Hello all!

could someone please give me a step by step description of how to setup MMorph in Cubase properly?
I would like to use this plugin with 2 instrument tracks and morph the sound of the two synths.

Thanks in advance!

Put MMorph on an audio track then set the output of a second audio track to the sidechain input of MMorph.

Not sure of the exact menu wording as i don't use Cubase. But if this doesn't help, others will probably give you more detailed instructions.

Thanks but I don´t quite understand why audio tracks?
I want to morph the sounds of 2 synths, no audio but midi directly.

Unfortunately, the manual is very vague. This is the only thing I found about it:
To route MIDI to the plugin, simply create a new MIDI track and select the plugin as its output.

Which plugin?? MMorph or the synth?
And how to route the midi sound from the second synth?

midi is a control signal. it doesn't contain information about the sound itself but rather when a note starts, ends, its pitch, velocity, ... what results do you expect from morphing these abstract information? why don't you want to morph the timbre/character of the synthesized sounds?

The synth mate, not the midi.

OK, let me try again. Set up 2 tracks we will call them A and B.
Put a synth on both tracks.
Now on track B set it's output to the input of MMorph (which is on track A)

Thank you! I tried exactly what you described but it´s not working

Don´t know what I´m doing wrong..

When I click on the output of track B, I don´t see MMorph in the list. I loaded MMorph as insert in track A.

Maybe the workflow is too different and more complicated in Cubase compared to other DAW´s.

Here is what I tried so far:

Added two instrument tracks, track A has a synth and track B has another synth loaded.
Next I assigned MMorph as insert in track A in the mixer console.
Now, when I go to the output of track B, I should see MMorph in the list? But I don´t.

Yes this all sounds correct to me. Not sure why its not in the list. Have you successfully routed sidechains in Cubase before?
I know the boss uses Cubase and he will more than likely shed some light on this for you.

You have to activate sidechain on the plugin, then it should appear in output and send sections.

Oh, I must of missed that. I was sure that in MMorph the sidechain is automatically active. I'm not in front of my computer to check.

After activating the sidechain in MMorph I could finally set it up properly.
