Thank you, Master Jedi. You're a timeless source of inspiration. Everything can only happen here and now and time is a just point of reference in infinite space to save us from insanity and to make sure we're on time for the next office hours.
This is really incredible. My MG was one of the first five modules i bought when i started the Eurorack journey and I find new uses for it all the time (i use the piano a lot with it as well, despite also not being the most accomplished player)... but I’ve never used the time stretch function. It sounds so smooth! I’ve been listening to a lot of Abul Mogard and Indignant Senility recently and so, at the moment, this feature is going to be very high on the list to try out ASAP. Thank you for the constant reminders that these tools will give you incredible variation and fresh sounds if you put your full attention into them. I think another manual reread is in order. ❤️

@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC This module will - singlehandedly , scoop me down the modular rabbithole ! Damn you, and.... bless you 😘 (i guess my 0-coast already got me half way :-O )
There are people talking in the recording. It freaked me out actually, having this on headphones and suddenly turning my head to see who's talking to me. The voice kind of resembles my partner's :)
Excellent description of timestretch - I’ve used the Morphagene for about a year and this feature always eluded me, I always just sort of patch it and hear the results - hoping this new understanding makes it even more interesting. I’ve found it works really well with dialog; stretching it out reveals a whole world of sounds in the simplest phrases.
Art, I like it, from intro to description. I thought when you unplugged it and resumed at certain time, was strange,made me think of flying nowhere, or a picture to press play on from the past. Time, memory is all very strange. After awhile you realize you're on a planet moving almost timelessly revolving. What do the planets have to do to us aging. It's all very weird
If there is a Superbooth next year, can you please carry this system and your field recorder, record SB for one day and jam on it the next? That would be awesome!
I had to watch this twice to truly appreciate what was going on. The Morphagene is just so endlessly deep. Every time I feel like I've gotten it, it surprises me again. It really makes me wonder about its design process, and if you folks even appreciated its true depth at the time of launch, or if it's taken a few years to sink in :)
Thanks so much! I'd say our attitude toward this is something like, if we had already encountered even half the possibilities of an instrument when we released it, then why bother? We want to create the potential for people to do things we did not imagine while designing. However even by that standard I would agree that the Morphagene is a particularly deep well, and continues to reveal new possibilities.
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Hey Walker! I made a tutorial on using the Morphagene's (then new) v/oct option to sequence some marimba samples! ruclips.net/video/DneH7QZ_ObA/видео.html
With Morphagene, it seems as though even with the time stretch feature on, when the pitch is increased the sample plays back at a faster rate, and when the pitch is decreased, the sample plays back at a slower rate. Is this accurate? Generally, when audio is time stretched, shouldn’t it play back at the same rate regardless of pitch?
The playback rate is determined by the frequency of the pulses at the clock input. You could also think of time stretch as like modulating Slide with a ramp wave that speeds up or down as the clock does. As long as Gene Size is not zero, Gene Size and Vari-Speed will not affect the overall time it takes to move through a Splice. Also, it is not the individual Genes that are stretched but rather their overlapping start points- with larger Gene sizes the stretching effect will be less apparent
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC thanks for the reply. I actually have been researching this a bit, and it appears my Morphagene is not performing properly regarding the time stretch feature. While in time stretch mode, I have reduced the bpm of the master clock going into Morphagene from 87 bpm to 10 bpm, and the rate that my sample played at did not change. The audio remained steady at 87 bpm. I then increased the bpm to 140, and the audio still did not change. It remained at 87 bpm. Changing the bpm of the clock going into Morphagene had no impact. The left varispeed led was blue, and the morph was at 12:00. I also tried changing the txt file CKOP to time stretch only, and had the same result. The bpm of the master clock had no impact on the speed of the sample playback. Have you heard of this before, and have any recommendations?
tried the time stretch as suggested in the manual....doesnt do anything. I thought playback of the slice was to adjust to the incoming clock. I get no change. in fact....clock in doesnt seem to do anything at all
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC went back to this. reread the manual. user error. I misunderstood what I read. what you told me helped put into context. werks....thank you!
wounds drone a lot of us cannot afford modules at their price point, although I love their products dearly, there is no way I would own any of them had I not had some surprisingly luck financially. A $2000 granular synthesizer is just out of reach for...most people in general
Elyssa Palmer I agree and that’s fair. I think the request for a Giveaway (asking for free products in general) undermines the appreciation for the company. There’s a lot of value in their gear a ton of research, development and care go into their products.
Igor Imbu I completely agree, and also have a family to feed so financially will probably never be able to afford any of these. But a man can at least ask
I would reach for my tape and Microsound machine...........but there are none to be had. If only there were some kind of way to get word to the beautiful people who make such wonderful devices. I know they don’t want to deprive us .
It’s almost as if those scientists did something in that Hadron Collider in Switzerland, something to do with the manipulation of black holes or particles. There are things we should not be messing with.
How have I not done this? I've been sneaker netting it for every iteration. That's a brain injury for ya. I knew the MG did this. That's the annoying part. Luckily, I see every action, accident or success as a possible part of my ultimate process. So, thanks for the video. I needed the reminder. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. All gone, like dmt at the end of a solid dose of ketamine. Time... to... wake up!
Bruh I would like to purchase your shirt. I mean not that exact one you're wearing. Unless it's an L and it's the only one, then I guess we could talk. :D

I’m curious what Reich meant by “go further”
Gorgeous patch. Time stretch looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it.
...like tears in the rain.
Truly the most beautifully sounding of your videos! Could have kept on listening on for longer still. Thanks!
So glad to hear you loved it!
Thanks so much for this :)
More episodes with the morphagene please!!
Glad you liked it! We'll always come back to the Morphagene :D

Morphagene and Mimeophon is my preferred alternative to Heidegger and Husserl
This was so excelent example about how powerfull the darksi...i mean morphage is. Thanks for this video 🤘🏼
There are people talking in the recording. It freaked me out actually, having this on headphones and suddenly turning my head to see who's talking to me. The voice kind of resembles my partner's :)
Good ear! Yeah, I recorded the piano in a populated living room. Had to select a relatively quiet segment of the recording :)
Same to me (not the partner's voice though)

Glad to hear it worked! It has been a tough thing to explain to others even after having reached a pretty solid understanding of it.
Remembering to patch something to ‘clock’ is key…
"...an art in which time is the medium." Stop reading my mind, Walker! I just journalled something last week about painting sound on a canvas of time.
The Medium is the message ,- ☺

Great. Now just to get stock of an these modules. Or even the time stretch or shared system would be cool. Highly tempted but no stock anywhere
We are working hard to get everything in stock! Thanks for your patience :)
If there is a Superbooth next year, can you please carry this system and your field recorder, record SB for one day and jam on it the next? That would be awesome!
I'm not sure any microphone can handle Superbooth haha :D
Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day!

You may have to turn Gene Size up - the time stretch and gene shift behaviors work when Gene Size is not playing the Full Splice.
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC ah…got it. Manual did not mention that (I think). I was matching the diagram settings. I’ll give that a go thanks.

Yes, I suspect the universe is now suspended in the infinite moment of metempyschosis.

This is my first encounter with the term "sneaker netting!" Does that mean you're using a second recording and playback device?
@@MAKEN0ISEMUSIC Haha! Yeah. I'm old. I use my iPod as an intermediate device. Sneaker net is an old computer term for people with no ethernet
nice drones towards the end!
Thanks!
Brilliant !
Thank you!
I am sitting in a room...
I can see the similarity!
This is where you need 2 morphagenes 2nd to capture audio after mimeophon to time stretch
Set inop to 1 in the options.txt and mult the Mimeophon outputs back to the MG input, and you can do it with just one Morphagene!
MAKEN0ISE 🤯🥴 brilliant guys, waiting to pick up my mimeophon next!
soon sickkkkk
