Hey all,
Subject says it all, if i want to use the murf with moog (but also maybe a little with guitar) - would the bass murf be more appropriate for handling that earth-shattering low end?
Many thanks, b
I have a voyager and a regular murf and I generally find the midrange (from 450Hz up) to be where the most interesting textural stuff seems to occur. As a result, I tend to use it almost exclusively on midrange sounds.
But then I wouldn’t use it on bass sounds anyway. For one thing, it definitely removes bass if used fully wet. But, in any event, I usually avoid using modulation effects on bass (they tend to rob bass sounds of their punch). And unlike a chorus or phaser which may occasionally attenuate the bass frequencies, the murf’s entire approach revolves around attenuating and boosting frequencies so it will do this regularly, indeed predictably
When I do use the murf with bassier sounds, its to add movement and emphasis to the upper harmonics of the sound. I generally preserve the bottom end by balancing the murf’s output with the dry signal. So again, it’s the upper sliders that tend to get used most.
If I was buying a murf now, I am sure that I would take a long hard look at the bass murf, but I suspect that I might end up with a regular murf anyway. If I had the cash I’d probably get the bass murf as well. But either way I am sure you won’t regret it: it’s a really cool effect…
hope that helps,
Good point. I have the regular MuRF and it does incredible things with the V’ger. I would suspect the Bass MuRF would be good as well, but one would get more use from the regular MuRF. It really can mangle sounds, and the results are quite useful.
