Description
- Metamorf is an analog voltage and MIDI controlled multiple digital filter and mixer, with an analog look and feel and digital precision, accuracy and tuning and tracking stability.
- Metamorf can be used as a VCF, or rather 6 of them, as a VCLF, as a bias module, as a 4-quadrant modulator, as a mixer, well two of them and that is just scratching the surface.
- One VCF really consists of two 12 dB/oct. state variable filters with individual response, which can be routed in series of parallel. This allows for 2 12 dB/oct. filters in parallel, a 24 dB/oct. filter or a cascade of two filters with different responses.
- Metamorf has an extensive modulation matrix which can use any CV input or VCF or MIDI as a source and route it to all possible modulations, like FM, QM (resonance), Separation, 4-quadrant AM and Ping. Cross-modulation and exact frequency ratios and detune allow for precise multiple filter patches.
- By assigning modulation depths to CV inputs and using the Bias pots, one has immediate control over any modulation. Minimum and maximum modulation depth can be set separately from -1 to +1, allowing e.g. 2 (or more) parameters to be controlled in reverse from 1 Bias pot. MIDI controllers can be used for the same purpose, and at the same time all CV inputs remain available.
- All settings can be stored in user presets, and there is a bunch of great factory presets as well to get you started.
- The user interface features a graphical OLED display, 3 encoders and 6 pushbuttons for fast access to all parameters in all modules, without the need for menu diving.
- Metamorf is designed and manufactured in Belgium.
- Electronics and firmware design by Wim Verheyen.
- Conceptual consultancy and early testing for usability by Boris Uytterhaegen.
Features
- Eurorack 28 HP, 35mm depth.
- Digital module with analog ins and outs, analog look and feel.
- Values are indicated in musical units like steps, cents, Hz, seconds.
- Analog controlled 2 or 4-pole digital state-variable filter x 6. One output per filter.
- Two mix outputs. Six assignable inputs per mixer, can be VCF outputs or CV inputs.
- Frequency follows first filter with detune and Fine Hz or independent frequency control or frequency ratio per filter.
- 1V/oct, 10 octaves range, perfect tracking and stability.
- 2 frequency ranges per filter.
- Classic responses (LP, BP, HP, BR (notch), PK (peak), ALL), selectable per filter.
- Voltage or MIDI Controlled Exponential FM, Thru-zero Linear FM, QM, Separation and AM per filter.
- Exponential FM, Tru-zero Linear FM, QM, Separation and AM index (depth) control from CV inputs or VCF outputs.
- All modulations from zero to full depth from DC to 20 kHz.
- 6 freely assignable CV modulation inputs with initial and depth control (no analog attenuverters, digital attenuverters) and peak detect indicator on display. Can also be used as signal inputs.
- 2 freely assignable signal inputs, with depth control and peak indicator on display, can also be used as CV inputs.
- 6 freely assignable gate inputs for pinging (positive edge, negative edge, both edges).
- Cross modulation or cascading of each parameter of each filter.
- 16 bit resolution on all inputs and outputs, sample rate is 100 kHz.
- Easy parameter navigation : 4-line 21-character graphic OLED display, 3 encoders, 6 buttons, no menus.
- Useful factory presets.
- 2 banks of 64 user presets.
- MIDI input for free firmware and preset updates and MIDI notes (note number (ST) 60 is middle C (C4)), velocity, after touch, continuous controllers and preset selection (bank and program change).
- MIDI controller "learn" mode immediately assigns a MIDI controller as a modulation source.
- Extensive User Manual, which is needed for a complex module like this.
- Handy Patch sheets in Pages and Word format.
- Power requirements : +12 V 170 mA, -12 V 75 mA.
