Morph
Morph is a truly unique controller. It is easiest to think of it as an array of springs that can be pulled up and let go to spring back into place. Morph outputs the full array of spring data producing a 2D array of values with springy and wavy qualities. Morph has been designed in conjunction with a companion app Grain Plane, which uses this unique data set to control a custom-built granular synthesizer. More information on Grain Plane coming soon.
Controller settings
A list of the settings tht can be modified to change the behavior of the controller. These values get stored when you save a preset.
| Value name | Description |
| Grid resolution | The number of rows and columns in the grid |
| Springiness | Strength of the springs |
| Damping | Amount the springs lose speed over time |
| Max spring length | The length at which the full force of the spring is applied |
| Effect radius min | The minimum radius in which your pinch grabs springs |
| Effect radius max | The maximum radius in which your pinch grabs springs |
| Send OSC array | Toggles the sending of all the array data out on or off |
| Send array as speed | Toggles the sending of all the array data as speed of length change rather than lengths |
| Hold | Holds the grid in its current position |
| Reset | Resets the spring lengths all back to 0 |
Note generation
The method by which this controller generates note output.
| Note | Velocity |
