Mod was because a sax playing friend of mine really wanted it, and I have several RM's in my modular. I regret selling it occasionally, but when I hear the incredible sound he gets from it, I feel like it's landed in the right hands. To address the OP's original question, the plugging the stereo signal into the audio and carrier inputs will not have the desired effect of running in stereo. If I remember correctly, it should make it into an octave doubler, by adding the signal essentially to itself. Ring mod + phaser + tape echo on Rhodes is one of my favorite places to be.

BP3 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I've played with the all except the MIDImurf. Great stuff. The analog delay sees much use when I mix live or in the studio. The phaser is fat and warm. The ring mod is good but I never used it much. The FreqBox is the most unique of the bunch and works great with the LPF patched afterward.

bloodsample Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I recently picked up the 104z (delay) and 107 (freqbox) because they were both on sale. I'm only just scratching the surface but so far I love what I hear. What's cool about the delay is that you have an IN/OUT for the feedback path. So I ran the feedback into the freqbox so that the initial sound is unaffected but every subsequent 'echo' is affected by the freqbox, pretty cool stuff. The freqbox manual is way over my head so I'll have to give it another read, but it also makes for a nice pseudo-fuzz pedal if used with hard sync and all env and fm knobs all the way down. I only have an LP without the CV out mod (which I plan to get) but the freqbox can also be used as an extra oscillator with the proper CV outs. These boxes have a ton of potential and it seems the more 'foogers you add the more complex the possibilities become. I imagine that with an expression pedal (or two) or the CP-251 the tweaking options will be insane. YouTube: onceuponasynth.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksoper Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 104z and MurF. I use them as pedals for now and hope to integrate them into something more modular in the future. But my pedal use is varied. Last week I ran the organ through the MurF on a live experimental jazz gig I do, and played the Rate against the rise and fall of the Leslie. Pretty cool. 9 Moog things, 3 Roland things, 2 Hammond things and a computer with stuff on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanS Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 I decided to heed some advice, and connected the RM to an effects send/return on my Mackie, so now all the boards can be effected by the RM, not just the Moog. Sounds awesome on Rhodes & Hammond! What we record in life, echoes in eternity.
