Moog MF-105M MIDI MuRF Pedal Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Moog Moogerfooger MF-105M MIDI MuRF is a standout for those craving unique sonic landscapes. Combining the MF-105 and MF-105B, it offers a versatile range of resonant filters enhanced with MIDI capabilities, making it a playground for sonic experimentation. The Animation section and a rich array of patterns provide endless creative possibilities, while the inclusion of MIDI and CV inputs ensures seamless integration into complex setups.

Overall, it's a treasure trove for adventurous musicians.

Moog MIDI MuRF

soundonsound.com

The Moog Moogerfooger MF-105M MIDI MuRF impresses by merging two previous MuRF iterations with added MIDI functionality. This hybrid pedal retains its analog charm while offering user-programmable patterns and extensive MIDI control, making it a versatile choice for musicians seeking innovative sound manipulation. Its dual Bass and Mids operation provides flexibility, though the learning curve is steeper compared to its predecessors. A standout feature is the MIDI Pattern Editor software, which allows for intricate pattern customization. While not inexpensive, the MF-105M’s enhanced capabilities justify the investment, appealing to both studio and stage musicians.

“What have we got here... MoogerFooger MurF, which is a nice pedal. It's got a step sequencer of frequencies on it so you can clock to the cv gates. Throw your sounds through and move the frequencies and get different types of steps running through those frequencies while midi clocked. I really like that one."
