    Understanding and Using your moogerfooger® MF-107 FreqBox™ TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction.................................................2 Getting Started Right Away!.......................4 Basic Applications......................................6 FreqBox Theory........................................10 FreqBox Functions....................................16 Advanced Applications.............................21 Technical Information...............................24 Limited Warranty......................................25 MF-107 Specifications..............................26 1 Welcome to the world of moogerfooger® Analog Effects Modules. Your Model MF-107 FreqBox™ is a rugged, professional-quality instrument, designed to be equally at home on stage or in the studio. Its great sound comes from the state-of-the- art analog circuitry, designed and built by the folks at Moog Music in Asheville, NC. Your MF-107 FreqBox is a direct descendent of the original modular Moog® synthesizers. It contains several complete modular synth functions: a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with variable waveshape, capable of being hard synced and frequency modulated by the audio input, and an envelope follower which allows the dynamics of the input signal to modulate the frequency of the VCO. In addition the amplitude of the VCO is controlled by the dynamics of the input signal, and the VCO can be mixed with the audio input. All performance parameters are voltage-controllable, which means that you can use expression pedals, MIDI-to-CV converter, or any other source of control voltages to 'play' your MF-107. Control voltage outputs mean that the MF-107 can be used with other moogerfoogers or voltage controlled devices like the Minimoog Voyager® or Little Phatty® synthesizers. While you can use it on the floor as a conventional effects box, your MF-107 FreqBox is much more versatile and its sound quality is higher than the single fixed function "stomp boxes" that you may be accustomed to.

    Two Teens and a Budget It Paysays to Belong ! Two Teens and a Budget CHAPTER 1 - ANGELA Liam always insists that the car wasn’t the last straw. But trust me, it was. At least that’s what finally made dad explode at Uncle Billy’s house. And dad, like ... never explodes. Especially at Uncle Billy. Uncle Billy is that really rich, old, great uncle that everybody wishes they could have. And we actually have him. Lucky us, except of course, there’s a catch. Uncle Billy is totally useless. Not that he’s useless. He’s, like, super successful and filthy rich, and if you ask (or don’t ask), he’s more than happy to tell you all about his first job and his second job and his third job and his first business and his second business and … you get the picture. To hear Uncle Billy tell it, he was working while he was still in diapers. Whatever. Like anybody cares. Because he doesn’t do what rich, lonely uncles are supposed to do - such as adopt and lavish me with all the good things in life. Okay, maybe he’s not that lonely. He’s got Aunt Rose to keep him company and listen to how wonderful he is. And truthfully, I wouldn’t be all that good at that. But still. I’d listen if I thought it was worth my while. Which it’s totally not. As he likes to point out, the only valuables I’ll ever be getting from his will are jewels of advice.

  • The 1-Bit Instrument: the Fundamentals of 1-Bit Synthesis
    BLAKE TROISE The 1-Bit Instrument The Fundamentals of 1-Bit Synthesis, Their Implementational Implications, and Instrumental Possibilities ABSTRACT The 1-bit sonic environment (perhaps most famously musically employed on the ZX Spectrum) is defined by extreme limitation. Yet, belying these restrictions, there is a surprisingly expressive instrumental versatility. This article explores the theory behind the primary, idiosyncratically 1-bit techniques available to the composer-programmer, those that are essential when designing “instruments” in 1-bit environments. These techniques include pulse width modulation for timbral manipulation and means of generating virtual polyph- ony in software, such as the pin pulse and pulse interleaving techniques. These methodologies are considered in respect to their compositional implications and instrumental applications. KEYWORDS chiptune, 1-bit, one-bit, ZX Spectrum, pulse pin method, pulse interleaving, timbre, polyphony, history 2020 18 May on guest by http://online.ucpress.edu/jsmg/article-pdf/1/1/44/378624/jsmg_1_1_44.pdf from Downloaded INTRODUCTION As unquestionably evident from the chipmusic scene, it is an understatement to say that there is a lot one can do with simple square waves. One-bit music, generally considered a subdivision of chipmusic,1 takes this one step further: it is the music of a single square wave. The only operation possible in a -bit environment is the variation of amplitude over time, where amplitude is quantized to two states: high or low, on or off. As such, it may seem in- tuitively impossible to achieve traditionally simple musical operations such as polyphony and dynamic control within a -bit environment. Despite these restrictions, the unique tech- niques and auditory tricks of contemporary -bit practice exploit the limits of human per- ception.

  • Life in Two City States--- Athens and Sparta
    - . CHAPTER The city-states of Sparta (above) and Athens (below) were bitter rivals. Life in Two City-States Athens and Sparta 27.1 Introduction In Chapter 26, you learned that ancient Greece was a collection of city- states, each with its own government. In this chapter, you will learn about two of the most important Greek city-states, Athens and Sparta. They not only had different forms of government, but very different ways of life. Athens was a walled city near the sea. Nearby, ships came and went from a busy port. Inside the city walls, master potters and sculptors labored in work- shops. Wealthy people and their slaves strolled through the marketplace. Often the city's citizens (free men) gathered to loudly debate the issues of the day. Sparta was located in a farming area on a plain. No walls surrounded the city. Its buildings were simple and plain compared to those of Athens. Even the clothing of the people in the streets was drab. Columns of soldiers tramped through the streets, with fierce expressions behind their bronze helmets. Even a casual visitor could see that Athens and Sparta were very different. Let's take a closer look at the way people lived in these two city-states. We'll examine each city's government, economy, education, and treatment of women and slaves. Use this graphic organizer to help you compare various aspects of life in Athens and Sparta. Life in Two City-States: Athens and Sparta 259 27.2 Comparing Two City-States Peloponnesus the penin- Athens and Sparta were both Greek cities, and they were only sula forming the southern part about 150 miles apart.

A hurricane roared and raged through the night. And in the middle of the chaos, a cargo ship was sinking down down down to the ocean floor. The ship left hundreds of crates floating on the surface. But as the hurricane thrashed and swirled and knocked them around, the crates also began sinking into the depths. One after another, they were swallowed up by the waves, until only five crates remained. By morning the hurricane was gone. There were no clouds, no ships, no land in sight. There was only calm water and clear skies and those five crates lazily bobbing along an ocean current. Days passed. And then a smudge of green appeared on the horizon. As the crates drifted closer, the soft green shapes slowly sharpened into the hard edges of a wild, rocky island. The first crate rode to shore on a tumbling, rumbling wave and then crashed against the rocks with such force that the whole thing burst apart.

PCFLO User Manual Appendix A3. Harmonics Analysis for Industrial Power Systems (HAPS) User Manual and Files 1. Introduction Power systems are designed to operate at frequencies of 50 or 60Hz. However, certain types of loads produce currents and voltages with frequencies that are integer multiples of the 50 or 60 Hz fundamental frequency. These higher frequencies are a form of electrical pollution known as power system harmonics. Power system harmonics are not a new phenomenon. In fact, a text published by Steinmetz in 1916 devotes considerable attention to the study of harmonics in three-phase power systems. In Steinmetz’s day, the main concern was third harmonic currents caused by saturated iron in transformers and machines. He was the first to propose delta connections for blocking third harmonic currents. After Steinmetz’s important discovery, and as improvements were made in transformer and machine design, the harmonics problem was largely solved until the 1930s and 40s. Then, with the advent of rural electrification and telephones, power and telephone circuits were placed on common rights-of-way.
