Hybrid Morph
Hybrid Morph is a sample-based synthesizer that can create spectacular sounds. It diers from
Hybrid Basic in that each waveform is based on two sample layers, which leads to a dierent
sonic character.
•
Volume slider: Sets the overall volume level of the instrument.
•
Waveform pop-up menu: Choose the sample set used to generate the basic synthesizer sound.
•
Morph slider: Controls crossfades between the two sample layers.
•
Morph Envelope slider: Controls the morph over time. For example, setting the Morph
parameter to B and the Morph Envelope to “From A to B” morphs the Wave from A to B, in
accordance with the ADSR envelope settings.
Note: If you set the Morph parameter to A and the Morph Envelope to “From A to B,” some
ADSR (envelope) settings will result in no sound. This lets you use the modulation wheel to
oset the Morph parameter during live performances, resulting in interesting sounds.
•
Cuto slider: Allows less sound through at low values and more at high values—damping the
sound or making it brighter.
•
Cuto Type pop-up menu: Enables you to choose from a number of preset lter curves. Try
them out, and experiment with the Cuto and Resonance parameters.
•
Resonance slider: Emphasizes the frequency range around the point determined by the
Cuto parameter.
•
Cuto Envelope slider: Determines the strength of the envelope shaping applied to the
Cuto parameter.
•
Attack slider: Makes the sound start faster or slower. A fast setting makes it sound like striking a
piano key, whereas a slow setting makes it sound like bowing a violin string.
•
Decay slider: Makes the harmonic, or bright, portion of the sound sustain for a longer time at
slow values. Faster values move to the Sustain level more quickly.
•
Sustain slider: Determines the level of the sound after the Attack or Decay phase
has completed.
•
Release slider: Determines the time it takes for notes to fade out after you let go of the keys on
your keyboard.
