Awesome! Can you upload a screen shot of the setup and provide more details? I'd like to make a futile attempt to mash something like this together in SynthMaker.

hmm... i think to morph between midi notes it would just be a case of morphing the velocities, the same as panning audio left and right.
so one midi input is getting quieter while the other gets louder, which would give the effect that they are being morphed into each other.
morphing frequencies will work in the same way.
so you just need simple pan....
pan = (0-1)
velo1 = velo1 * pan
velo2 = velo2 *(1-pan)
or my preferred method....
velo1 = velo1*(pan(min,0.5)*2)
velo2 = velo2*(1-pan(min,0.5)*2)
which keeps levels even instead of being quieter when in the center.
cheers

You might want to look into checking out the Korg KaosPad ,all the morphing you will ever need. That is if you can't find anything software and Free of coarse.

hmmm... maybe this will do what you want....
midi morph vst
as usual i've not been able to test it, because i don't think FL studio accepts two midi inputs to a vst.
but anyway i've made it with a slider to morph the velocities and a slider that reduces the amount of notes from one input while slowly increasing from the other, and a slider which controls both.
i'm not sure what it will sound like but i think it should be fairly close to what your after.
so let me know if it does what it should , and also any feature request and i'll see about developing it further.
cheers

Thanks a lot for that! I will try asap! I think the only problem that may crop up in FL is that you can't control certain aspects of MIDI for external plugins. At any rate I will see what happens with your plug in FL and let you know.

@exonerate I tried it in FL and yes as you suggested theres a problem with getting 2 separate MIDI inputs to flow through the morpher. I was also surprised when I tried it in eXT1.4.1 and it basically had the same issue. How does it split the inputs? By Channel?
Let me know..

In this thread, a long long time ago, I enquired about the possibility of morphing between mid streams
Ok, I finished my MidiMorph machine - though it's a PlogueBidule device.
Here's an audio demo
http://www.box.net/shared/static/8hb8672rxe.mp3
The midi data is split into 3 data streams (frequency, velocity and gate (and pitchbend too)). Frequency and Velocity are linearly crossfaded and the Gate function is based on a threshold based noise mechanism (it sounds like I don't know what I'm talking about Willis, I know), but it seemed the only sensible way to mix between this 'trigger' data.
I'll post up the bidule patch if asked.
'Scuse the 'amateur product demo' angle!
