20 ways to use Morphagene + Patreon download

Somewhat like Maths, Morphagene from Make Noise has a pretty basic feature set, but what you can do with it goes quite deep. This video took way longer to make than I expected because every time I thought I figured Morphagene out, something new was waiting to be discovered right around the corner. It got quite better after the v155 firmware update last year.
In the video I cover the basics, but also a few non-obvious tricks, like creating a playable polyphonic chord bank or using it as a drum machine.
Another cool trick I discovered was that its gene morphing algorithm, while it seems to be designed for short "gene" like samples, lends itself quite well to "phased looping" style music with longer, melodic samples - as per my video from a couple of weeks ago, but with a nice twist due to its semi-random transposition capabilities.
I played around with that idea in the "outro jam" to this video, and also attached a download of the two minute "phased piano" piece played there.
Enjoy!
All my best,
