     Welcome to the world of moogerfooger® Analog Effects Modules! Your 

model MF-105M MIDI 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 state-of-the-art analog circuitry, designed and 
built by the team at Moog Music in Asheville, North Carolina. The MF-105M is 
full of the very same analog goodness that Bob Moog designed into the original 
award-winning MF-105 MuRF and the MF-105B Bass MuRF. 

    Your MIDI 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 filters that can be voiced for bass or mid frequency 
response, 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 MIDI MuRF. In addition, the front panel 
rotary controls and switches can be controlled through the use of MIDI. The 
patterns of the Animation module can be synced to a MIDI Clock, and the MIDI 
input allows for users to customize the internal patterns. A software application 
that is both MIDI Controller and Pattern Editor is available at Moog Music’s 
website: www.moogmusic.com.

     While you can use it on the floor as a conventional effects box, your MIDI 
MuRF is much more versatile and its sound quality is higher than the single 
fixed-function "stomp boxes" that you may be accustomed to. You will find that 
your MIDI MuRF is a deep electronic 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 MIDI MuRF work. After that we’ll go through the panel features and give 
you suggestions on how to use your MIDI 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 MIDI MuRF’s 
Animation patterns.
