HWJ - BANJAM - THAT BEAT


video upload by FL3SHB4CK

"Hardaware Jam Challenge: BANJAM

Still exploring the fantastic possibilities of the Bishop's Misc Mk2, the instant riff maker (deserved nickname imo) It sequences here 2 voices of the Kermit Mk3 (factory simple waveforms)
Battering Ram and AHH for drums
Pam for clock and mod

Recorded live thru Syntakt inputs with delay and reverb"

Behringer Murf Box on synth (no talk)


video upload by Richard DeHove

"Behringer's BM-15M Murf Box - now renamed as the BM-15M Resonant Filter - is a clone of the Moog Moogerfooger MF-105 MuRF. I bought this pedal thinking it might be a more interesting replacement for my Boss SL-2 Slicer. Why did I want to replace the Slicer? Because the Slicer has a few things that slightly irritate me. In hindsight, a pitiful motivation since the Murf Box has an equal number of small irritating things.

First, if you bypass the effect you only get sound out of one channel. That's irritating. It's huge, the knobs are hard to read, I don't love the EQ, the way the envelope works is odd, there's no compression on the drive, and you can't adjust the LFO without an expression pedal. Not that I entirely blame Behringer, I also blame Moog since these are all present on the OG Murf. But of course all the actual blame rests with me for not being satisfied with the Boss Slicer.

Not that the Murf sounds bad. It's a rather interesting, gritty, unusual and reasonably versatile machine. I think rather my expectations were pumped up to the same artificial heights as the OG Moogerfooger reputation and prices.

Here the Murf is receiving a MIDI clock and the expression pedal is connected to the LFO rate. The volume varies a lot depending on the EQ, mix and drive settings - and seems to fade away a bit toward the end of the video - but I thought it best to keep these as-is to show real usage.

Originally I was going to do a comparison between the Murf Box and the Boss Slicer with lots of talk. But knowing that hearing me talk too much annoys some people, and that merely showing a Behringer product will guarantee a percentage of automatic dislikes, I thought it wiser to start with a plain audio demo. I'll do a comparison with the Slicer very soon (unless everyone hates this video) since I think there's a lot of overlap and interesting design contrasts between the pedals.

0:00 Intro ditty
1:00 Twiddlings
3:30 Drone
4:06 EQ fun
4:56 Envelope
5:50 Many tweakings

Many thanks to my kind patrons who keep this channel ad-free

"Fantastic analog drum machine, sounds very similar to the 808.

Separate volumes, programmability, and variations for instant rhythm adjustment.

A little gem, very beautiful to play live thanks to its ability to interact with rhythms.

Clock out and dinsync in/out.

Fully functional and in excellent cosmetic condition."

Touch strip sequencing is fun!
