E-mu Morpheus Digital Z-Plane Synthesizer Please note that I may add more more information. This has been well tested and is working perfectly. It’s also in pretty good cosmetic condition, but this is a used item from 1993. So at over 25 years old, it does have some scratches to the casing and some very fine ones on the screen but really nothing major, and no dents or damage. The fascia is in excellent condition but does have a small fascia screw missing. Please look carefully at the photo’s as they will give you a better idea of the condition. They also form part of the description. It will require a signature and will also be fully insured despite what the listing says. I will cover the cost of that myself. Collection from Bristol BS9 area is also available. Its claim to fame is the ability to “morph” sounds using Z-Plane filters creating unique, evolving and intricate sounds with superb digital clarity. Go from analog drones that fade into high strings, for example. The unit features a complete 16-channel MIDI implementation that can control most parameters, plus a dual effects processor. It contains samples of many natural acoustic instruments and is also ideal for creating film scores and textural ambiences. Morpheus features: 32 voice polyphony 242 instruments 256 presets (128 writable) 128 writeable hyperpresets 16 writable midimaps 197 z-plane filters 2 effects processors with 28 effects between them 6 outputs, 4 of which can alternatively be used as inputs What’s included Included with this unit is a manual I’ve downloaded and printed, two 1/4 audio cables, two Midi cables and the original power cable, so you should be able to connect it to pretty much any set-up. Here’s more info from online. Overview (weight: 3 Kg) 1 unit. The main panel features a 16 x 2 lines display, 8 buttons and 1 data encoder. Back panel terminal connectors: – Midi interface – main output – 2 assignable AUX Morpheus is a completely new type of music synthesizer which represents a major landmark in the evolution of electronic sound synthesis. Many electronic instruments involve the technology of sampling, where sounds are digitally recorded and played back at different pitches. Sampling has the advantage of highly accurate and realistic sound. One disadvantage of sampling is that once the sounds are recorded, it is difficult to change them in any significant way. Morpheus introduces the Z-Plane filter, which has the ability to smoothly change its function over time. This ultra-powerful device can accurately simulate the resonance of musical instruments, the human voice or create entirely new timbres. The Z-Plane filter is composed of up to eight complex filters for unprecedented control over subtle aspects of the sound. Morpheus contains eight megabytes (internally expandable to 16 megabytes) of the highest quality 16 bit samples as the basis for its sounds. These sounds can be combined or spliced, modulated and then shaped through one of 197 Z-Plane filters. Sampled sounds can now be re-shaped and expressively controlled. The 16 bit sound samples are arranged into 256 preset locations, 128 of which are user-programmable. 128 user-programmable Hyperpresets allow ultra-flexible keyboard mapping of presets. The optional memory card lets you create an expandable library of your favorite presets and hyperpresets. Morpheus features two studio-quality effects processors with 28 different effects to choose from. Hyperpresets allow you to have up to 32 different sounds on the keyboard at one time in any desired arrangement. Sounds can be placed side by side or layered with velocity control. The ability to respond multi-timbrally to all 16 MIDI channels makes Morpheus ideally suited for multitrack sequencing and composing using a MIDI sequencer.
