Morphex GUI

Morphex is an open source audio plugin that morphs the harmonics of two sounds while exploring the latent timbral space that emerges from the spectral analysis of musical sounds, and to craft new hybrid instruments.

You can download the latest release of the plugin here: https://github.com/MarcSM/morphex/releases

Demo Video

If you want to see the plugin live you can take a look at this video:

In this video you can hear some presets of the plugin. External plugin effects such as distortion and reverb are used at the end of the video to see what kind of sounds can we get when using the plugin within a DAW in a music production use case.
