Two more to add...
good info, @wim. Just a question: do you play fast and with lots of notes when you get stuck notes in MPE synths using Bluetooth? I use mostly USB, but when I used Bluetooth I never had stuck notes. But I'm not a good keyboard player, I play only few notes and in a slow tempo.
Not particularly fast, and the stuck notes seem to be random, not so much related to speed. I have a light touch though, so it's possible I'm triggering double notes or something. It's more noticeable with certain synths like Bassalicious, Pure Synth Platinum, and Troublemaker. Those are all apps that I use to test my Mozaic scripts for stucknotedness, since they're more prone to it.
Anyway, I just stay away from the MPE over Bluetooth and things are working out a lot better.
I made a Geoshred style layout that's pretty cool. Definitely thinking about getting that one 3d printed since I'm a guitar player.
Just an FYI ... MMC (transport controls) don’t get sent over Bluetooth, only over USB. I’ve posted a request to fix this on the Sensel forum. If anyone feels like chiming in on that issue over there, feel free.
Hello @wim
Any updates about the Morph, still use it? Is there still firmware development for it?
I haven't used it much of late, but only because of a personal shift in focus, not because of any issues with the Morph. There's still firmware development going on, but it seems slowly at best. As of last month, they have been trying to bring on a software/firmware developer for some time now.
They're active on their forum, listening to people, and seem positive about the future, but haven't announced any upcoming releases. Some of the natives are getting restless though, you can tell.
I hope so, I just bought 2 of them, and several overlays !!!!
I hope you're a patient person @jazzmess.
The thing is great as-is, but there's plenty of room for improvement. It seems as if it will come - but slowly.
Care to mention some of the 'needed' improvement?
I didn't say "needed", but some things I'd love to see:
No show stoppers. IMO.
Yes you’re right. I can live with these.
Bought 2 morphs, 2 buchlas, 2 pianos, and 2 innovator, 1 music production. A lot to play with !!!! If I don’t like the feel I’ll send it back. Really looking forward the buchla that thing is ace (especially one shop on amazon sold them at the standard price - around 40€)...all this for the cost of a Roli music maker pack. I think it is great value.
That's why I wrote 'needed' in quotes
Thanks for the update!
That’s too bad there is not a proper place like patch storage to share custom layouts. Anyway, really looking forward !!!!
The Buchla overlay's 4th run is about to be shipped to all outlets. Apparently it has more of an ability to stay where it's put. Or it moves less than the other 3 iterations. Thought you might want to know that in case you have that kind of issue with yours.
Interested in the Joué Play but, astoundingly, it doesn't have MPE out of the box. Plus there are some other Pro features that have been clipped from the Play that only really make sense from a "we decided to bring another edition out, because money" perspective, imo.
Anyone here own a Joué?
Thanks for the reminder, I’ll see how the overlay fares on the sensel, I have the buchlas overlays but still waiting for the morph to ship !! Is there any serial number or reference for buchla overlay ? the Mine has the S1011. I dunno which it belongs to.
Yeah I don’t see any interest in the joue play. It’s just going backwards : you lose the modularity and MPE. Bummer !
*The third run of Buchla Thunder Overlays has sold out, so we’re tooling up for a fourth! Plus, this will be an improved version, with better grip on the back, so you can slide your fingers are hard as you want without the overlay coming off the Morph. We anticipate it to sell through quickly as well, so don't wait to reserve your own. Estimated wait of 3 weeks.
From here.
So I grabbed one as well... it just ticks too many boxes as is and came at a good price.
After reading helpful reviews here (thx @wim and others) and setting my expectations accordingly I can say I'm happy with the purchase.
Can someone please tell
Who wrote the beat in this video? Tell this person that I like it a lot!
Some morph inspiration (not my video but I think it's cool):
That would be me! Thanks a lot 🙏
I am using the morph plugged into the Mac, with IconnectMidi4+ also connected. Inside Logic the Morph-Midi is easily routed to any ICM-outputport, in my case coming into an iPad. I have not tried connecting the Morph directly to the ICM, though.
The Morph is the greatest thing!, in my opinion, I have most of the overlays, but use it without one with most pleasure.
An ios-App for it would be even better.
Can‘t say anything about charging times, but I also use it up to 5 hours at a time via bluetooth.
When you use it without an overlay what function does it serve?
It will serve Whatever function you assign it in the Sensel app. It can be Drums, a trackpad, or anything else you can imagine. The overlays serve as a touch configuration template for the Sensel and allow you to know where everything is visually. Technically speaking you could do all the same things without an overlay, it’s just a matter of memorizing the layout. I hope this makes sense.
...what @ipadbeatmaking said...
In my case I use it with an (invisible ) mpe-keyboard-type, with the added benefit, of not knowing which note exactly I am hitting (I do experimental a/v projects, instead of „repeatable melodies“).
But, as has been said, you can set it up anyway you choose, print out a sheet, put it on top of the morph and off you go. It‘s beautiful!
Yep, I've had the morph for a while now and have played with the PC app to set up various workflows. It's very flexible. I'm always curious about how people use it without overlays because it does require either good memory or willingness to be imprecise. That appeals to me, so I'll try it!
@lukesleepwalker This guy is one of the morph wizards. No overlays for him!
@hypnopad Thanks for sharing that. That dude is a bit of a nut (in a good way!), but he's doing something very cool with the Morph that I hadn't considered. I like the idea of using Y axis for pitch and the X axis for quantization. Which got me to thinking: isn't that pretty much how Gestrument Pro works? (or could work with the correct setup)
Unfortunately Gestrument Pro is an app I bought that I never dove into properly. Your assessment sounds correct though. I really like the idea of having something in your rig that is imprecise (yet safe) that encourages improvisation.
Yes, I recall having played with it a bit, setting the CC for the X/Y pad but can't recall now how well it worked. I have a vague recollection of thinking "now I have to figure out how all these features in Gestrument work". Time is my biggest challenge!
Too many apps. Not enough time. I think a common problem here.
