I just want you to know that this video singlehandedly saved my love for the Morphagene, and turned it from "cool module that sounds pretty neat at times" to "indispensable source of tape loops, generation of new patterns, and all around compositional workhorse." Thank you. The jam at the end with the rotating clocks was super cool too!
Great demo. Having a hard time fitting Morphagene into my work flow. Finding it's only useful for loops if you set up like this. Otherwise just nice for textures. Still have some exploring to do.
Nice video. Why tap in the speed when you have Tempi? Tapping kind of defeats the point of having Tempi. Let it quickly calculate 1/2, 1/4, 1/16 etc for you. MACHINE Programming is simple: [Hold] PGM_A for DIVISIONS (÷) or PGM_B for MULTIPLES (*) and [tap] the associated Channel Button the number of times corresponding to the desired DIVISION (÷) or MULTIPLE (*).
I am just starting to learn about this module after a bit of a hiatus from my Eurorack system. I am thinking about buying one. The one step that seems fiddly to me is tapping the recording in and out. Perhaps this could be achieved automatically with some sort of one-shot logic...
Nice explanatory video :) I'm still uncomfortable with sequencers but I think a Morphagene or Phonogene would be a great step for me to turn my modular into more of a compositional tool. Maybe a sequencer will find it's way in there too eventually :)
...Great Video, but there is one thing I don‘t understand. When Tempi sends a Gate to the play input, It‘s like a pulse, half way up an half way down, so Morphagene stops after half of the playback. How did. you solve this problem? Thanks
This might be a firmware thing. When I made this video, I had an old version of the firmware in which the splices would always play to the end on each gate. Newer firmware will allow you to change that behavior to where the splice only plays when the gate is high, and ceases to play when the gate is low. The newer firmware allows you to make some initial settings right on the SD card so there are more options to mess with.
I'm recording into a new splice, which is a key combination. New firmware that was released after this video was made, has the option of recording into a new splice with just the rec button (without the key combination), or a gate.
