MF-105M MIDI MuRF

Pattern Editor/Controller

TRIPLETS on/off changes the MIDI clock division options when the MIDI MuRF is synchronized to MIDI
clock. Normally, the available clock divisions are as listed in the MIDI MuRF manual, including several
"triplet" time bases. In some cases you may want to change the clock divisions "live" using the Rate knob
or another controller, and the triplet settings could throw your groove off of the downbeat. If you turn off
TRIPLETS, these clock divisions are removed from the list, and only evenly-divisible clock divisions will
be selected.

FILE Menu

The MuRF Panel not only provides live control of the MIDI MuRF parameters, it allows you to save and
restore these settings as well. The FILE menu on the MuRF Panel allows you to "Save Single MuRF
Panel" and "Load Single MuRF Panel." These options will save and restore the settings of all of the
knobs, sliders and switches on the MuRF Panel, with the exception of the Bypass switch which is not
saved or restored. The FILE menu also allows you to access a Playlist, where you can arrange a group of
saved Panel and Pattern settings for quick access.

Murf Pattern Editor

This is where the magic happens. Create and save an infinite number of custom MuRF patterns to your
computer, and load up to 22 of your custom patterns at a time into the MIDI MuRF's internal memory. To
access the Pattern Editor, click the PATTERNS button on the menu bar at the top of the MuRF Panel.

Editing Patterns In The Pattern Editor

Click to add or remove steps on the pattern grid, and listen to the result. Each row of the grid represents
ON or OFF steps for a single filter band. The frequency of each filter band can be seen to the left of the
pattern grid. The vertical columns of the grid represent evenly-spaces steps in time.

IMPORTANT NOTE: the length (in steps) of each row is completely independent. When you first load a
pattern and start the MuRF's pattern clock, all pattern rows will begin at the same time on step 1, but after
that each pattern row will cycle for however many steps you set per row, independent of the length of any
other row. This allows for extremely complex poly-rhythms and cyclical, moving relationships between
pattern rows.
