Moog Music Recording Equipment MF-105 User Manual

  

     Welcome to the world of moogerfooger® Analog Effects 

Modules! Your model MF-105 MuRF is a rugged, professional-

quality instrument, designed to be equally at home on stage or in 

the studio.  Its great sound and jaw-dropping effects come from 

the state-of-the-art analog circuitry, designed and built under Bob 

Moog’s personal direction.

     Your MuRF is a direct descendent of the original Moog™ 

modular synthesizers and professional rack effects. It contains two 

basic functions: an 8-band array of resonant bandpass filters, and 

a pre-programmed “Animation”  module that generates sequences 

of envelopes that modulate the levels of the 8 filters. Several of 

the performance parameters are voltage-controllable, which means 

that you can use expression pedals, MIDI-to-CV converter, or any 

other source of control voltages, such as other moogerfoogers, to 

‘play’ your MuRF. 

     While you can use it on the floor as a conventional effects box, 

your MuRF is much more versatile and its sound quality is higher 

than the single fixed-function “stomp boxes” that you’re probably 

accustomed to.  The MuRF is an astoundingly versatile effects 

device, you will find it provides an incredible variety of effects. 

You will find that your MuRF is a deep musical resource and will 

become your creative companion as you explore its possibilities. 

     The following pages will first tell you how to hook up your 

MuRF and set the panel controls for the ‘basic’ setup. Next, we’ll 

explain how the functions of your MuRF work. After that we’ll 

go through the panel features and give you suggestions on how 

to use your MuRF in specific applications. At the end of this 

booklet you’ll find technical specifications, service and warranty 

information, information about Moog Music and diagrams of the 

MuRF’s Animation patterns.
