The knob at the center of Morphagene enclosed by two eye-catching LED windows is Vari-Speed, which controls the speed and direction of playback for reels. This control also determines what is recorded when overdubbing a reel, making it very helpful for creating interesting layering. Changes to the other parameters like vari-speed and morph can be heard when SOS is clockwise. This is useful for monitoring what is about to be recorded into a reel.Īs the knob is turned clockwise you begin to hear the current reel playing back. Turned fully counterclockwise, any incoming signal is heard full volume without any effect. This knob at the top of the panel controls what you hear from Morphagene. With some practice, these concepts become second nature when using the module. If all this seems a little complex, don’t worry! Morphagene is laid out in such a way that getting started is easy after you know what all of the controls can do. The Morph knob controls the playback and overlapping of genes, hence the name: Morphagene! By default, a gene takes up a whole splice, but the Gene Size knob determines how long a gene is relative to the whole splice. Splices loop automatically, which makes Morphagene a simple and effective looper as well. Splices are created by pressing the splice button, which divides the reel at the point in the audio when it is pressed. They can be the length of the whole reel or multiple subsections of it. Reels can be recorded directly into the module or prepared on a computer and uploaded with the included SD card (more on that process later). Reels are the largest sections of audio that Morgphagene works with, they can be up to 2.9 minutes long. Knowing how each of these segments of audio work is crucial to understanding the unit’s operation. The module divides this parameter into 3 classes reels, splices, and genes. It’s also been our home decorating theory for a while - everything is pretty standard leaning towards minimalist but with one weird thing in the room.As a “tape and microsound” machine, Morphagene works on different levels in regard to the scale and time of audio it samples or plays back. Maybe the strike adds something there? Modules that break the design tend to break it in the all weird direction - Telharmonic, Mysterion. Here’s how you use it in a sentence, “Tom Erbe follows a food truck model for algo design - basic…but…with a twist that makes it wildly different.”ĭefinitely true for all the Erbe modules, but it still holds true for Rene (it’s a sequencer…but…carrrrtesian), STO (wave folder?)…DPO breaks the model a tiny bit because it follows the pattern for “complex oscillator” pretty closely. I’m coining a phrase here, “ food truck design”.
