Zynaptiq has announced the release of a major update to its plugin that takes two input sounds and creates a new, hybrid sound that features characteristics of both.
Morph 3 and Morph 3 Pro can smoothly transition from one to the other.
It is the magic sauce that the chainsaw guitars* of the awesome DOOM soundtrack, the haunting, organic alien voices of Arrival, the hyper-real flying cars of Blade Runner 2049 and the intense sonic universe of Star Citizen have in common.
Used by music artists like Au5 to create the cutting edge of bass music, MORPH is a must-have for making new sounds, vocals or instruments for your music, or designing farout creature voices, alien hardware, futuristic ambiences and drones or Lazer-Driven Bosonic Field Polarization Coils – you name it, MORPH has you covered.
*: Yes, that’s right…c-h-a-i-n-s-a-w guitars. In DOOM. How cool is that??
The update extends the classic’s sonic bandwidth even further, adding new algorithms, a patent-pending realtime style transfer module, file playback, transient bypass functionality, a redesigned and scalable UI, and more.
New in Morph 3
- 4 New morphing algorithms: INTERWEAVE V3, IMPRINT SMOOTH, IMPRINT CRYSTAL, and ENHARMONIC. The entire suite of V2 algorithms is included, too, of course, for a total of 9 algorithms.
- New MODELER module that provides particle/granular synthesis based style transfer functionality, as well as straight file playback.
- Improved FORMANT SHIFTER with +-24 semitones of range; the v2 formant shift algorithm can be activated for the v2 algorithms to get the exact same v2 sound, using a prefs setting.
- New TRANSIENT BYPASS module that can significantly improve the morphing results. The transients are taken at the A and B inputs to the morphing, and added back in, with their mix controlled by the morphing X/Y control. The transients can be boosted, and may also bypass the formant shifter for increased crispness.
- Optional internal double precision processing – internal processing can be switched to 64 bit for increased resolution.
- New soft-knee output limiter.
- Redesigned, scalable UI with interactive-signal-flow-diagram design, built using vector graphics for sharp visuals when zooming, with up to 200% UI scaling for 4k and larger displays.
- New Preset Manager application.
- Previous/Next Preset can now be controlled via MIDI for improved accessibility.
- Morph 3 Pro: 2 additional morphing algorithms: FUSION and SONANCE, for a total of 11 algorithms.
- Morph 3 Pro: A multi-zone mapping editor and additional analysis features for advanced control of the MODELER module.
- Morph 3 Pro: An additional DETAIL algorithm for the TRANSIENT BYPASS module.
- Morph 3 Pro: Lowcut/highcut filters for all mixer channels.
Available for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX), Morph 3 and Morph 3 Pro are available to purchase from Plugin Boutique and at the Zynaptiq store for $169 USD/179 EUR and $279 USD/309 EUR, respectively. Upgrades are available to owners of Morph 2 and various bundles.
