6. Click the Morph button at the left to view morphing parameters, then click the Morph
XY button.
You can now morph between the four sources using the X and Y knobs. Follow steps 7
and 8 to assign the X and Y knobs to the left X/Y pad in the perform section.
7. Double-click the X knob to set it to zero, then Control-click the X knob and choose Add
Modulation > Perform > XYPad1X from the shortcut menu.
8. Double-click the Y knob to set it to zero, then Control-click the Y knob and choose Add
Modulation > Perform > XYPad1Y from the shortcut menu.
Create a linear morph between two speech samples in Alchemy
1. In MainStage, from the Name bar, click the File button and choose Initialize Preset from
the pop-up menu to reset all Alchemy parameters to default settings.
2. Switch to advanced view, then click the Morph button to show morphing parameters.
3. Click the source A select field, and choose Import Audio.
4. Locate the first of your speech samples and import it, using Additive, Spectral, or
Add+Spec mode. Turn on Formant mode before importing.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for source B and your second speech sample. Use the same
import mode as for the first sample, and make sure Formant mode is active.
6. Click the Morph button at the left to view morphing parameters, then click the Morph
Lin button to view linear morphing parameters.
7. Click the A-B button to change the linear morphing mode.
You can now use the X knob to morph between the two speech samples. Each
resynthesis method creates different sounding results even before morphing, and the
results halfway through the morph are dramatically different. Experiment with each
sample import method to determine which delivers the best outcome.
8. Control-click the X knob, then choose Add Modulation > Perform > Control 1 from the
shortcut menu.
