depending on your case/1U format selection, the Intellijel 1U Noise Tools would fit the bill pretty well.

Interesting. I’m still getting comfortable with combining CV sources to produce results like that, so that didn’t occur to me. It looks like I can cobble those utilities together purely from pulplogic tiles without encroaching on my 3u space at all.

Would 1 of each here suffice (along with a CV mixer), or would it be especially helpful to have two different noise sources?

Yeah, I’m using a pulplogic case, otherwise that would have been where I went with it.

One noise source should be fine. Although it’s nice if that can give you different types of noise.

If it was my case, I’d want more CV control over the various parameters than those tiles will give you. Patching the output of a random module back into one of its CV inputs is something worth exploring.

You might also consider what you’re going to trigger the sample and hold(s) with. I guess Ansible could do that (I’m not really aware of its feature set) or you might consider a CV’able LFO/Clock module.

Just curious whilst watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiYM8IdI01c&list=PLyWVLB2iuZON7XnFJifk2_-uEpfOp8X5i&index=5
What does the “splices”/“organize” feature give you over just “reel” + “gene”? Just another way to randomize?
It seems to me being able to choose the “reel” and the “gene” would’ve been enough?

You can’t change reels via cv. I think that the reel is loaded into memory, and then organise lets you navigate between splices in real time within that memory. So you could use gene size and slide to pin down a certain part of a splice for a drone, so example, and then use organise to jump splices but stay at the same equivalent position in that splice. So one control navigates splices, the other two/three move within that splice.

You can CV to change reels while in Reel Mode, on MN user manual page 28:

To select a Reel, enter Reel Mode by holding the Splice Button and
pressing the REC Button. While using Reel Mode, it is important to
remove or turn o modulation to REC, Splice, Shift, and Organize.

Note: If no microSD Card is present, then only one Reel may be created, Reel mode cannot be entered.

While in Reel mode, the Organizecontrol and CV Inputs are used to select the Reel that is loaded into the Morphagene.

Hope this help.

I’m also interested in these small Morphagene setups. I caught a couple of the makes from this thread of small cases. What ones out there do people recommend?

Thanks!

First post, hey everyone! Just got a 54hp zissou case and was going to start with a Morphagene, but the w/ is very tempting especially because of the the size. Thinking something like this! Great thread.image

Just as a heads-up @Virtual_Flannel, the Intellijel 1u modules are not compatible with the pulplogic cases 1u rows without some modification (I think you’d have to grind down or otherwise reduce the panel height).

Did some research I think the intellijel 1u are smaller so you can only screw in one side and there is an ugly gap, but it still works. Was thinking they should make little fillers that you could put in the space over top.

Look who it is! Welcome @Virtual_Flannel ! I knew it was only a matter of time. :slight_smile:
I’m looking forward to see your adventures in modular. :+1:

Thanks for the warm welcome homie!

Thinking of making my way into modular with a small case based around the Morphagene, so bumping this thread for some advice :blush:

My idea is to mainly use it for live manipulation together with op-1/organelle. I’ll probably record stuff to it and use it on it’s own as well though so I want to pair it with a module that would give me a lot of interesting options for modulation.

Keeping it simple to start off. Would Pamelas New Workout be a good companion? Or perhaps the Wogglebug is better?

Also, would i need som kind of module like 4ms listen io to get the levels right?

pam’s is good if you don’t mind some relatively straightforward menu diving.
I enjoy Batumi a lot with it.

Morphagene has auto leveling, though it is a little tricky. You’d need some sort of mic amp though if you wanted a microphone hooked up, and then something to get the sound out of the whole system. I use 4MS Listen. It’s good. I really enjoy the morphagene, for what it is worth.

I have Morphagene and ResEQ too, what a wonderful combo. Slight warble modulation on the speed and “tuning” the sound with the eq bands sounds so lovely. It can really make the sounds sing.

I have a question for Morphagene users; it appears as if I cannot record in to a new splice. I have something playing, hold down record and press splice. I then do all my junk. Then I press record again, to stop recording. The shift light blinks, but I have no new splices on my reel. The splice window stays that original blue all the way through. Am I missing something?

Edit: Found my issue; bought it used, options.txt were not factory settings.

That’s the only special setting i use! just press record to record into a new splice :slight_smile:

I could see the being useful. That way, you’re always preserving the original, even if you’re just overdubbing with a new record… everything goes in a new splice… plus, 3 min is a long time! Even if you’re going for the TLA

I think I might go back to that setting, now that I realized what was actually happening. Haha.

hey liners - I was hoping someone may be able to help me out here - I just got a morphagene and im trying to update to the latest firmware but I noticed the SD card that came with it has a nearly empty options.txt file - just one line

1 32768 0

ive searched far and wide and I have no idea how to populate it (the FW update is .wav file and doesn’t require the sd card.)

Super confused

Do the update procedure and then Morphagene will populate the file with parameters.
