Moffenzeef The Runner
In collaboration with Boy Harsher, Moffenzeef presents The Runner, a desktop drone synth with five PWM oscillators, internal modulation, and lowpass filter. Coinciding with the release of Boy Harsher's horror film of the same title, The Runner is a dark, heavy-sounding synth with highly musical options.
Oscillators can switch between continuous or chromatic tuning with a range of A0-A4 and using the Harmonics knob allows crossfading between the five oscillators, which are tuned octaves and fifths apart. A lowpass filter works as you would expect and has a resonance knob which allows for self-oscillation. An Animate knob controls the amount of modulation sent to the PWM speed/depth, lowpass speed/depth, and detune amount. Two ranges adjust the speed of the internal, organic LFO which moves in an irregular, satisfying manner. A Chorus switch also allows for even more timbral possibilities and the CMOS Distortion takes that even further with the ability to obliterate your signal.
With some slick updates for this new batch of The Runner, v2.0 features a mode switch to unlock the sounds of Moffenzeef's Knucklebuster for another palette of harsh noise sounds. Runner v2.0 features full MIDI CC implementation and pitch control, with a free companion Max for Live device available to streamline mapping and automation.
With a wide range of sounds, The Runner from Moffenzeef is a fantastic companion for your own score, durational set, or as a handy studio friend for when you need thick drones quickly.
