9. THE MORPH ASSIGN
FEATURE
ABOUT MORPH ASSIGN
The three main M
ORPH ASSIGN
buttons are located in the Program section.
The Morph function can be used to control single or multiple param-
eters using the Wheel, a connected Control pedal or Aftertouch (see
“About Aftertouch” on page 56). This gives you plenty of real-time
control possibilities to augment your playing style. It is very simple to
set up and use, and all Morph assignments are stored with the Pro-
gram.
Many of the Factory Programs have Morph assigned parameters. If a
Program uses Morph one or more of the M
ORPH ASSIGN
indicators will be lit to indicate this.
E.g. if the W
HEEL
indicator in the Morph Assign section is lit for a Program you can move the wheel and
all Morph assigned parameters will move correspondingly so you “see” exactly what parameters are cur-
rently assigned.
USING MORPH - AN EXAMPLE
In this example we shall describe how to assign Morph to the L
EVEL
rotary encoders for two Instrument
sections and use the Wheel to lower the level of one instrument while simultaneously raising it for the oth-
er. This allows you to “morph” seamlessly between two sounds by using the Wheel.
1. Set up so that you have two Instrument sections active e.g. the Piano and Organ section, and that
these are assigned to the same Zones so that they are layered when you play the keyboard.
2. Set the L
EVEL
knob for one of the two active instrument sections to the maximum value (fully clock-
wise) and the L
EVEL
knob for the other active instrument section to the minimum value (fully coun-
ter-clockwise).
3. Hold down the W
HEEL
button in the Morph Assign section and turn the L
EVEL
knob set to maxi-
mum value down to minimum value.
As you can see, the encoder LED pointing to the maximum value position (where it initially was set) stays
lit and the encoder LED pointing to the minimum value position (where you just set it) is also lit. The two
lit encoder LEDs now indicate the Level range (see “About setting Morph parameter ranges” on page 56)
controlled by the Morph Assign function, which in this case was the full range of the Level rotary encoder.
4. Release the W
HEEL
button in the Morph Assign section and push the Wheel forward. The Level knob
is now controlled by the Wheel and the LED’s continuously reflect the level changes when moving the
Wheel. In this example, when the Wheel is fully forward the Level goes down to zero, and when you
move the Wheel back the Level goes back up to maximum.
