About

Morphimus

Read full description

Morphimus is a playful, touch-first synth playground that turns simple gestures into rich, musical sound. Tap bubbles, slide the rainbow strip, spin the orbit wheel, glide along the tone stream, and jam drum pads to shape bright plucks, dreamy clouds, punchy beats, zappy FX, and flowing wave textures. With expressive live controls, colorful motion, and fast, responsive audio, Morphimus offers a fresh, hands-on way to explore music on iPhone and iPad. With advanced randomization features, exploration is at the heart of the experience. Re-roll the individual sound flavors to get a vastly different timbre, or use the global re-roll to roll a random combination of play style, sound flavor, key, and effects. You can also save and recall your favorite sounds.
