Hi there,

I've been watching the Prosoniq mailing list and received the
following some time ago. I only have a PC and there is no PC demo yet
(only some pretty impressive audio files) so I'd be curious to hear
some opinions from actual users before I buy it. I have several
Prosoniq plug ins and I'm fully satisfied so far, but I thought I'd
ask anyway. I'm using Fruity Loops and WinXP.

Thanks

Karlsruhe, Germany, September 12, 2003 - Prosoniq today announce the
availability of their newest product from their online distributors
and
stores around the world within the next 4 weeks. PROSONIQ morph is a
MIDI-controllable, fully automatable VST/VST X and RTAS/RTAS X
compatible plug in for the Mac and a VST Plugin for the PC that
achieves
an exclusive and novel effect: it is the world's first realtime audio
morphing plug in that allows creating seamless morphing transitions
and
hybrid sounds by in-betweening the character of your audio tracks.
Based
on the same cutting-edge technology employed in all of Prosoniq's
products, PROSONIQ morph recognizes important features in your sounds
and automatically matches them to create a musically pleasing morph.
Whether you wish to create vocal lines impossible to be sung by a
human,
whether you are looking for new ways to create overwhelming sound
effects from existing sounds or new instruments that do not exist in
the
physical world, PROSONIQ morph makes it all possible without the nasty
artifacts of traditional signal processing. Where traditional methods
end, PROSONIQ morph adds a new and unique dimension for sound design
to
your canvas of creative tools.


PROSONIQ morph - Real-Time Audio Morphing Plugin

Have you ever wondered if it is possible to seemlessly morph from one
sound to another? To create those stunning effects when an object
slowly
changes its shape to become another object, but only for sounds?
Remember how much fun it was creating new faces from photographs of
your
friends, trying to get a glimpse of how children may look like from
the
faces of the parents? Now you can do the same with your favourite
sounds! PROSONIQ morph is the world's first realtime audio morphing
plug
in for your preferred platform. The same people who developed the
first
automatic audio morphing software for the Atari ST in 1983 and for the
Macintosh and the SGI in 1993 are now releasing PROSONIQ morph as
world's first audio morphing software running in real time on your
favorite host application. But that's not all: remember how difficult
it
sometimes was matching the individual features of the input pictures
to
get a good image morph? PROSONIQ morph does it all for you. Based on
the
same cutting-edge technology employed in all of Prosoniq's products,
PROSONIQ morph recognizes important features in your sounds and
automatically matches them to create a musically pleasing result.
Whether you wish to create vocal lines impossible to be sung by a
human,
whether you are looking for new ways to create overwhelming sound
effects from existing sounds or new instruments that do not exist in
the
physical world, PROSONIQ morph makes it all possible without the nasty
artifacts of traditional signal processing. Where traditional methods
end, PROSONIQ morph adds a new and unique dimension for sound design
