MF-102S Ring Modulator

Re-invention of Moog Music’s classic MF-102 analog effects pedal

The MF-102 Ring Modulator, introduced in 1998, contained three complete modular functions: a Ring Modulator, a voltage-controlled Carrier Oscillator, and a voltage-controlled dual-waveform Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO). Designed by Bob Moog and his engineering team, the MF-102 was a direct descendant 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.

The MF-102 Ring Modulator has been meticulously recreated as the MF-102S, capturing not only the spaced-out, retro-futuristic sound of the original, but also the organic way in which the parameters interact to create a musical playing experience. With CV interconnectivity, stereo functionality, an extended feature set, the ability to run multiple instances, and presets, the MF-102S plugin further tailors the classic Moogerfooger functionality to the modern digital creator.

The MF-102S Ring Modulator also offers unique features not found on the hardware instrument, including:

• CARRIER TYPE switches between the original's MONO carrier oscillator and a STEREO oscillator, and enables phase-shifted stereo carrier signals with PANNING and REVERSE.

• LFO POLARITY affects the polarity of the LFO, which can be either BIPOLAR or UNIPOLAR.

• The MF-102S provides CV inputs for carrier frequency, LFO rate, LFO amount and mix as well as an independent CARRIER input and the possibility to attenuate or soften these modulations.

The Moogerfooger effect plugins range from clean filtering to wildly experimental modulation designed to manipulate, enhance and completely transform any sound. These effects each have their own identity and are designed to work perfectly side by side in your audio chain.
