The MFB Urzwerg Pro step-sequencer has been inspired by feature requests and suggestions of many users to ensure better flexibility than ever. Most prominently, it offers output of MIDI-notes and MIDI-controllers as well as 32 individual step LEDs to keep track of the sequences status.

The MFB Urzwerg Pro offers 32 steps that can either be used for 2 sequences with up to 16 steps each or with 4 sequences with up to 8 steps each. You may control up to 4 synthesizers or CV-controllable parameters in an analogue modular system simultaneously. Using the MIDI-output allows to address 4 separate synthesizers or multitimbral parts in a single synthesizer. In addition, you may play your MIDI-synth with 2, 3 or voices polyphony. When playing it duo-phonically, the 2 remaining tracks can be used to control velocity and mod-wheel-data (MIDI-CC 01). Using it with 3 polyphonic voices still allows for velocity control.

In 4 x 8 mode, the MFB Urzwerg Pro can control up to 4 individual Nanozwerg synths using CV/Gate. As another example, you can also control and individually modulate pitch, pulse width, filter-cutoff and LFO-speed in MFB's Kraftzwerg. Finally, using Urzwerg Pro in combination with a modular synthesizer-system will allow for even more versatile options. The Urzwerg Pros Gate/CV inputs are fully compatible to all common eurorack-format modular systems.

The use of MIDI allows similar applications as using CV/Gate connections but will add further functionality. Sounds can be played polyphonically with up to 4 voices. Using Urzwerg Pro duo-phonically or as dual-monophonic, you can use the remaining 2 MIDI-controllers to output velocity and mod-wheel-data in parallel with the first 2 tracks. In a CV/Gate-based synthesizer, all parameters with CV input can be addressed directly. On the contrary, MIDI-control through Urzwerg Pro always also depends on the routing-options of the connected instrument.

The MFB Urzwerg Pro was designed for intuitive operation. All functions feature designated controls for editing while the sequencer is running. For best overview, the Urzwerg Pro features LEDs per step. These LEDs do not only visualize the sequence current position but also the skip-buttons' status. While setting the MIDI-channel and the operating modes, these LEDs also function as a display.

When using the MFB Urzwerg Pro on stage, you can set, edit and remove steps live. In addition, you can also modify the sequences' directions and their individual lengths. As a new feature, the Urzwerg Pro has a random-function to playback a row's steps at random. Another novelty is the auto-glide-function.

Furthermore, the MFB Urzwerg Pro allows setting of independent gate-lengths, ranges and glides for rows 1/2 and 3/4. Range defines the CV-range for the step-knobs between 1-10V. For pitch control, the range up to 5V can be quantized. MFB have added 4 different scalings to choose from: semitones, whole tones, pentatonic and hexatonic.

All 4 rows feature skip-buttons per step to activate/deactivate gate-triggers for these positions. Alternatively, the skip-buttons can also deactivate the CV-step-control. To add more liveliness, the Urzwerg Pro also offers 2 optimized shuffle-modes.

The MFB Urzwerg Pro provides 4 Gate & CV outputs to control compatible analogue synthesizers and modular systems. Start-I/O and Clock-I/O allow Urzwerg Pro to be synchronized to and sync other analogue sequencers. The additional CV-Clock input allows for dynamic tempo-control, e.g. using an external LFO or a CV-controller. To sync Urzwerg Pro via MIDI, the unit can send and receive start/stop-commands as well as MIDI-clock. In addition, it is possible to transpose sequences and address individual steps using a MIDI-keyboard or DAW.
