SpectMorph 0.5.2 released

A new version, SpectMorph 0.5.2 is available at www.spectmorph.org.

SpectMorph (LV2/VST plugin, JACK) is able to morph between samples of musical instruments. A standard set of instruments is shipped with SpectMorph, and an instrument editor is available to create user defined instruments from user samples.

With this release, the SpectMorph LFO can be synchronized with the song tempo. This allows morphing frequency to be specified as note length (for instance quarter notes). As a related new feature, the playback speed of samples (user defined instruments) can be controlled using automation/LFOs, so it is possible to time-stretch a sample as needed to be synchronized to the song tempo. To see how to use the new possibilities, I recommend these tutorials:

• Beat Sync / Positional Play (Tutorial Video)
• Instrument Editor (Tutorial Video)

A full list of all changes can be found here.

And finally here is a new piece of music made with SpectMorph:
