Morpheus Operation Manual88
PRESET PROGRAMMING
If four parametric filter sections were cascaded, it would be possible to
create the following complex filter response.
Many natural instruments have complex resonances which are based
on their soundboard or tube size. The resonance shown above would
be impossible to create using a normal synthesizer filter.
THE MORPHEUS FILTER
The Morpheus filter is actually much more complex than the four
parametric sections described above. As an example of its power, the
diagram below shows one of the possible ways that the Morpheus
filter can be configured. This amount of filtering is unprecedented in
all of electronic music history. (Especially when you consider that we
are only talking about one of the 32 channels.)

4 Parametric Equalizers
Right away you can see that we now have 20 different parameters to
control. Ah, there's the catch. How can all these parameters be effec-
tively controlled? 20 envelope generators? We don't think so.
