Update: Make sure to check out the sample on site."MF-FM: NEW MOOGERFOOGER EFFECT USES BROADCAST RADIO SIGNALS
MF/FM mixes live radio and instrument sounds to create out-of-this-world effects.
In case the FreqBox wasn’t adept at catapulting Moog beyond the frayed outer circles of unique electronic effects, another new Moogerfooger, unveiled today, puts the phrase “never been done before” into almost cliché territory. The “MF/FM” effect actually captures radio signals, routes them through electronic wizardry, and produces some of the craziest sounds imaginable.
The new MF/FM begins shipping on April 1, 2007.
$349.00 in US dollars."
Title link takes you there.
ugh. serious does anyone fall for April's Fools gags?
ReplyDeleteCheck the shipping date: I smell April Fool's!
ReplyDeleteRemember the Moogerfooger 4'33" ? Featuring "ultra-quiet analog silence!"
Seriously with a matrix green button on it!
ReplyDeleteY'know, I've actually expressed a desire to build exactly this. The idea would be to have an oscillating distortion or ringmod whose carrier was a tunable FM signal. The ad copy writes itself: "All musicians want to get on the radio. Here's your chance! Stop spending all your time eliminating RF noise from your signal path: embrace it and make Clear Channel work for you!"
ReplyDelete349$ for a radio tuner ?
ReplyDeletemust be kidding
I' ve been playing with fm for less $
well I would be happy if they just shipped the Freq Box...I've had my money down on one since Feb 8 and still no delivery ...grrrrrrrr
ReplyDeleteTune in a bluegrass station and you've got yourself cheap Buchla.
ReplyDeletelol. good one.
ReplyDeleteBeen there, done that. Foot pedal controls AM/FM tuning, expression pedal input to control signal/radio mix.

What, no shortwave? Bah!
ReplyDeleteHey Lorren your paint jobs are almost as played out as saying "been there, done that" Do you also say "talk to the hand" or "oh no you diunt" when hating on stuff that is so much radder than yours. Why don't you make a tr-909 clone while you are at it and have all the blues lawyers tell you how ill it is. Oh wait it seems like you maybe have already.
ReplyDeleteI did a MF105 with am/fm as well... long time back...

I think Buchla actually does have a module like this that just came out. for the 200E series. Kind of cool, but I agree with jmw's gripe about lack of shortwave (or long waves for that mater) Bah indeed.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the MF-FM sound sample on the Moog website...
ReplyDeletehey it sounds kinda metasonixish!
ReplyDeleteJust so you know, they're totally stealing my "extra modern plus" module design:

Where do I send the bill?
(mine is a real 3 module set -- could be one module, but I like re-positioning them).
How long 'till those bastards steal my "Psycho Cluster Zombulator"?
not as cool as the Doktor's christmas radio modular.
ReplyDeletethese would actually sell a handful, to be honest. coming april FIRST.
ReplyDeleteyou know it would be just like us cynics to not forsee some kinda double ruse
ReplyDeleteApril fools...
ReplyDeletewhat's love got to do with buying a stairway to heaven?
