## What is MorphWiz?

Keyboard Magazine's November 2011 Key Buy Award! 

Winner of Electronic Musician's 2011 iPhone/iPod touch/iPad App Editors' Choice Award! 

Winner of Billboard Music App Awards 2010 Best Music Creation App! 

Winner of Best App Ever 2010 Award for Best Musical iPad App! 

MorphWiz from Wizdom Music, created by Jordan Rudess and Kevin Chartier. http://www.morphwiz.com 

"MorphWiz, by design, affords incredible expressive subtlety for anyone who explores its endless possibilities. Rock on!!!" Ge Wang, Co-Founder, CTO, and Chief Creative Officer of Smule (creators of Magic Piano) 

"Jordan's very capable use of his unique invention- MorphWiz must be a Godsend to his road crew. It's important to note that no Moog synthesizers were harmed in its production." 
Keith Emerson. 

"It's completely awesome and inspiring to play! 
Absolutely loving it!" 
Eric Persing-Spectrasonics 

MorphWiz is the second app to bear the Jordan Rudess name. MorphWiz is partly inspired by the Haken Continuum Fingerboard, a radically innovative and revolutionary MIDI instrument that Jordan uses on stage and in the studio with Dream Theater. 

Like the Continuum, Jordan Rudess' MorphWiz is a vertical grid based musical instrument that allows a whole new level of expressive control! 

If you're a beginner, you’ll love experimenting with all of the presets, but if you’re a professional musician, you will soon be blown away by one of the coolest methods of controlling sound that you've ever laid hands on. 

Jordan states, “Our goal was to create an instrument that would allow the seamless morphing of the audio and visual domain while delivering a seamless musical experience. I believe the iPhone/iPad multitouch platform opens up a whole new world of creation of electronic musical instruments and we’re proud MorphWiz is our first major offering. My experience and involvement with the Haken Continuum and extraordinary Bebot app brought to life an advanced pitch control system that is still uncharted territory for many in today’s music instrument world. This is the heart of MorphWiz.”

Over 80 Jordan Rudess-created patches 

FEATURES: 

• Assign audio waveforms as visual shapes to the grid and morph between them with your fingers on the grid or the accelerometer 
• Advanced pitch control allows the player to round the pitch of the initial attack of any note. It also recognizes when your finger stops after a slide, and rounds your notes to the nearest diatonic pitch 
• Rounding pitch on initial attack and/or after a slide 
• Independent control for up to 10 simultaneous notes 
• Finger Vibrato Effect (FVE) where you can achieve vibrato even when lock pitch is selected and the pitch is snapping to the grid! 
• Velocity Controlled Animation (VCA) in sync with your musical performance 
• Trippy full-color, animated particles, fire, and ring effects visually radiate under your fingertips and contain real time pitch information 
• Choose from a wide variety of scales and chords to assign to the playing surface with easy customization 
• Choose to display names of notes or intervals to help guide you 
• Performance controls include octave shift, pitch lock on/off, record to delay buffer on/off, infinity delay setting on/off, and multi-function slider 
• Unison detuning effect with separate pan control for that classic analog thickness 
• FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesis can be assigned to the vertical grid or accelerometer 
• Wave Sync Synthesis (WSS) can also be assigned to the vertical grid or accelerometer 
• Adjustable note attack and release time 
• FX include digital delay, stereo chorus, and tremolo

### 5/5 — Thank You

*2024-06-28*

Thank You

### 4/5 — Pregunta

*2021-05-05, version 1.3.3*

Alguien sabe cómo grabar lo que se está interpretando…?

### 3/5 — Funktioniert nicht richtig mit Audiobus

*2021-04-24*

Hallo Jordan Rudess, die App ist an sich sehr klasse und fördert die Kreativität. 
Die Idee sie auch in Audiobus z.B. mit zusätzlichen Effekten zu benutzen kam sofort. Habe es gleich mit Eventide probiert (z.B. Blackhole) Der Sound wird nicht an Blackhole weiter gegeben. Mit SampleWiz, Geo Synthesizer und GeoShred funktioniert das. Ein Update wäre super :-) best regards from Germany

### 2/5 — cant open the apps

*2019-12-01, version 1.3.3*

every open the apps directly close apps

### 4/5 — Why???

*2019-08-12, version 1.3.3*

One question: Why is such an amazing synth still not AB3 optimised or available as AUV3?
Any future plans of going in that direction?

### 4/5 — Spacewiz update request

*2018-11-25, version 1.3.3*

Please update and make Spacewiz compatible with the latest software and iPads thanks

### 4/5 — Compatibility

*2018-06-25*

No longer compatible with the latest garage band version!

### 2/5 — A bit limited.

*2018-06-03, version 1.3.3*

It’s ok as it goes, but it doesn’t work in AUM or Audiobus. I don’t know whether it’s supposed to but I’ve never been able to get it to load in either app.

Just thought I would add that after writing my review I emailed their support site. They have given up on this app because it’s now 2 weeks later and I haven’t received a reply. Not good customer care and I get the impression that they couldn’t care less. Think very carefully before you spend your money on any of these apps. Jordan Rudess comes across as a nice enough person in his videos but Wizdom Music is a letdown in my opinion. If they release any software in the future I don’t think I will be buying it.

### 5/5 — Updated for iOS 11

*2017-11-27, version 1.3.3*

Thanks a lot guys for updating this these fantastic apps. Very happy indeed :)

### 5/5 — One of the best synth apps ever

*2017-11-06, version 1.3.2*

I love this app, use it in performance.

It’s unique and beautiful and intuitive; and though It has been out for years, the developer keeps it updated.

You should buy this.
