Best 'transforming' effects - additive, spectral

[Choikdoi]

New Zynaptiq MORPH update.

• 6 New morphing algorithms: INTERWEAVE V3, IMPRINT SMOOTH, IMPRINT CRYSTAL, ENHARMONIC, FUSION (PRO only) and SONANCE (PRO only). The entire suite of V2 algorithms is included, too, of course, for a total of 11 algorithms.

• New MODELER module that provides particle/granular synthesis based style transfer functionality, as well as straight file playback. MORPH 3 PRO includes a multi-zone mapping editor and additional analysis features for advanced MODELER control.

• Improved FORMANT SHIFTER with +-24 semitones of range; the v2 formant shift algorithm can be activated for the v2 algorithms to get the exact same v2 sound, using a prefs setting.

• New TRANSIENT BYPASS module that can significantly improve the morphing results. The transients are taken at the A and B inputs to the morphing, and added back in, with their mix controlled by the morphing X/Y control. The transients can be boosted, and may also bypass the formant shifter for increased crispness. MORPH 3 PRO features an additional DETAIL mode for the TRANSIENT BYPASS.

• Optional internal double precision processing - internal processing can be switched to 64 bit.

• New soft-knee output limiter.

• Redesigned, scalable UI with interactive-signal-flow-diagram design, built using vector graphics for sharp visuals when zooming, with up to 200% UI scaling for 4k and larger displays.

• Lowcut/Highcut filters for all four mixer channels (PRO only).

Improvements seem like they will make a difference, but I can't tell if these will notably improve the sounds produced by the plugin. I will have to wait to hear via videos, but there are none up yet that I can find.

Also, I hope they have buttons to browse through the algorithms--instead of just a pull-down menu (always feels slow and clunky to check out the five now available).

They don't.

Thanks !
noteworthy:
it has now TWO I-lok activations (rather than just one)

morph 2´s activation gets eaten. you have to update to 2.6.
then its coupled to the morph 3 activation.

its CC mappable.
vidsual feedback: you see what you have set. But not whats available

i found free spectral freeze plugin today, it is very good
get it from here - https://github.com/AlexHarker/HISSTools_Freeze/releases

@martiu Hm tnx, works.
(And there some granular too https://github.com/AlexHarker/HISSTools_Granular)

ye i got the granulator too, it is a bit weird though, my DAW recognizes it like an effect but when you open it you need to load sample, is not processing live input but it is a sampler

Yes observed this too, seems author forgot change type. But in rest, pretty ok texture generator from samples. (+ low eating)

Great find! It is indeed very good!

Another thing to consider is vocoders. You don't necessarily need to put them on a voice and you can blend in the amount you want. Another thing to try is envelope followers in sidechain mode. If you combing these two ideas and blend to taste you can always get something that's pretty transformative.

It's even more effective if you start adding effects like filters and distortion to the mix as well.

yes, i use vocoders on drums from Molekular, also all kind of spectral effect to break down everything to sine waves

spectral pitch shifter, it is fantastic - https://github.com/extracell/pitch-snap/releases

@martiu Tnx
(and there also another spectral fx too lol https://github.com/extracell/exchanger/releases)
From description: "separates audio in real time into up to 20 sine partials, which can be changed into square waves or saw waves. it was inspired by eliderp's resynthesis max4live device"

Nobody mentioned us so I gotta do it myself:

All the Magic Series is FFT based and meant to transfrom things:
MagicDelay - Spectral Delay
MagicPitch - Spectral Pitch & Frequency Shifter
MagicBlur - Spectral Blur
MagicFusion - Spectral Vocoder
MagicFilter - Spectral Filter
