Shakuhachi | Todd Barton’s Morphagene Reel
The Shakuhachi is a Japanese bamboo flute with a beautifully haunting sound. Mr. Todd Barton has creating an amazing Morphagene reel which contains a few Shakuhachi riffs, long notes and textures.
You can find the Reel here. Formatted for use in the Make Noise Morphagene. Two minutes of samples from Todd Barton’s Shakuhachi album “Ro,” re-released on May 31, 2019 by Flying Moonlight Records.

Morphagene PMOD & Envelope Follower
In this episode, I’ve modified options.txt on the Morphagene SD card to set PMOD to 1. With this setting enabled, Morphagene only plays when the Play CV receives a gate and plays as long as the gate is high. This makes it easier to control what will happen to the built-in Envelope Follower, a circuit that examines the ‘shape’ (volume) of the sound played and creates a corresponding CV. You can have a lot of fun with it! Happy patching!

Reflections
A convolution reverb uses recordings of a reflected sound (e.g. a gunshot) in a room or space, thus creating super realistic reverbs. However, you can also use any sound file to create spaces that will never exist in real life.
In this video, I’ve been using the new ‘angel hair’ Morphagene reel which was recently posted by MakeNoise to create rooms which were originally sliding windows, toy trucks running from a playground ramp and crushed angel hair spaghetti falling down on a vibraphone. Rings and Strega were used as voices, Desmodus Versio provided some regular reverb when ECR-1 was doing the unreal rooms.

Morphagene Reels & Splices
In this episode I am going to create a Morphagene reel with more found sounds from the kitchen and explore the cool world of reels, splices and microsound. It was also a cool opportunity to test my WA-47 ‘vintage microphone’ that desperately needs some real musicians. Hopefully soon!
