What MORPH 3 is

MORPH 3 is a paid audio effect plug-in that combines two input signals into a hybrid sound or transition carrying qualities of both. It calculates A-to-B and B-to-A morphs simultaneously, with an X/Y control for real-time crossfading. The MODELER provides particle or granular-style transfer, file playback, and rebuilding from sound segments analyzed in a loaded file. A formant shifter spans plus or minus 24 semitones. Transient bypass separates transients from both inputs and restores them after morphing; the PRO edition adds a DETAIL transient algorithm. Version 3 includes optional 64-bit internal processing, a soft-knee output limiter, scalable interface, Preset Manager application, and MIDI controls for previous and next presets. MORPH 3 costs $149, paid once with nine algorithms. MORPH 3 PRO costs $269, paid once with eleven algorithms and additional MODELER, transient, and mixer features. It runs on macOS and Windows in compatible 64-bit hosts. A fully functional 30-day trial requires an iLok account.
