Behringer has reintroduced the BM-15M Resonance Filter, a knockoff of the Moog MF-105 MuRF pedal.
The pedal was originally introduced as the BM-15M MURF Box, but was shortly later pulled from the market. We haven’t seen any explanation from Behringer on this yet, but it looks like copying the ‘MURF’ name may have been a legal liability.
Like the Moog original, the pedal is designed to let you create resonant filter effects, and to let you animate these effects rhythmically.
Features:
- 8 Filters with selectable patterns
- Based on the Moog MF-105 from the ’90s
- Envelope control
- USB/MIDI control
- Rate control for modulation speed
- Resonance control for enhanced filter effect
- Mix control for blending between input signal and MURF output
- Expression pedal input for real-time control
At least some of the initial batch of Behringer’s MuRF knockoff had noise issues, as documented by Starsky Carr in his A/B comparison. Hopefully this issue was addressed with the name update.
Pricing and Availability:
The BM-15M Resonance Filter is shipping now from their factory, priced at $129 USD outside the US, and $50 more ($179) for US buyers.
MuRF is a registered US trademark (76597692). Originally filed by Moog, now owned by InMusic.
BuRF
Great price!
To quote Moe Howard (of The Three Stooges),
“We always get it right the second time!”
I will forever refer to this as the Burf.
So US buyers are getting the “premium price point”? Pay more for the same features. Sounds like an amazing deal ?
Winning bigly.
Tariffs
Well, the great thing is that when I buy this, it’s actually China that’s paying the extra $50!
… uh, hang on …
Bammond Organ coming soon? Is that a hint in the background of the studio?
A Burlitzer electric piano doesn’t sound like a bad idea. My old drummer had a vomit green Wurlitzer that sounded amazing. Weighed a ton though.
Voting for a moron , pay moronic prices. Hahahahahahah
How about the BaRF ?
A missed opportunity to name it BARF
The only company to spend more on legal than R&D
