Moogerfooger® MF-107 Freqbox™
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. -

As 'Macarthur Park' Turns 45, Jimmy Webb Will Play It in That Park - Los Angeles Times 10/16/13 12:35 PM
As 'MacArthur Park' turns 45, Jimmy Webb will play it in that park - Los Angeles Times 10/16/13 12:35 PM ! Back to Original Article As 'MacArthur Park' turns 45, Jimmy Webb will play it in that park Jimmy Webb wrote the odd 1960s hit 'MacArthur Park,' recorded by Richard Harris. He has a sense of humor about it. And yes, he saw a cake left out in the rain. June 14, 2013 | By Randy Lewis, Los Angeles Times Before becoming a widely lauded songwriter, Jimmy Webb was just another aspiring musician living in a dingy Los Angeles apartment. The Oklahoma transplant would wander from his low-rent flat in Silver Lake to a place that would inspire one of his most indelible hits, MacArthur Park. There, between Wilshire and 7th, he'd wait for his girlfriend to get off work from her job nearby. "I used to eat lunch in the park," said Webb, 66. "It was a place you could be away from the dreariness of a really bottom-scale apartment." The scenes he saw there day after day inspired him to write "MacArthur Park," the unlikely 1968 hit single sung by actor Richard Harris. TIMELINE: Must-see summer music Now, 45 years after the location he immortalized became an unlikely pop-culture touchstone, Webb will sing "MacArthur Park" in MacArthur Park on Saturday to kick off a summer concert series. It's a first for Webb, who's never performed the song at its namesake location. "MacArthur Park was — perhaps I'm painting it with the brush of nostalgia — a kind and gentle place," Webb said. -
DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC (Biography)
DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC (biography) ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME MEMBER CHRIS HILLMAN AND THE DESERT ROSE BAND~ACOUSTIC TO PERFORM IN A RARE APPEARANCE Joining Chris Hillman in this acoustic appearance are John Jorgenson on guitar/mandolin, Herb Pedersen on guitar and Bill Bryson on bass. Chris Hillman was one of the original members of The Byrds, which also included Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gene Clark and Michael Clarke. The Byrds were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. After his departure from the Byrds, Hillman, along with collaborator Gram Parsons, was a key figure in the development of country-rock. Hillman virtually defined the genre through his seminal work with the Byrds and later bands, The Flying Burrito Brothers and Manassas with Steven Stills. In addition to his work as a musician, Hillman is also a successful songwriter and his songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as; Emmylou Harris, Patti Smith, The Oak Ridge Boys, Beck, Steve Earl, Peter Yorn,Tom Petty, and Dwight Yoakam. In the 1980s Chris formed The Desert Rose Band which became one of country music’s most successful acts throughout the 1980s and 1990s, earning numerous ‘Top 10’ and ‘Number 1’ hits. The band’s success lead to three Country Music Association Awards, and two Grammy nominations. Although the Desert Rose Band disbanded in the early 1990s, they performed a reunion concert in 2008 and have since played a few shows together in select venues. Herb Pedersen began his career in Berkeley, California in the early 1960′s playing 5 string banjo and acoustic guitar with artists such as Jerry Garcia, The Dillards, Old and in the Way, David Grisman and David Nelson. -
