So they have different synthesis methods. It the sound that matters right? Not everyone cares about "Morphing" so if you take that away from MorphoX you're left with very little...............in my opinion of course. But it's opinion based not on an affiliation with one company or another but on personal preference. Emotica has it right, demo everything and choose what is right for him personally and the OP is going to do the same thing. Let them form their own opinions............

Teksonik, Dune is imho nothing special either, stock synth but fun to use and program, versatile too. But sound is standard, it's ok


And that's your opinion which I absolutely respect. The difference being that I have no affiliation with Synapse so it matters not to me if someone likes or dislikes Dune. It only matters that I do. I purchased Dune but not Morphox..........who cares? I certainly don't care if you purchase MorphoX and not Dune. But in my opinion the OP should at least try the Dune demo as well as the MorphoX demo to see which (or both or neither) is right for him.

Teksonik: I'm quit unhappy when people came up asking for a synth, do they it need it or not..

The reason why they asked is they need a synth with a lot of presets and not a synth why it can do PD or subtractice synthesis...

It has nothing to do if i made sounds for them or not. Just to make things clear...

I like the synthesis and the sound of MorphoX ofcourse... But i like Prism, too.. But they're too much different if you look on the synthesis, but you know, you can make on booth synthies really good patches (and booth have very good patches...)!

Well, I can't say I spent a great deal of time with MorphoX, but... it's a very nice-sounding synth, much like a lot of the very nice sounding synths out there. It's got a few individual touches, but overall, if you've got Predator... I don't think you really NEED it (don't know Thor). Get to know Predator inside and out, it's an awesome synth with a lot of options and a great set of FX.

On the other hand, I've got a ton of synths that I don't need. I could probably make do with Zebra, SynthSquad and Alchemy, but I use different ones because I find them inspiring. The workflow is different, and the results will be different. Is it necessary? No. Fun? Hell yes.

So, if MorphoX tickles your fancy and inspires you to make music, AND if you've got the extra cash, then get it by all means.

I'm not sure how you can jump to that conclusion. Maybe they want a synth that's easy or fun to create their own presets on.............. Shrug

Perhaps people are just curious how others feel but I don't think anyone should take another person's opinion too seriously unless there is no demo of the synth or unless for some reason they can not download and install a demo.....

+100

A good example for that is "insert your average VA + THAT feature that makes it outstanding here".

MorphoX is an example for that, so are many other synths, like FireBird+ which seems to be very limited in first place (2 OSCs, one filter, one LFO) but you be amazed what sounds that little thing can make.

I think DUNE needs more time to get into while some other synths have their "secrets" more obvious.

After demoing both, I think the potential (for both) is all in the programming... 3rd party support is everything these days. The more (quality) programmers in your court, the better the synth for me, that is... I'm not a programmer, and probably don't want to be as I have a limited amount of time to make music as it is, but the amount of support any new synth has, definitely influences my purchase more than say the "potential" to make great sounds.

That's a pretty good example of the different types of producers out there. Not everyone that likes the sound of synths will desire to be a great sound designer.

I think my problem with MorphoX is also that I feel I wouldn't use the morphing to the fullest. I probably would make a patch and then use the morphing to simplify automation. In the same time I could get the same result with some other synths, while assigning different parameters to the mod-wheel. You can go really deep with this feature, but it's also up to the person in front really taking advantage of that.

Sorry, you compare synth who are much too different, the OP should ask next time which "synthdemo" he should impress from the main presets are demosongs, it has really nothing to do with the synth itself, he just searched for something which impressed him...

Well, Prism is a totally different synth compared to MorphoX, Prism is a physical modelling synthesizer and MorphoX is a subtractice synth with the morphing features, this is totally different, guys...!

who is that even aimed at? i try to keep up to date with notifications on what new releases are available hence my interest in morphox. i dont see whats wrong with checking out some of the other synths mentioned after people say they serve them well. :/

those are my thoughts exactly! i have a load of synths that can create the same sounds but the journey to that sound is different in every one. some are more user friendly than others some are more intricate. its like different DAW's. they all get the same job done but they all go about it in a different way. i find reason great for sequencing bass lines but find creating drum patterns and loops more efficient in ableton. they both inspire me in different ways to make music as many of my synths do Smile

honestly, morphox has not reinvented the wheel, simply because that's not possible anymore. so what's left? morphox'philosophy is easy: the fun factor in terms of how ridiciously fast one can get great results with this thing is just stunning. there are for sure synths that are more flexible, etc, but the lighting fast useful results that you have by creating one sound, then the other, then _really_ morph through those is highly inspiring - what's more important for music making???
