Moog Music MF-105M MIDI MuRF (Manual Addendum - Firmware v1.8) - Manual (Page 13)

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.
