modulation of the morphers

[chrisp]

Hello,

Is it possible to modulate the morphers? I know morpher 2 is also connected to an expression pedal.

Cheers

It's an interesting question.  Today, no, Morpher 1 and Morpher 2 are not modulable. Manual action on Morpher 2 can be replaced by action on the expression pedal, but does not modulate Morpher 2. 

When designing The Pool, I always imagined the Morphers as a source of modulation, never as a destination.

But on several occasions, after fine-tuning Morpher 1 for several destinations (often VCA saturation), I've regretted not being able to modulate the whole thing simply.

What would be possible would be to propose a parameter in the sound options to replace manual action on Morpher 1, e.g. expression pedal, breath controller, classic midi CCs, and why not add modulation to the list, e.g. ENV1 modulation. If the user selects this choice, then the ENV modulation is directed to Morpher 1 and no longer to the VCA 1 envelope signal. But I think it's a bit fiddly....

If you have other ideas that combine ergonomics and feasibility, don't hesitate to post them here.

The option to assign a standard MIDI controller such as Breath (CC02) to Morpher 1 would be great!

Personally, I would prefer that it not replace manual control of Morpher 1, but rather behave in the same way as Morpher 2 and the expression pedal (CC11) which only override values, though perhaps there is a hardware limitation I'm not aware of.

I would also prefer to see a simple solution for external MIDI control of Morpher 1 first before getting into the complexities of "morphing the morphers"

A parameter in the sound options to select between a manual action on Morpher 1 and 2, or an expression pedal, breath controller, classic midi CCs sounds very nice! If also further modulation options can be added for the morphers then it would be really fantastic but I don't know the limitations!
Thank you Laurent.

Thanks to both of you, it's noted, available in a future update. I'll see what I can do to get a smart list in Option
