We present strong radio-frequency current modulation close to their repetition frequency as a means to control the emitted state of quantum cascade laser frequency combs. In particular, more than doubling of the spectral bandwidth compared to free-running can be achieved throughout the dynamical range of the device. By changing the modulation frequency, the spectral bandwidth and center-frequency can be tuned and by fast switching between modulation frequencies we can multiplex spectral regions with negligible overlap from the same device. In the time-domain, we are able to transition from quasi-continuous to long-pulse output by injecting at high power.
