“We had great fun using Morph EQ to process basic white noise as well as long one-shot reverb tails”
Presets
Given its creative ambitions, it should come as no surprise that Morph EQ has plenty of presets showcasing its capabilities, and most of them include morphing pathways. Of the 100 or so presets, a few cover standard tasks (Tilt Shelf or Telephone Vocal). Thankfully, the vast majority of them are creative and grouped into four categories: Morphing, Abstract, Vowel and Filtering. And if you really don’t know where to start, there’s a preset randomise button, which picks a preset rather than randomising the current patch parameters.
Starting with the Morphing bank, presets such as Gyroscope and Low Swell deliver quite extreme changes once you move the Morph knob. Orbitz, as the name suggests, moves its four filters in a rotating circle from about 200Hz to 2kHz. Each preset delivers its own strange filtering effects as you move the Morph knob, and often you’ll find a small section of the morphing path where the effect is just what you’re after. This is ideal for creating special effects, and we had great fun using Morph EQ to process basic white noise as well as long oneshot reverb tails. What’s more, a lot of these extreme effects can transform the stereo image with a tweak of the Spread parameter. Further fun can be had in the Abstract folder, which contains the most extreme effects, and in the Vowel folder, which has some great voiceinfluenced sounds.
Meanwhile, in the Filter category you’ll find a mixture of traditional and innovative effects: Triple Highpass for example. It is, of course, completely possible to create complex animated EQ moves using DAW automation and a regular EQ, but Morph EQ takes that concept and makes it easier and more fun to achieve, and we think you’ll love this wonderfully creative EQ.
