MIDI MuRF VST Controller
Windows / Mac OSX VST control plug-in
Installation instructions:
Windows – Unzip Murf_Controller.dll and place it in your VST plug-ins folder
[example: C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTplugins].
Mac OSX – Unzip MuRF_VST_Controller.vst and place it in your VST plug-ins folder.
This should be Macintosh HD>Library>Audio>Plug-Ins>VST.
How to use this plug-in:
The MuRF Controller plug-in provides an interface for you to automate and control the
parameters of the MIDI MuRF from within your VST-compatible sequencer or DAW
software. Turning knobs on the plug-in or automating its parameters will cause the
plug-in to output MIDI Control messages to control the MIDI MuRF hardware.
In order for the MuRF Controller to control the MuRF, you must route the MIDI output
from the plug-in to a physical MIDI output device connected to your computer. The
MIDI output device must also be connected to the MIDI MuRF.
Routing MIDI output from the plug-in to your MIDI output device is usually done by
creating an additional MIDI track in your sequencer. For example, in Ableton Live it
might look something like this:

MIDI Routing in Cubase
In Cubase, your setup might look similar to this (screen capture from Cubase 5):
In this case, the MuRF Controller is loaded via the “VST Instruments” panel in Cubase.
Track 1 is the MIDI track which is routing MIDI output from the MuRF Controller plugin
to the outside world; you can see on the right where the MIDI source is the
MuRF_Controller and MIDI destination is a Sound Blaster MPU-401 MIDI output.
In the lower right of this image, you can see an example of parameter automation using
the MuRF_Controller plugin in Cubase. Here you can draw in synchronized automation
moves for all MuRF parameters, using Cubase’s standard tools for plugin automation.
Automating MuRF parameters in Ableton Live:
Live allows you to automate parameters within each MIDI clip while in Session View,
and also allows parameter automation on the timeline for an entire MIDI Track while in
the Arrange view. These two types of automation interact in a very important way:
