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, well explain how the functions of your MIDI MuRF work. After that well 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 youll find technical specifications, service and warranty information, information about Moog Music and diagrams of the MIDI MuRF s Animation patterns.

GETTING STARTED Here are some simple instructions on how to plug in and try out your MF-105M before you have read through the entire manual. 1. Unpack your MF-105M. Place it on a table while you become familiar with its controls and connections. Gently pat the wooden side pieces of your new moogerfooger to let it know that it has found its new home and that it will be well cared for. 2. Check that the power adaptor has a nominal rating of +9 volts, providing at least 300 mA (milliamperes) of current and is also rated at your countrys standard power voltage (120 Volts AC for the United States and Canada; 100 Volts AC for Japan; and 220 Volts AC for most other countries). Plug the power adaptors cord into the MF-105Ms +9V jack. Then plug the power adaptor itself into a power voltage receptacle. Note the MIDI MuRF uses a power supply which is rated at 300mA output current. Using a power supply that is rated for less current may not allow the device to power up properly. Make sure to use the proper power supply. 3. Note that the BYPASS light is on. It will light up either red or green. Red indicates that the MF-105Ms effect is off-line (bypassed), while green indicates that the effect is on. Pressing the stomp switch will toggle the BYPASS light between red and green. For now, leave the BYPASS light on red. Refer to Figure 1 for steps 4, 5 and 6. 4. Connect an instrument cable from the LEFT/MONO jack to a line-level input on your amp or mixer. Turn the volume control on your amp down but not off. Figure 1 - Basic Connections page 3
