Leave a Review MorphWiz
Recording
This app is awesome, but for me, they have do improve the recording features. It will be perfect if Morphwiz have the same or better recordings parameters like the ThumbJam application. It will be cool if they add options like record loops and sessions. I use the ThumbJam app and the FourTrack app to create my own music so I can enjoy it in a Cd or my iPod. I want to record full length song with morphwiz but actually I can't. So please Mr. Ruddes, improve the feature or recording, this will be extremely helpful to the recording musicians like me. Besides that, this app is perfect.Show lessMassacreXE
Awesome...for a little while at least.
Looks as if the issues with failing to load properly on older iPhones still hasn't been totally resolved. App will not start consistently on my 3G running OS 4.0.1.
However, the two times it did actually open up, this app blew mind. I mean, this is a fully playable continuum with sounds; you can't ask for much more from a iPhone instrument. In fact, if they can get the issues resolved I fully intend to use the app as an instrument onstage with my band.
This app is beyond words cool, just wish they'd hammer out these bugs.Show lessDA Siano
First Music Instrument for iPad...
that allows me to play music with expression. To groove! This includes several strokes of genius that converts the iPad into an instrument instead of attempting to imitate an instrument. By setting up so that only the correct notes are played (by selecting the scale and modality) in tune (with rounding to the nearest note) even babbling sounds good, and with practice it can become an actual instrument like the Chapman Stick, but instead this should be called the Rudess Pad.
Great Music App! Great Job!
UPDATE: Thanks guys for your effort. This version does load and play on my underpowered 3G iPhone. Now I can riff on the go!Show lessSambula
I'm dumbfounded by how awesome this is
It works just fine on my iPhone 4, the downside of using it on an iPhone is you're not going to be able to do quite so much with it as you can on an iPad, but, good god... I've been a musician since 8, starting on clarinet, moving to guitar at 14, and I remember begging my father for an early Moog synth... this is that, this is more, this is something completly new in many ways. I can even see using this at a jam session...Show lessNo Free Lunches
The first truly great new instrument since the invention of the synth
Wow, this is an amazing accomplishment. This represents the first truly great new interface design in many, many years. Not only is it imminently playable and musical, but the visual component actually assists in the creation of the music. There is a tremendous amount to explore here, and I've barely scratched the surface, but this definitely turns the iPad into a true performance instrument, and the iPhone into a great entertainment device. There's a lot to like here, for both amateur and professional musicians. Be sure to watch the tutorial videos at the authors' site.Show lesssalcorn
Beautiful...
Disclosure - I know and admire Jordan, and worked with him and Dream Theater on "Octavarium" and "Score" (you can see me conducting on the latter). I have tried to put aside those facts for this review, and have looked at MorphWiz on it's own terms.
I love this! If you have seen or played the Haken Continuum, you know what an expressive and liberating tool it is. This app has much of the same vibe at a much lower price point, and is a synthesizer as well (the Haken is solely a controller). It's actually a playable musical instrument, and gets beyond the traditional keyboard interface and "into the cracks" between the keys, more like a violin. The fact that it is multi-touch (you can play and bend several notes independently) is just amazing.
I have had absolutely no problems running it on an iPhone 3GS (with OS 3.1.1). I think this app would be really wonderful on an iPad, given the multi-touch capability. The larger screen would give greater much pitch resolution. I have to say it's the first music app to get me seriously thinking about getting an iPad.
$9.99 may seem high for an iPhone app, but given the imagination and musicality put into this tool, I think it's a bargain.Show lessMen Of Rock
Okay ! . !
I don,t know much about music. I just bought this app because it has been on the top charts for some time now. It is weerd. I will be playing around with it more than the other music app because it is so different. A 4 star rating for now and when I see some of the complaints address by others I will be glad to update to 5 stars. Now it is up to the makers and their update.
As I said I would do, give you 5 stars, if you guys fix what others were asking. HERE IS *5* STARS ... I see you were already on it.... MagicShow lessMagic4Us
Works fine on my iPod Touch with 4.0
I'm fortunate to have had Jordan show me this on his iPad, but as I only have an iPod Touch (3rd gen. Mod. MC011LL) I waited for this to come out. I had put 4.0 on it the day before I got it, and it didn't want to start the first time, but has been been just fine since. I showed Jordan and he was very happy with the way it responded- it seems to do everything it is supposed to, which is really a lot! I haven't had a lot of time to play with it, but I can already tell that $10 was nothing to pay for this. I am very tempted to get an iPad just to run it- he uses one with it in his rig on stage. I have said: if I walked into a music store and found this on something like an iPad, dedicated, for $800, I would think it's incredibly cool and a very good deal. I hope you that are having problems with it get a solution soon...Show lessmichaelkenney
Bebot refined, with some misses.
I agree with the other reviewer in the comparisons to bebot. The configurability is great, but the sound is less inviting. Especially in the higher ranges, personally I find the sounds a little cold and digital. This app could really benefit from asdr filters to warm up those waveforms. I could tell it could sound great with that simple addition. I think for those looking for synthesis as a feature instrument it probably sounds great as is. But for those looking for synthesis as an unobtrusive part of a track it misses.
Edit: found a few bugs. You can't hide the preset name without also hiding the preset arrows, which I guess makes sense. Also, I can get the output to clip (iPhone 4g) on some of the presets. Usually toward the top of the screen with multiple voices. Bebot suffers from this even worse actually.Show lessThermos79
Wicked...
This is my first review for any app on iPad, but as an long time Dream Theater fan as well as all Jordan's side projects I was moved to put my thoughts down. This is an amazing App. Does exactly was it sets out to do.
As a musician for many years, I read many of the reviews that touted it as a real instrument and dismissed them thinking ti wasn't possible.
This is the real deal folks, thar standard patches are beautiful, not to mention that You can tweak and make your own, which I haven't even begun ti do. Do not hesitate to buy this app, you will not regret it whatsoever.Show lessH. bear
