Immerse yourself in the vintage world of 60s and 70s music with Morphiza – an enthralling VST instrument from Krakli. This plugin is inspired by the iconic transistor organs of that era, whose unique sound left a significant mark on music history, from psychedelic rock to funk and soul.
Morphiza: A Return to the Sounds of the 60s and 70s
Transistor organs of that era differed from their predecessors. They often had a sharper, “ringing” or even somewhat “dirty” sound, which became a hallmark of many hits. It is this special atmosphere that Morphiza strives to convey, offering musicians and producers access to authentic vintage timbres that are perfect for creating music with a retro feel or for adding unexpected textures to modern compositions.
A Unique Approach to Sound Control
The key difference of Morphiza from many other virtual organs is the abandonment of the traditional drawbar system. Instead, Krakli implemented an intuitive interface based on a series of “Harmonic Tone” and “Boost” controls.
More on Control Elements:
- Harmonic Tone Knobs: These controls allow you to shape the timbre, affecting the harmonic composition of the sound. They offer flexible control over harmonics, which can lead to unique and experimental sounds that go beyond classic organ registers.
- Boost Knobs: Boost controls are designed to amplify certain aspects of the sound, adding presence or even slight distortion, which is characteristic of vintage transistor equipment. This adds character and aggressiveness to the sound of Morphiza.
This approach makes Morphiza accessible even to those unfamiliar with classic drawbars, and also opens up space for creative experimentation, allowing you to quickly create a wide palette of timbres: from soft pads to sharp leads and rich chords.
Sound Palette of Morphiza
Thanks to the combination of Harmonic Tone and Boost controls, Morphiza reproduces a rich and diverse palette of sounds that reflects the versatility of transistor organs of the 60s and 70s. You can get clean, ringing timbres, perfect for pop music of those years, or add more “dirt” and distortion to create aggressive, psychedelic or garage sounds. The plugin perfectly conveys dynamics, allowing you to expressively play both quiet passages and powerful chords.
Application in Music
