I made a semi-elegant solution for the āgreen favoringā issue:
My problem is that I donāt want to have the ability to accidentally bump the pitch knob and send it away from green, then have to hunt for green in a performance or while Iām recording something. With the help of some other modules I can now have the pitch knob jacked to one end and the cv input attenuator jack to another, this eliminates any chance of bumping it while playing the Morphagene.
What I did is send a static voltage from Stages in orange mode of a stage, to a passive attenuator, then into the Morphagene pitch input. With the static voltage all the way up on Stages, and the pitch and cv attenuator knobs fully clockwise and counterclockwise, the only variable to select voltage is the external attenuator. You donāt need the attenuator, but Stages is also touchy and easy to bump while playing as well. The attenuator I have, SSF/WMD, has really solid pots that have some resistance to turning, AND I removed the pot knob, to make it more difficult to accidentally move. You can use any voltage source for this, Maths works, but again, I move around alot in Maths and I also find it easy to bump.
As an added bonus, with Stages, when you move the attenuator fader all the way to zero, the pitch on the Morphagen moves to blue, which is one octave up. AND, when when you flip the pitch knob on the Morphagene all the way to the left, you get one octave up in reverse. So I have 3 easily attainable presets now.
Iām thinking of building a really simple module, with a 4 position switch, 4 inputs, 4 pots, and 1 output to create a simple voltage storage selection module. My electronics skills are limited to modding guitar pedals and tube amps, so it would be pretty primitive, but I think it would work.
