Tips and Tricks

-Don’t forget to Auto-Level when switching from line to modular level sources or vice-versa. When performing Auto-Level, it is
possible to hold the REC Button and tap the Shift Button while Recording to let the Morphagene continue “listening” to the source
material.
-The Morphagene is always modulating the sound based on the settings of the Panel Controls and any CV being applied. After
recording modulations into a new Splice, refer to the “initialization” settings on p. 7 to see how to set the Morphagene to
unmodulated 1/1 looping playback of your new recording.
-Recording and playback are independent in the Morphagene. In other words, Recording always takes place at a constant speed
and direction regardless of modulation that might be happening to the previously-recorded material. Thus, any audible modula-
tions are preserved in the resulting recording, but do not aect the recording of the Live sound. What you hear is what you get.
-The Morph control aects a number of characteristics of the sound, including loop length (counterclockwise settings adds a gap
between one Gene/Splice and the next) and the frequency of the EOSG trigger output (as Morph goes up, more Genes are present
and the trigger res more frequently).
-During Reel Selection, the Organize CV input is still active. For best results, remove signals patched to REC, Splice, Shift, and
Organize while using Reel Mode.
-With a Clock patched/Modulating Shift at Shift In, hold the Shift Button to momentarily stop the clocking or modulation.
-Sound On Sound (S.O.S.) may be misused as a Voltage Controlled Cross-fader (between Live and Loop) or VCA for Loop (no Live
Signal Patched).
-Using Time Lag Accumalation with Vari-Speed Forward less that 1/1 Playback Speed eventually results in loss of signal.
-Synchronizing Recording: During the Recording process, a Clock patched to the CLK IN synchronizes the REC Button, allows for
Recording Start and Stop times to be synchronized with an External Clock. The REC Button ashes after it is pressed in order to
indicate that the Morphagene is waiting for the next clock cycle to start Recording. On the next Clock or Gate received, the
procedure is completed, the REC Button lights in order to indicate recording has started and then turns o to indicate recording
has stopped, ending recording sync.
-Combining Splices into a New Splice: During Record into New Splice, all audible manipulations of S.O.S., Vari-Speed, and other
panel controls are reected in the newly-created Splice. Using the Organize panel control to navigate to dierent Splices during
Record into New Splice combines the Splices’ audio into the New Splice. After Recording stops, it is possible to delete the previous
Splices (see Button Combinations, Page 8).
-Copying Reels: (Thanks, Tony Rolando) When you mount an SD Card the current Reel is copied the newly mounted SD Card. Use
this to create copies of the Reel. Mount SD Card. Load Reel the to be copied. Remove SD Card. Wait for Shift Button to be OFF.
Insert SD Card and press Shift to mount. Currently loaded Reel will be coped to the SD Card.
