Zynaptiq Morph 2

Super useful for sound design

I love this VST so much! I’m always using it for various sound design projects. (I work in art, film, theater and video games). I’ve morphed voices to change their apparent gender, mashing up voices from various apparent genders saying the same text but fluctuating in timbre and color in a very trippy way. I’ve blended sounds to create in-between sounding instruments playing weird melodies. I got this plugin some years ago for a job that I was able to budget it in for, and it has paid me back multiple folds in value in terms of all I’ve created from it!

Try this: record yourself saying something. Run it through Ableton’s audio-to-midi processes to have 3 new tracks based on the recording: a melody, harmony and drum track. Pick an instrument (or instruments) to be controlled by this new midi information. Morph those sounds together, layering the Morph 2 VSTs, ultimately morphing them along to your originally recorded text. You could essentially make every trippy cartoon voice by yourself!

A bit quirky

You have to input two different channels very specific, panning each one either left or right, and then you can morph in between these. It does exactly what was advertised, but not any more than that, and I do have the feeling that I can do more interesting things by routing, sidechain-compression and mixing. Bought it and didn't really use it, which of course is my own mistake, but try the demo before.
