Jordan Rudess Wizdom Music MorphWiz

MorphWiz is the second app to bare the Jordan Rudess name. MorphWiz was inspired by the Haken Continuum Fingerboard, a MIDI instrument that Jordan uses on stage and in the studio with Dream Theater. The Haken Continuum Fingerboard features greater pitch range than a traditional 88 note MIDI keyboard, because it offers real-time continuous control on three axes for every finger that is placed on the playing surface, according to Jordan.

Like the Continuum, Jordan Rudess’ MorphWiz is a vertical grid based musical instrument.

The MorphWiz features 50 custom Jordan Rudess-created patches that show off the power of MorphWiz.

Features:

• Assign audio waveforms as visual shapes to the grid and morph between them with your fingers on the grid or the accelerometer.

• Advanced pitch control allows the player to round the pitch of the initial attack of any note. It also recognizes when your finger stops after a slide, and rounds your notes to the nearest diatonic pitch.

• Rounding pitch on initial attack.

• Rounding pitch after a slide.

• Independent pitch and synthesis control for up to 10 simultaneous notes.

• Finger Vibrato Effect (FVE) where you can achieve vibrato even when lock pitch is selected and the pitch is snapping to the grid.

• Velocity Controlled Animation (VCA) in sync with your musical performance.

• Control over what parameters you see on the screen.

• Adjustable location for performance controls.

• Editing never interrupts the sound and audio output.

• Trippy full-color, animated particles, fire, and ring effects visually radiate under your fingertips and contain real time pitch information.

• Choose from a wide variety of scales and chords to assign to the playing surface with easy customization.

• Choose to display names of notes or intervals to help guide you.

• Consistent color display for pitch lines which indicate each step if the scale.

• Playing surface is adjustable between 1 and 6 octaves.

• Performance controls include octave shift, pitch lock on/off, record to delay buffer on/off, infinity delay setting on/off, and multi-function slider.

• Unison detuning effect with separate pan control for that classic analog thickness.

• FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesis can be assigned to the vertical grid or accelerometer.

• Wave Sync Synthesis (WSS) can also be assigned to the vertical grid or accelerometer.

• Volume separately assignable to vertical grid.

• Adjustable note attack and release time.

• Infinite-Track Loop (ITL) recorder features user-selectable measures and beats.

• Record Undo and Redo.

• Reverse play.

• FX include digital delay, stereo chorus, and tremolo, the latter of which is assignable to the X-Axis.
