Morphagene advice

Dogma · 2020-08-14T07:54:40.167Z

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.

You apply the update by playing that audio file through a patch cable, not placing it on the SD card.

Follow these steps:

Thank you both - I knew I had to play the .wav file into morphagene, ive updated a few modules over the years it just wasn’t clear that the morphagene populated that file AFTER the FW update, but after the update and a power down and up and again, it populated
Its like a new new module for Me. Massive update

I just ran into a really weird issue with Morphagene today. I recorded something into Morphagene a couple days ago hoping to come back to it today, but it was gone. However something I recorded a week ago that I deleted was in its place. I looked through reel mode just in case to see if it was there, but nothing.

This is so bizarre. Has this happened to anyone else?

Hiya, I have hundreds of prepared samples that are all different bit and sample rates, could I batch convert them to 48 & 32 bit rate to load into the Morphagene without any problems? I understand they need to be in this format to be read. Wondering what the device does if the samples aren’t actually at those rates but formatted to be. thanks!

That is ace. Should help you along…

Had anyone used an SD card reader and an iPad for reel/splice management?

If so, what app should I use?

Thanks!

You can just use the built in file browser in iOS (though I’m not sure which version this was introduced with , iOS 13 maybe?).

I use it for firmware updates on sd card based devices too

If you also want to edit the config file there are a few editor apps- I’ve been using koder

avantworld · 2022-08-17T19:11:50.238Z

thanks!

what app do you recommend to chop up samples and/or add markers?

corygrunk · 2022-08-19T22:52:53.440Z

I think Reaper (Mac and Windows) is the only way to add splice markers to samples outside of hitting the Splice button.

Logic also works. And there’s some python(?) script that works with ableton live

kasselvania · 2022-08-19T22:56:51.189Z

Adobe Audition works and I believe Audacity does too

mattymattmatt · 2022-08-19T23:40:55.344Z

I’ve actually been having trouble using Adobe apps to add markers as of late, and MN confirmed that it’s a thing. Super frustrating.

You can use the reel assembler from here: Morphagene options
Runs in your browser (no upload to a server) and it works on iOS.

@dspk

When I talk to my micro SD card reader into my iPad and opened the files app, I didn’t see any recognition of the micro SD card. do I need to do something specific when after I open the files app?

Does koder directly browse the SD card so I can open up and edit the text file?

Hello,
I have a question about Morphagene and the interaction with other modules. For example if I record an external sequence into morphagene and mangle it and the sequence continues in the background it’s very difficult to find the right tempo that fits the original sequence. Are there any tricks for this?

I have another question. Is there a function that the recording in morphagene only starts when a noise arrives at the input or does the recording start whenever record is pressed?

Thanks

I’ve found that if you patch the same clock to the morphegene and the sequencer that things line up pretty good. Clocking the morphegene will quantize the recording start and stop times. The slicing that is available under the gene size knob then is metrically related as it is subdividing that quantized length. Some morph settings will get off time a bit as they blur or leave a gap. I generally set the morph knob at about 10% to start.

(sorry for slow response . wasn;'t checking the forum much!!)

have you checked the SD card reader? (i.e. do other cards show up ok?)

what OS are you on?

in the files app the card should show up in the list on the left (below “on my ipad” usually) then you select the txt file and share with Koder

avantworld · 2022-09-12T01:52:46.410Z

It’s weird, I didn’t see it in Files the first time
I tried. Perhaps it was the order that I plugged things in or opened them up.

Koder worked like a charm.

Thanks for your help!
