less common than the others would be more accurate.

Agreed. There's not one always listed on Ebay, but within a month, you'll find at least one.

If there was one thing I liked about the Morpheus though was its tactile feel for the casing. Not sure how to describe it, but I've never had another piece of rack gear like it.

Shortcircuit from Vember Audio, has many filter, while not Z-plane, you can make your own and in 3d space if I remember correctly.Claes showed me howto do it in a xml file, when Shortcircuit was new.

How about this sample set from Dimension Pro ?

The Emulator X will get you closest other than buying the actual module. As far as I know, the Morpheus has 14 pole morphing filters rather than the 12 pole that are in the Audity and Xtreme Lead etc. The Emulator X software does let you morph in real time unlike the modules, as well as dynamic resonance, plus you can design your own filters (giving more in theory than the Ultra Proteus).

When I asked E-mu about transferring some of the Morpheus algorithms to the Samplers and other modules they told me that they couldnt tranfer them because of the pole difference, the chips weren't suitable.

Those are the raw samples from the Proteus 2000 line of modules and use Dimension LE or Pro. There is no programming done to them, and certainly don't have the Z Plane filters. Not going to help for what the OP is after.

Could the Emulator X or Proteus VX load the samples from Digital Sound Factory? That might be a possible solution.

I have both emulator X and halion 4, I would say halion 4 filters sound much better.

The Emulator X will load the e-mu packs from there, it should also be able to convert many other formats to load the samples. You can pick up the EMU sample packs (which include presets and not just the samples) for cheap if you hunt them down, DV247 often have good deals on them £7.99 each in the past and once 4 pack for £20.

Emu X3 also lets you design your own filters. And yes - it's as awesome as it sounds.

EMU-Morpheus as a VST-Plugin?
