01Overview

The MF-103S brings the MF-103 12-Stage Phaser into the digital studio. The original hardware, introduced in 1999, combined a voltage-controlled phaser with a wide-range LFO, and was built on the same design thinking as Moog's modular synthesizers. Moog describes the plugin as capturing the enveloping, psychedelic character of the original and the way its parameters interact to form a playable instrument. Stereo operation, a wider feature set and the ability to run multiple instances make it suited to modern production as well as sound design on guitar, vocal and synth sources.

03In depth

Sound and Character of the MF-103S Phaser

The MF-103S is modeled on the MF-103 pedal, which Moog designed as a direct descendant of its modular synthesizers. The developer says the plugin focuses on the sweeping, enveloping phase effect of the original, along with the musical interaction between its controls.

Because the phaser can process any audio source, it works on guitar, voice, synthesizer and other material. Its 6-stage and 12-stage modes let you choose between a lighter and a denser phase movement.

Workflow, Modulation and Automation

The MF-103S supports CV interconnectivity, so one Moogerfooger instance can modulate the parameters of another across your project. Digital attenuverters on each CV input and side-chain capability add control over how the modulation behaves.

All parameters can be automated, and presets can be saved and managed inside your DAW. Multiple instances can run at once for layered or interrelated effects.
