USED MF 108M Cluster Flux

The MF-108M is rooted in the analog wizardry of Bob Moog’s moogerfooger designs. It is a direct descendent of the original Moog® modular synthesizers and professional rack effects. Your Cluster Flux offers two basic functions: A dual-range Bucket Brigade Device (BBD) Delay Line designed for very short delay times and a multiwaveform Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) capable of modulating the Delay Line for a variety of effects including Chorus, Flanging and Vibrato. Several of the performance parameters are voltage-controllable. This means you can use expression pedals, a MIDI-to-CV converter or any other source of control voltage, such as other moogerfoogers to play your MF-108M. In addition, the front panel rotary controls and switches can be controlled through the use of MIDI and the LFO can be synced to a MIDI Clock. While you can use it on the floor like a conventional effects box, your Cluster Flux is much more versatile. Its sound quality is higher than most fixed-function “stomp boxes” you may be accustomed to. You will find that your Cluster Flux is a deep electronic musical resource that offers a very large range of analog sound processing possibilities.

Create an array of unique sounds with 6 wave shapes (Sine, Triangle, Square, Ramp, Reverse Ramp and Sample and Hold).  Each shape is the foundation for a completely different musical inspiration.  Tap in the tempo of your LFO via the TAP TEMPO button, or sync the Cluster Flux to a MIDI clock.

Positive and Negative Feedback allow you a wider range of tones and voicing than you would find in a normal stomp box.  These can even be used to drive the Cluster Flux into tuned self-oscillation.

Use the Amount and Rate controls for expression and modulation of the delay line.

 Anything from vibrato to a jackhammer, these controls can make it happen.

Just want a little bit of an effect?  Use mix control to dial in the the perfect blend of original and effected signal.

Want more control?  CV jacks on the back allow for control of Time, Rate, Mix, Feedback and Amount via the Moog EP-2 Expression Pedal, CV or other

Moogerfoogers.

Like all Moogerfoogers, the Cluster Flux is made to work with all sound sources: Guitars, Drum Machines, Keyboards... you name it.  The Cluster Flux is of course built in the classic Moog fashion and is guranteed to give you a lifetime of musical joy!

Front Panel

•             TIME: Adjust delay time 0.6mS to 10mS in Flange mode and 5mS to 50mS in Chorus mode.
•             RANGE: Select between Flanger and Chorus mode
•             FEEDBACK: Continuous control from no feedback to infinite feedback. Bi-Polar control allows the feedback to highlight even or odd harmonics.
•             DRIVE: Allows between -7dB and +28dB of gain or attenuation of the input signal for optimum signal path, level matching and distortion sounds.
•             OUTPUT: Allows gain and attenuation of output signal for compatibility with a widerange of input devices.
•             MIX: Cross fader control to vary the amount of wet or dry signal heard on output.
 •            LFO: Six position rotary switch to select the LFO wave shape for delay time modulation. Select between Sine, Triangle, Square, Ramp, Saw and Random stepped modulation.
•             LFO RATE: Adjust the LFO rate from the sub audio to audio rates. Control from 0.05 Hz to 50 Hz from the front panel (more from the CV).
 •            LFO AMOUNT: Controls the amount of LFO modulation of the delay time.
 
LEDs and switches
•             RATE: A Bi-Color LED to display the rate and shape of the LFO wave as well as the source of control.
•             MIDI: A Bi-Color LED to display the presence of MIDI control.
•             LEVEL: A Bi-Color LED to display the level of the input signal post drive control for
optimum processing level.
•             BYPASS: A Bi-Color LED to indicate if the effect is engaged or not.
•             TAP TEMPO: A rugged smooth-acting stomp switch for setting LFO rate.
 •            BYPASS SWITCH: A rugged smooth-acting stomp switch bypassing the unit with a
buffered input.
 
Back Panel Features
•             AUDIO IN: 1/4” phone jack - accepts any instrument-level to line-level audio signals.
•             LEFT / MONO AUDIO OUT: 1/4” phone jack 1/4” phone jack with adjustable output
level for instrument or line level output.
•             RIGHT / Stereo OUT: A Second output dip switch configurable for either Stereo out (two
types), Delay only out, or dual mono out.
•             FEEDBACK, TIME, LFO RATE, MIX, LFO AMOUNT: all of which are stereo 1/4”
jacks that accept Moogerfooger EP-2 (or equivalent) expression pedals, or 0-5V control
voltages from either two-circuit or three-circuit 1/4” jacks.
•             FEEDBACK INSERT: A 1/4” TRS Insert jack for inserting effects in the feedback loop of the delay chain. Line level output.
•             MIDI IN: A 5 Pin DIN input for controlling the MF-108 via MIDI Control.
•             +9V POWER INPUT JACK - accepts standard 9 volt center positive barrel power adaptor (power adaptor included). 300mA minimum required.
