New Smart Morph function
The Smart Morph function uses machine learning for morphing FM-X sounds. MODX learns the sounds assigned to Parts 9 to 16 by sophisticated logic and plots each sound as a point on the Map. The distance of points indicates similarity of the sounds. This function automatically creates interpolated FM-X sounds to fill in the gaps on the map.
Touch a position on the map to assign the sound to Part 1. By selecting points you like in this way and saving the results, you can use this as a powerful tool for creating new FM-X sounds. You can also drag points on the map, or assign the behavior between any two points to the Super Knob--giving you unprecedented real-time control for expressively morphing the FM-X sound as you perform.
