Frequently Asked Questions - Morphagene Make Noise
How do I load samples onto the Morphagene?
Prepare a microSD card formatted as FAT32. Place audio files (WAV or AIFF) in the root directory or a folder named 'morphagene'. Insert the card and power on the module. Use the File knob to select the file you want to play.
What is the difference between a Gene and a Splice?
A Splice is a single audio segment (a cue) within a file. A Gene is a collection of Splices that are played sequentially as a phrase. You can organise Splices into different Genes to create variations or arrangements.
Can I use Morphagene as a looper?
Yes, by setting the Mod knob to Loop mode and specifying a short Gene length, the Morphagene will continuously loop the selected audio. You can achieve classic tape looping with the Shift and SPLICE controls.
How do I format the microSD card for the Morphagene?
Use a computer to format the card to FAT32 with a cluster size of 4096 bytes or default. Avoid using exFAT or NTFS. After formatting, create a folder named 'morphagene' (if desired) and copy audio files there.
What does the MOD function do?
The Mod knob controls the modulation or playback mode of the Morphagene. It selects between options like Constant Speed, Variable Speed, Reverse, and Loop. The LED indicator shows the selected mode.
How do I update the firmware on the Morphagene?
Download the latest firmware from the Make Noise website. Copy the update file to a microSD card formatted as FAT32. Insert the card, power off the module, then power on while holding the File button. Follow the on-module LED indicators until the update completes.
What are the power requirements for the Morphagene?
The Morphagene requires a +12V rail at 100mA and a -12V rail at 25mA. It does not require the 5V rail. Ensure your Eurorack power supply can provide these currents.
How deep is the Morphagene module?
The module's depth is approximately 34 mm from the front panel to the back of the PCB. This is compatible with most Eurorack cases and skiffs with adequate clearance.
How do I create seamless loops with the Morphagene?
To create a seamless loop, use the Shift button to set splice points precisely, then set the Mod knob to Loop. Adjust the Gene length so the loop points align perfectly with zero-crossings or audio transients.
Is Morphagene a stereo module?
Yes, the Morphagene is fully stereo with two audio inputs and two audio outputs. It processes and records stereo audio, allowing you to work with width and spatial samples.
