Murf is truly a many tone in one pedal.
A short description of it from HC effect forum post..

The MuRF is capable of both rhythmic and smooth changing, swirling effects. The Filter has 8 bands with slider control over gain of the center frequency of each filter. It has dual outputs with 4 bands left and four right. As a Filter alone there are hundreds of combinations of tonal varieties along with some great tremolo sounds with expression pedal control over filter frequency shift and Rate. There are filter sweeps that the world has never heard from any analog filter pedal. The MuRF has them.
The MuRF has 8 Envelope Generators, one for each filter They can be controlled by a foot pedal. This is the heart of control of the pedal. As changes there dictate the end result of tweakage. From a sharp attack and decay for stutter sounds to long attack and decay for backwards type sounds. The envelope control goes from a stutter sound up through rhythmic pulses that become lighter till various sounding filter sweeps then a backwards sweep sound. All this can be modulated by an LFO foot control. The LFO modulation of the sweep randomly affects the filter.
The Animator control has 24 patterns with 2 Banks of 12. Actually 22 Patterns because each Bank has a setting for filter use with no pattern. Each slider's gain control can alter the rhythm pattern. I would listen to the pattern with all the sliders up. Then move all of them off and start selecting which frequency bands I wanted to accent in any pattern. The manual shows what frequencies are sounded at each Step in graphic layout and how many total Steps in each Pattern.
The Tap Tempo works with a simple momentary switch and Moog makes one. Tapping 3 times activates the feature. The MuRF calculates the time between taps. The MuRF plays back any tap tempo at twice it's rate. So quarter notes become eight notes. The MuRF is yet another great effects pedal from the mind of Bob Moog.
Here are the names of the patterns:
Bank A
1. No Animation
2. Upward Staircase
3. Downward Cascade
4. Crisscross
5. Tremolo
6. Upward Bounce
7. Brownian Motion
8. Random-Like
9. Double Up and Down
10. Downward Band Expansion
11. Polyrhythm
12. Rhythmicon
Bank B
1. No Animation-with LFO
2. Downward Staircase
3. Upward Cascade
4. Down and Up
5. Come Together
6 Seesaw Panner
7. Rising Falling
8. Pulsar
9. Upward Notch
10. Growing and Shrinking Band
11. Double Cascade
12. Inverted Rhythmicon
