11 shows the changes to the

envelope times at different

settings of the Envelope

control. The Envelope times

also change as the RATE

changes. Faster Rate settings

decrease the envelope times

Figure 11 - Envelope shape morphing with

the ENVELOPE control

and slower Rate settings increase the envelope times. This makes the

MIDI MuRF capable of both rhythmic and smooth-changing, swirling

effects. Spend some time to get to know how this control interacts

with the different patterns and you will be rewarded with some very

interesting sounds!

THE MuRF’S TAP/STEP INPUT

The MIDI MuRF’s Animation can be synced to the tempo of the

music using a Moog FS-1 footswitch plugged into the TAP/STEP input.

Tapping three times activates the tap tempo feature of the MIDI MuRF.

The MF-105M calculates the time in between taps and translates this into

the rate for the pattern. It is important to make the time between the taps

as much the same as possible to get the best results. Note that the Rate

light becomes green when the rate is set by the Tap input, and returns to

red if the RATE control is changed. The tempo of the Animation is twice

the rate that is tapped on the footswitch. In other words, if you tap in

quarter notes, the Animation will chug along in eighth notes. If you tap

eighth notes, the Animation will proceed in 16th notes. A 0V off/ +5V on

Gate signal may be used to set the tap tempo as well.

The "STEP" part of the TAP/STEP input refers to the fact that the jack

is a TRS (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) input, and plugging the FS-1 or a gate signal

in halfway to this input engages the Animation sequencer STEP function.

With the tip of your FS-1 footswitch or gate signal connected to the ring

of the TAP/STEP input, a press of the footswitch or a gate signal stops

the automatic advancing of the current Animation pattern and the RATE

LED turns green. Then, with each additional press of the footswitch or

gate signal, the pattern will advance by one step. This is a very good way

of coming up with your own rhythmic variations on any of the MIDI

MuRF’s patterns.
