Chapter 55: Moogerfooger Lowpass Filter
The Moogerfooger Lowpass Filter features a
2-pole/4-pole variable resonance filter with en-
velope follower and is available in TDM, RTAS,
and AudioSuite formats. Use it to achieve classic
60s and 70s sounds on bass and electric guitar,
or just dial in some warm, fat analog resonance
when you need it.
How the Moogerfooger Lowpass Filter Works
With the invention of the MOOG
®
synthesizer in
the 1960s, Bob Moog started the electronic mu-
sic revolution. A direct descendent of the origi-
nal MOOG Modular synthesizers, the Mooger-
fooger Lowpass Filter provides two classic
MOOG modules: a Lowpass Filter and an Enve-
lope Follower.
A low pass Filter allows all frequencies up to a
certain frequency to pass, and cuts frequencies
above the cutoff frequency. It removes the high
frequencies from a tone, making it sound more
mellow or muted. The Moogerfooger Lowpass
Filter contains a genuine four-pole lowpass fil-
ter. We say “genuine” because the four-pole fil-
ter—a major part of the “MOOG Sound” of the
60s and 70s—was first patented by Bob Moog in
1968! Bob worked directly with Bomb Factory to
ensure that the digital version preserved all the
character, nuances, and personality of his origi-
nal classic analog design.
