Description

A powerful saturation tool based on the classic Moogerfooger input drive stage that adds warmth, distortion and compression to any sound

About the MF-109S Saturator

The MF-109S Saturator is a new software-only effect that evolved from the development of the Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins.

An important part of any Moogerfooger is the input drive stage, which can add warmth, distortion and crunch to a sound. During beta testing it became clear that users wanted dynamic control over the drive circuit of the Moogerfoogers, so the MF-109S was born.

The MF-109S Saturator is capable of going from tight, dynamic overdrive and analog saturation to smooth compression and expansion by coupling a wide-range envelope follower with bipolar control over the unique drive circuit of the Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins. Furthermore, it models the noise generator circuit of the Minimoog Model D and allows control over both the noise generator level and the noise tone with switchable filter type. The MF-109S Saturator’s envelope follower and noise CV outputs and multiple CV inputs allow it to speak with all other Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins.

Exploring the MF-109S Saturator

This video demonstrates using the MF-109S Saturator to process a Moog Mavis analog synthesizer and Elektron Digitakt sampler drum machine in a mix. The MF-109S is a great way to add dynamic drive and saturation to tracks in your DAW, as well as develop unique textures via the flexible audio-reactive noise generator.

New MF-109S expands on classic Moogerfooger sound

The MF-109S has a large number of unique settings, including:

ENVELOPE switches between a MONO envelope follower or creates two separate left and right envelope followers for STEREO dynamics.

RESPONSE affects how the envelope follower curve is shaped by the incoming dynamics of your input.

TONE switches the filter type of the NOISE circuit.

NOISE provides a phase-inverted NOISE signal in stereo.

The MF-109S provides CV Inputs for Drive, Drive Envelope Amount, Noise Level, Noise Envelope Amount and Noise Tone, as well as the ability to smooth these modulations.

The sounds of the MF-109S Saturator effect

The Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins 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.
