Zynaptiq Releases MORPH 3 and MORPH 3 PRO

Hannover, April 25th, 2024: Zynaptiq announces the immediate availability of MORPH version 3, the latest iteration of their popular MORPH plug-in. Version 3 comes in two product tiers, MORPH 3 and MORPH 3 PRO, and upgrades from previous versions are available.

About MORPH

MORPH is a plug-in that takes two input sounds and creates a new, hybrid sound that features characteristics of both, and that can smoothly transition from one to the other.


It is the magic sauce that the chainsaw guitars* of the awesome DOOM soundtrack, the haunting, organic alien voices of Arrival, the hyper-real flying cars of Blade Runner 2049 and the intense sonic universe of Star Citizen have in common.

Used by music artists like Au5 to create the cutting edge of bass music, MORPH is a must-have for making unique new sounds, vocals or instruments for your music, or designing far-out creature voices, alien hardware, futuristic ambiences and drones or Lazer-Driven Bosonic Field Polarization Coils - you name it, MORPH has you covered.


*: Yes, that's right...c-h-a-i-n-s-a-w guitars. In DOOM. How cool is that??

About MORPH Version 3

A massive upgrade to the classic MORPH 2, MORPH 3 and MORPH 3 PRO extend the classic'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 common to MORPH 3 and MORPH 3 PRO: 

  • 4 New morphing algorithms: INTERWEAVE V3, IMPRINT SMOOTH, IMPRINT CRYSTAL, and ENHARMONIC. The entire suite of V2 algorithms is included, too, of course, 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.
    •  

The MORPH 3 PRO edition adds: 

  • 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. 

Specifications

MORPH 3 and MORPH 3 PRO support all common sampling rates from 44.1kHz to 192kHz, depending on available CPU resources, and run as 64-bit AAX Native, AU, VST 2.4 and VST 3. The plug-ins support macOS 10.15.x or newer, on Intel & Apple Silicon processors, and Windows 10 or newer, on Intel and AMD processors.
