The Morpheus sound library produced by Sonic Couture is a modular analog instrument. Named after the Greek god of sleep, it is a sample of aluminum percussion instrument performance, with a dreamy and slightly vibrato,' glass-like' sound quality. Based on the Kontakt engine.
Named after the Greek god of dreams, the Morpheus is an aluminum percussion instrument made by US company friends. The instrument is modular; We can rearrange the keys in any order you like, as they attached each metal bar to its own tuned resonator.
The instrument is available in several sizes - the version we sampled is two-and-a-half octaves, with the optional 'bass Wing' extension which offers six notes ranging another octave below that of the fundamental unit. The keys are struck with custom mallets, also built by Free notes, and ring freely afterward. There is no damping mechanism.
The Morpheus is one of the cleanest, purest sounds you will hear - add tremolo and it sounds very much like a vibraphone, but with an extra 'glass-like' quality. Used with subtle delay and phase effects it takes on a hypnotic quality, showing why it is often used for meditative healing. Roll off the attack transient and you're left with an almost perfect sine-wave, but not quite; the gloss and shimmer of the metal remain, ** serene yet characterful sustained tones.
The striking clarity of tone enables the Morpheus to cut any melody through any mix, but never in a brash way - ** it an essential addition to your sonic paint box.
