Has anyone tried one out?

Do you mean the MF-105B Bass MuRF? I haven't tried either the regular or bass version. I like the MF-101 Low Pass Filter on bass though!

I meant the MuRF indeed. Is there a big difference between both? I guess the MuRF can do what the Low Pass Filter can do and more?

There's an interesting thread that hints at what the Bass MuRF can do (as well as what it can't) here at the Moog Music Forum.

The Low Pass Filter can be controlled by the built-in envelope follower, by an expression pedal, or by other control voltages (CV), which is where it starts to get really fun. For example, if you have a sample-and-hold unit (as found in the CP-251), then you can get a sound similar to Frank Zappa's "Ships Ahoy" or as found in this clip: .

To tell the truth, I'm not sure if the Bass MuRF can be used purely as a low-pass filter. You might want to dig around at the Moog Music Forum - there might be some soundclips that people have posted.

Thanks, I'll take a look!
