DO NOT MISS THIS - Morph 4 from Joranalogue (Patreon)
Content
Hello!
another day another video, this time for the Morph 4 from Joranalogue. Schedules (as most of you know) are certainly messed up (to put it lightly) for me at the moment and I didn't plan on two videos in a week (I do prefer to spread things more evenly) but for those filling their boots with modular content from a great pair of modules this is hopefully a good week!
The Morph 4 continues to see Joranalogue push analogue design and provide a Serge-like patch programability and flexility to his take on a quad VCA. The morphing is excellent, there's CV over everything, some added logic and sub mixes and I think Morph 4 is really onto something special. For those looking for a plain bank of VCAs, or a little mixing VCA I would imagine first impressions are that it's a larger HP than some want to go for. But VCAs, mixing and signal management is the back bone of a modular system and whether you're processing audio or CV the morphing and creation of signals on this is truly amazing. That might be a bit gushy and more personal from me than usual but I'm really impressed with this and wanted to share that enthusiasm.
I'll be back with further updates as soon as I can. Have a good rest of the week!
VIDEO DETAILS
Here we have the Morph 4 Eurorack module from Joranalogue Audio Design. They call it a “dimensional modulation array” which is a fitting name for a quad VCA with all the bells and whistles of a morphing modulation source built in with mixing, MIN/MAX logic, sub mixes, CV over everything and in typical Joranalogue style … simply pushing analogue design that bit further. The potential list of uses cases is massive, so I’ve got lots of technical and musical patches in the video to really put it through it’s paces and give it the deep dive it deserves. This reminds me of Serge style “patch programability” and really giving modulation (something Rob Hordijk says in the key to modular synthesis) the love it deserves. It’s as simple of complex as you like.
