Plugin Description:
Beat morpher is a sample playback drum machine with a difference. You specify start and end positions for each drum hit. Then you can morph between the two patterns using a slider or by just pressing the auto-morph button. The beat will gradually morph over a specified number of bars. This effect was inpsired by the music of Simon Posford aka Hallucinogen and Shpongle (with raja ram).

It outputs midi so you can hook it up to another drum machine. If you record the midi data back into your host you can edit it and turn it into a melody.

The presets work properly now, so it's no longer beta.

make sure you extract the contents of the zip correctly (there should be a folder "beat morpher" in \vstplugins that has 5 samples in it).

hope you like it!

This looks exremely cool.
Thank you for making it available.

this i've been looking forward to..

Nice one, many thanks.

it's not much different to the old version I'm afraid. Also since I used lots of dave's subcontrols I haven't put up the new source. I have to go through about 20 containers deleting reg details before I do that. not happening anytime soon!

kewl tools you got there pal
thanks for building them
thanks for sharing them

wow, you included the se1-file! thx a lot, very kind!

Looks and sounds great !
Thank you very much, oli !

BUT:

What's about your
KLAUS SCHULTZE SYNTH ?

vista - it's still sitting on my hard drive. might get round to finishing but i'm focusing on making more unusual stuff (there are allready plenty of great synths out there). Next up are endless flanger/phaser.

i just noticed that beatmorpher makes a big cpu spike on the first beat of each bar which can cause an audio glitch on my pc. i'll look into it.

ok, when it is sitting it's not death !


i think, if someone can
build such fantastic effects,
he should give (sell ?)
us some synths too !

bump.

beat morpher is now at v1.1 and has an internal clock and better cpu usage.

WOW!

What a cool concept. But better than that it's not just a concept anymore.

I've never thought of a vsti like this before. I think you just made my day.

Awesome!

Hmmmm. Just played with it for a couple of minutes. Not really what I thought or hoped it would be (though nothing wrong at all with what you've made). This is more of a basic drum machine, I guess I was looking for something that could possibly, somewhat intelligently morph between two drum patterns (loops).

I'm picturing some kind of algorithmic morhphing that would intelligently semi-randomize drum hits between patterns in say 8 bars in FL Studio. You enter your FL pattern (preferably) or maybe even a .wav loop file in bar one and then a completely different pattern in bar 8. Over the 8 bars they morph into one another with some sort of intelligent randomization. Guess I'm getting carried away. Although, the new Stylus RMX demo shows that it can do some amazing things kinda like what I'm describing.

Is it similar to this?
