Chapter 5 Morph | 13

Morphing

Morphing allows you to be creative in your sound design, and is

all about being able to control virtually any important sound related

parameter, in real time from the two Morph sources: the Modulation

Wheel & Control Pedal and the velocity of the keyboard.

There are 22 available continuous parameters that can be Morphed.

This gives you plenty of real-time control possibilities. A Morph is very

simple to set up and use, and all Morph assignments that you make

are stored with the program or performance.

Many, if not all of the factory programs have morph assigned param-

eters. If a program uses a Wheel or velocity Morph, the green Morph

indicators on the panel will be lit to indicate this.

A Morph Source controls the range from the parameter’s original

position in the program, to a position you deﬁne when you set up the

Morph.

This means that you can control a very small range on one param-

eter at the same time as you control a very large range on a another

parameter. One parameter can be controlled clockwise, and another

parameter can be controlled counter clockwise.

The Morphs

Let’s look at the Morph Sources:

Wheel/Control Pedal

This allows you to use the Modulation Wheel

or incoming MIDI CC 01 messages and/or a

control pedal as the Morph Source.

•The bottom position of the Modulation Wheel and/or control pedal

represents the parameters original setting.

•The top position of the Modulation Wheel or control pedal represents

the parameters morphed setting.

 If the control pedal is set to control the overall volume of the Nord

Lead A1, in the System Menu, the wheel and incoming MIDI

CC11 messages will be the Morph source. In addition to this, if

Wheel Mode in the System menu is set to Vibrato, incoming MIDI

CC11 will be the only Wheel/Pedal Morph source.

Velocity

This Morph source uses the Note Velocity from the Nord Lead A1

keyboard and from any incoming MIDI messages.

•A key velocity of 1 represents the parameters original setting.

•A key velocity of 127 represents the parameters maximum morphed

setting.

Assign a Morph source to a parameter

1 Hold a Morph Source button.

2 Move the knob of the parameter you wish to control with the

Morph Source. Turn it to the setting you want as the maximum

Morphed setting.

The selected parameter’s green LED will indicate that a Morph is

active.

3 Release the Morph Source button.

When the Morph source is operated, the parameter’s setting will

change accordingly and inﬂuence the sound.

If the original setting of a parameter is changed after a Morph is setup,

the Morph range will not be affected, but it will “move” to reﬂect the

new initial setting of the parameter.

Morph parameters

A Morph can control most of the continuous parameters. Each one of

these have a green LED next to its knob:

Reverb Dry/Wet can not be Morphed with velocity.

Morph

1. Hold a morph button... 2. ..turn a knob from here to here. 3. Use the Mod Wheel to Morph

the parameter within that range.

4. Adjusting the parameter setting

moves the Morph range.
