Zynaptiq Morph 3 and Morph 3 Pro Released
Following their announcement last month, Zynaptiq have now released Morph 3 which sees a massive update to the popular sound design tool and a new Pro version. We have the details…
According to Zynaptiq, Morph is the ‘magic sauce’ responsible for the chainsaw guitars in the Doom soundtrack, the haunting, organic alien voices of Arrival, the flying cars of Blade Runner 2049 and many more. Now available in two versions - Morph 3 and Morph 3 Pro, the plugin takes two input sounds and creates a new hybrid sound that features characteristics of both, that can smoothly transition from one to the other.
The update extends the former version’s sonic bandwidth even further, adding new algorithms, a patent-pending real-time ‘style transfer’ module, file playback, transient bypass functionality, a redesigned and scalable UI, and much, much more.
New Features In Both Morph 3 And Morph 3 Pro
4 new morphing algorithms: – Interweave 3, Imprint Smooth, Imprint Crystal and Enharmonic. The entire suite of V2 algorithms is included too for a total of 9 algorithms.
New MODELER module that provides particle/granular synthesis based ‘style transfer’ functionality, as well as straight file playback.
Improved FORMANT SHIFTER with +-24 semitones of range; the v2 formant shift algorithm can be activated for the v2 algorithms to get the exact same v2 sound, using a prefs setting.
New TRANSIENT BYPASS module that can significantly improve the morphing results. The transients are taken at the A and B inputs to the morphing, and added back in, with their mix controlled by the morphing X/Y control. The transients can be boosted, and may also bypass the formant shifter for increased crispness.
Optional internal double precision processing - internal processing can be switched to 64 bit for increased resolution.
New soft-knee output limiter.
Redesigned, scalable UI with interactive-signal-flow-diagram design, built using vector graphics for sharp visuals when zooming, with up to 200% UI scaling for 4k and larger displays.
New Preset Manager application
Previous/Next Preset can now be controlled via MIDI for improved accessibility.
Those opting for the Pro edition can also take advantage of…
2 additional morphing algorithms – Fusion and Sonance, for a total of 11 algorithms.
A multi-zone mapping editor and additional analysis features for advanced control of the MODELER module.
An additional DETAIL algorithm for the TRANSIENT BYPASS module.
Lowcut/highcut filters for all mixer channels.
