Moogerfoogers in action

Hi all! I've been a lurker for years, finally posting...

I have an example of a Voyager and a couple of foogers in action that I thought might be interesting for those wondering what these things can do. Visit this page:

www.myspace.com/ursamajorandminor

and listen to the song Andre Rison.

At 1:32 you'll hear a rather cool sound. I'll explain what it is (this probably won't be too interesting for experienced folks, but for newbies it might be thought provoking).

So! It's a guitar running through a Freq Box running through a Low Pass Filter. So far so simple. The fun starts when you add a Voyager and a VX-351. What I did was write a simple MIDI arpreggio in the Protools session (four notes going up and down over a couple of octaves, which notes aren't really important) and had Protools control my Voyager. Then I sent the pitch CV from the Voyager (playing the semi-random arpeggio in time with the song) to control the Filter Cutoff on the Low Pass Filter. This I panned hard left. Then I recorded it again, but changed the Cutoff value a bit and panned that hard right for an imperfect stereo image. This is just an example, but of course you could use the same technique to control a ring mod frequency in time with your song, drive the MURF gate or whatever.

Hopefully this is useful to somebody, happy patching!

What you did with the guitar on that track is fantastic! It's a great example of using the awesome processing power of the Voyager, without being cliche or in-your-face. I also like all your other songs. Your musical style is right up my alley. I'll have to go to the label and make a couple purchases : )

Thanks all for the kind words, they are much appreciated! I'm glad you enjoyed the music. I'll post some other examples of interesting things in the future.

Hey,

AWSOME tracks. I'm totally 100000% into that stuff.
Do you ever make it out to Toronto? I'd love to jam out some material with you and possibly write some stuff together, if you'd be down for it. My pirmary thing is guitar w/ lots of effects and stuff, and keys.
PM me if youd' be interested... I'd really like to do something.
