MF-105M MIDI MuRF
Pattern Editor/Controller
Introduction
The MIDI MuRF Pattern Editor/Controller serves two main functions: It allows you to edit and save custom
Animation patterns for your MIDI MuRF and it allows you to control the parameters of the MIDI MuRF (the
knobs and switches) from your computer desktop.
The software consists of two main windows, which we will call the MuRF Panel and the Pattern Editor.
The first window you will see when the program opens is the MuRF Panel.
This is a photorealistic representation of the front panel of the MuRF
and the on-screen knobs and sliders here send MIDI messages to
your MIDI MuRF for control. If you move your mouse to the top of
the window, you will see a Menu bar appear, with the options FILE,
MIDI, ADVANCED, PATTERNS, and HELP.
MIDI Setup
Of course, in order to control your MIDI MuRF from the software,
you will need to have MIDI output from your computer set up
correctly. Make sure your MIDI interface has the latest drivers
installed and connect your computer MIDI output to the MuRF MIDI
input. You will also need to select your MIDI output device within
the MuRF Editor software.
Click on the MIDI menu at the top of the MuRF Panel and select
your MIDI output device from the list. At the bottom of the MIDI
menu, you can set the MIDI channel to match your MuRF. If
necessary, consult the MIDI MuRF manual for information on how to
set the MIDI channel on the MIDI MuRF.
Once you have set the MIDI output device and channel correctly, the MuRF Editor will be connected and
ready to go. You should find that all of the on-screen knobs, sliders and switches on the MuRF Panel will
control their corresponding functions on your MIDI MuRF.
If you click the ADVANCED button on the MuRF Panel menu bar, you will see some additional on-screen
controls: knobs for LFO RATE and ENV SCALE, and switches for STACCATO and TRIPLETS. These
are MIDI-only parameters which do not have physical controls.
Advanced Parameters
LFO RATE and ENV SCALE always have an effect on the sound. LFO RATE controls the speed of the
MuRF's internal LFO, and ENV SCALE compresses or expands the duration of the filter envelopes,
independent of the pattern rate.
STACCATO mode controls how the MIDI MuRF behaves when you play MIDI notes in Triggered mode
(MIDI notes 48-60). If Staccato Mode is turned ON, then the MuRF will sound only for as long as notes
are held down; that is, if you release one of these MIDI notes while its filter envelope is still active, the
envelope will be brought abruptly to zero and the note will be cut off early. This allows for short, sharp
sequences with precise articulation.
