Zero-G Morphology Plug-in Virtual Instrument
MORPHOLOGY is a powerfully atmospheric
virtual instrument featuring over 3 Gb of evolving soundscapes, dream synth
patches and samples for film composers and sound designers, created from scratch
by IAN BODDY, one of the UK's most celebrated synthesists, and a veteran of the
European electronic music scene since the late 1970s.
About the Producer
Boddy has over 20 solo
albums to his credit, runs the ambient label DiN, has composed 6 library music
CDs for DeWolfe Music and has previously created numerous popular sample
libraries for Zero-G including Ambient 1 & 2, Malice In Wonderland and Dream
Zone. His exclusive sound archives and arsenal of vintage and modern synths have
been extensively plundered to create the unique and inspiring new library that
you will find within this powerful virtual instrument.
In the Producer's
Words:
''Morphology is
not your average sound library. You're not going to find drum loops, techo
samples or any "real" instruments here. What I hope you will discover is a
world of soundscapes that morph and evolve over time, and which range from the
awesomly beautiful to the teeth-grindingly nasty. A range of gorgeous synth pads
using meticulously crafted multi-sampled analogue waveforms. All wrapped up in a
very powerful and easy to use front end. In short sounds that will inspire you
to make your own music.'' - the producer - IAN BODDY

Reviews
"Kompakt provides a fairly straightforward but
nevertheless very versatile front end for the playback of sample libraries of
this kind, and while the 3GB Morphology core sample library is impressive, it is
even more impressive to be able to edit the sounds so easily. Morphology should
please anyone who's into realistic-sounding analogue synths or evolving
textures, and even if you already have Spectrasonics' Atmosphere, it offers a
different take on the genre. All in all, this is a pretty impressive workshop of
weirdness that manages to be both different and musically useful." (SOUND ON SOUND MAGAZINE, UK)
"Outstandingly moody and emotional sounds,
effects and ambiences....A potential lifesaver in music-for-picture
applications, and killer for music composition too....The size of the sound
library is impressive...There's a lot of quality material here. Harmonic Loops
holds some of the most beautiful sounds in the entire collection. They'd be
great for communicating longing, sorrow, tears of joy. Strong but quiet
emotions. They're the kind of thing that'll likely turn up in a lot of TV
movies... Big kudos to Boddy's collaborator Markus Reuters for his contributions
here. ...it could be argued that Boddy's done all your work for you.....but some
composers will likely thank their lucky stars for the completeness of some of
these patches. They're a potential boon to the music-for-picture crowd. But in
the final analysis, this work is so well done, so imbued with mood and emotion,
that it's a pleasure to recommend it." (KEYBOARD, USA)
"Terrific sounds in a flexible user interface... it's worth
buying simply for the sounds. They'll blow you away!... The samples were created
by veteran synthesist and electro-musician Ian Boddy....Ian's style makes much
use of textures; he's a past master of analogue synthesis and seems to be able
to wring the last ounce of potential out of a sample... The samples are best
described as evolving, morphing, multi-waveform sounds - full of interest and
excitement. They range from the subtle, calm and inspirational to down and
dirty, hard industrial tones and drones... A good selection of pads and
arpeggiations, bells, clusters, pitched and noise-based effects. The Harmonic
Loops are particularly musical and inspirational, while the Voices collection
ranges from the angelic to the demonic. Ian Boddy has certainly brought all his
skills and expertise to bear in the creation of these sounds... There's no
denying the quality of the material here... A stunning collection of sounds
suitable for use in a wide range of music, particularly styles with a synth or
electronic foundation. Some textures would even fit well into a rock or pop
context... Ian Boddy says that the collection was designed to "inspire you to
make your own music" - and if you have a soul, that's what it will do. If the
muse has left you, play these to encourage its return... Why Buy? Superb sounds
and textures, powerful editing facilities, integrated effects, Standalone and
plug-in versions." (MUSIC TECH MAGAZINE, UK)
"Morphology is an easy-to-use packaging of a sample library
that sounds great. I can imagine it finding a home in many post-production and
soundtrack studios. The combination of sample library with an instrument to play
it is an idea whose time has come - if you don't want to learn (or pay for) a
"deep" instrument like Kontakt, and you want to be immediately productive with
well-produced sounds, it's great....Boddy has done a great job with Morphology
of producing interesting, usable sounds... But I also think that he's done for
his customers some of the work they should be doing for
themselves." (GROOVES
MAGAZINE, USA)
"...seemingly endless,
evolving textures kissed with just the right effects to create emotionally
charged soundscapes... an evocative journey of constant movement through time
and space... Morphology is as ideal for film work as it is a source of unique
transitions for trance and house anthems, brilliant backdrops for downbeat, or
quickly adding character to pop tunes." (REMIX MAGAZINE, USA)
