I haven’t used one, but the T-Wrex seems to be worth a look if you haven’t already!

If you can find one (and at a good price), OTO Biscuit is a killer and super useful bitcrusher/8-bit effects/analog multimode filter. And yes, stereo in and out!

Otherwise (not a pedal tho) the T-Wrex (as suggested above) would be pretty rad, and could be used as stereo with its two inputs/outputs.

A friend of mine has a Meris Ottobit that he uses on a bass guitar, sounds great and definitely worth checking out.

This little fella was made for morphagene.

Just bought a Morphagene so I’ve been checking out the thread in excited anticipation…

For sample rate/bit crush effects you can also use a sample and hold and LFO (2 modules found in most systems).

Run your audio into the input of the S+H, then clock the S+H with the LFO (ideally a Square Wave) to determine sample rate :+1:

If you’ve got a voltage controlled LFO, you could also use the CV out from the Morphagene to control the LFO, giving a dynamic sample rate reduction effect on your audio. That would be pretty cool!

I’ve been loving the Cv out for clocking delays - it can sound wild, but still related to to sonic structures from the Morphagene.

yeah utilizing the CV out is key to most of my morphagene patches. using it to trigger loop on my delay a lot lately.

This patch is absoulutely beautiful! Have watched the video a few times over the past few months. Exactly the kind of stuff I want to be doing with my modular. Can I ask if what’s shown in the video matches the audio? Sounds more complicated and layered than it looks. Could you elaborate on the patch at all?

I’m getting ready for a live sound art performance and it will star the morphagene. Curious as to how people prepare and play their samples?

I don’t plan on sampling anything live, just to have reels loaded up. So far, it seems the most useful is to have a single longer reel with many splices, using sift and organize to navigate. Borders on the too chaotic, but fairly controllable.

What are your experiences?

Usually I prepare one reel for each song on the setlist. I use Reaper to splice them and then I put all files on the SD card. It’s the easiest and fastest way to manage reels and splices.

I’ve been thinking about live stuff too. My setup will be Octatrack and heavily Morphagene based 104hp modular setup. I’ve moved from live jam-type of thing to building my tracks more in the DAW, so my plan is to use Octatrack to work with stems and add more experimental and improvisational stuff from the modular. I think I’ll settle for playing prerecorded Morphagene stems from Octatrack because reproducing stuff with Morphagene seems quite a hassle, but also uploading that stuff to Morphagene too so I can make something new with the same material. I’m also gettin w/ which I plan to use as a bank of material for Morphagene. Maybe recording bunch of individual stems to it and letting it play freely, so I can pull out some unexpected yet related audio fodder for Morphagene. I have no idea how well this will work, but I’m excited to find out.

And how are you playing through your splices? Very planned out using Organize? Kind of random using Shift?

Not quite sure how to ask what I’m wondering: mostly how people are strategizing morphagene performances, I guess!

#73

I usually send a really slow gate from PNW to organize in order to switch through splices in a more uniformed manner.

I don’t perform live with mine, but do find it nice to be able to either shift or organise at different rates, or hold back on the CV control if I find something nice to explore in a splice. I also like to keep splices short (often single notes or hits) for that microsound scanning effect on slide - that with slow delays for layering is a nice way to build up something richer.

Sometimes I use gates from Muxslicer to control shift, sometimes lfos with attenuation / offset into organise, sometimes more chaotic patterns from self-patched rampage.

Thinking about it, something like Joranalogue Switch 4 would be great for mixing control voltage sources for Morphagene…

Count me as another one who has bitten the bullet and jumped into eurorack just because of morphagene… I spent some hours trying to recreate it in max, but the level of detail on some of the buffer management and playback sequencing got complex enough that I thought I was better off just buying the damn thing…

This is roughly my starting point, once all of the pieces arrive:

you’ll not be upset, morpha was also the thing that dragged me kicking and screaming back into euro (for the third time :sob:)

I just made 4 new Morphagene reels and uploaded to freesound - Cannon Fodder, Ciat Concrete, Percussive Buchla 200e and Ciat Textures. Enjoy the sounds of contact mics, cuts, scrapes, bangs, scratches, clicks, drones, Buchla 200e and creaky hissy lofi Ciat Lonbarde instruments https://freesound.org/people/mudlogger/ other links to my music here https://linktr.ee/mudlogger

I recently got w/ to accompany my Morphagene and it’s pretty great. So far I’ve only used it as pretty simple audio recorder and storage, recording stuff from Morphagene (and elsewhere on the system) to it and back to Morphagene and so on. I have to get more into the cv control stuff and integration, but with the amount of audio the w/ can hold it feels like a good source of material for Morphagene.

At 2hp, 2hp’s Freez can get a little dusty. Especially if you send your audio through it’s SRR and then sample from there into the Morphagene.

Does anyone use Mutable Frames with their Morphagene? I want to be able to keyframe set speeds (eg x0.5, x1, x2) to recall quickly (without having to find the green light…). Assuming Frames would do this for me? Any other ways spring to mind?
