Bro, that was insane!!! Thank you so much, not only for the beautiful music and the great overview of Morphagene, but also for the introduction to this incredible instrument. I came here because I thought about getting a Morphagene. Now I think about getting a Sape! xD
Thanks, man! Glad you enjoyed it! If you come to Indonesia one day, I can make one for you!
Really interesting and I enjoyed it very much
Beautiful
Thank you!
As a guitar player, I'm flat out mesmerized by the uncanny lute-ness of the Sape. Such a gorgeous sound. Totally familiar, totally alien; all at once.
Couldn't agree more.
Lovely instrument
Not only did I learn about the Morphagene, I also finished the video feeling very inspired. Amazing work man, thanks
Glad to hear it, thanks Jack!

Thank you! Glad you enjoy it.
Very clear and instructive, beautiful sounds of your Sape.
Thank you, Jessica!
This is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing this. I will look at my Morphagene in a different way after this!
Thanks! It's a powerful machine.
That was absolutely incredible, reverb is fantastic as well.
Thanks!
Learned so much about the Morphagene from this!
Thanks!
Thank you, a wonderful tutorial on how you use the Morphagene with an acoustic instrument, yes I agree with you, the Sape is a beautiful sounding instrument!
Cheers, Cam for the kind words! I hope you find this tutorial useful! :)
What a beautiful video! Now I want a sape. 😅 I really have to explore this module more. Great demo! 🙌
This unreal. What a powerful tool
Thank you!
Very nice instrument and cool combinarion of classic acustic and veey modern modular tech. Lovely!
Thank you, Arne. It's beautiful, isn't it?
Wow. Beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
oh yes, that’s how you do it. beautiful sounds man!
Thanks man!
Great video thanks
Never seen your instrument before. Will read about it during my nightshift. Sounds very nice.
Thanks!
Ahhh that’s so beautiful 😍
Thank you!
Lovely in every respect. Respect.
Thank you, Warren! Glad you like it.
Sape sounds really awesome! thanks for this video!
It does! Thank you for watching!
Baséput may I ask which is the best place to buy Sape from? Preferably online stores. 😁
Sounds awesome! Thanks for the video, great work! I’ve been tempted to get morphagene and your video is very convincing.
Thank you, it's a great instrument for sure!
Yo this was freaking gorgeous! I’m about to be getting a morphagene real soon but I hadn’t really thought of using live instruments with it yet. Thank you very much for this video.
No worries, man! Glad you like the video. Yeah Morphagene is ace!
Very inspiring, thanks!
Thank you!
Beautiful instrument, beautiful playing. I cant wait for my Morpagene to arrive. Big learning curve but worth it.
You'll love it!
Nice
Really nice sonding instrument and nice way of using morphagene
Thank you!
Incredible.
Thanks!
Subbed … thank you for such amazing inspiration … beautiful playing as well 😊👏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks!
Phenomenal!
Thanks!
It is very beautiful, very pleasant to listen to with an interesting demonstration. It reminds me of the music of Laraaji / Brian Eno.
Thank you for the kind words!
Beautiful stuff man!
Thanks Tyrone!
Splendid, you have a new suscriber
Thank you!
great!!! subscribed.
Thanks!
dude, you are amazing.
Wow, thanks!
Wonderful! Subscribed :)
Thanks for the sub!
unbelievable!
Thanks!
cool video (and man you are one of a supra-reverb enjoyer for sure)
Thanks! 😃 I hope that's not too much in this video ha ha.
Nicely shown! And there is the fact that you can always add more reverb....
Thanks a lot! Reverb is the sauce!
amazing
Thanks!
one of the most musical and beautiful demos of the Morphagene out there. thank you.
Wow, thank you!
wow! holy crap!
Hope you like it!
Magical swirls of joy
Couldn't agree more!
How is even posible you have just 312 subs. Amazing! No brain sub!
Cheers!
I would really like to what the stereo inputs are coming from to get the acoustic signal into the morphagene and also where the outputs are going. A lot of videos dont mention the whole cable path and what gear you are using, and this would be essential for beginners since its not always obvious. Also what type of cable or connector, TRS, TS, headphone cable, 1/4 inch 3.5 etc...
Thanks for the input, maybe I'll explain that in the next video. :)
You honestly deserve so many more subs with content like this. I wound up with a clouds in my rack and waved goodbye to the prospect of a morphagene, to avoid too many granular functions... Now I find myself reconsidering how many is too many.
Have you experimented with using some kind of footswitch to trigger the recording to keep your hands free to play? I imagine just using a clocked pulse every phrase to build upon the layers.
Hi, thanks and sorry for the late reply! Yeah that's the idea. It could be more easier if it was a pedal form. But yeah still looking find a foot switch. Do you have any suggestion?
@ @ritualelectronics Have Pointeuse in a 1U format, but I'm not aware of any of 3U modules at the moment. Something could possibly be rigged up using MI Ears, but I'm not that familiar with all of the functionality.
It can generate a gate signal from an input, so maybe even a Piezo on the floor which you can tap next to for a trigger would suffice.
great video. this damn thing is responsible getting into modular. so i have a system now without a morphagene in it. i just can't get one. its a fucking curse. I need this thing sooooo bad.
arguably the greatest piece of gear i've ever heard in my 30 years gear experience. sitting here in studio watching beautiful videos about it its kinda sad :-(
i swear, once i get it, i would never ever give it away.......ever!
It's really great piece of instrument. Let me know how your journey with it!
Beautiful stuff. The Morphagene is such an amazing piece of kit. Can you tell me how you get the instrument into it? I see you have a couple of stackables in the Morphahene's inputs, I assume your Sape has a standard instrument out, so what are you using to go from it to the patch cables?
Couldn't agree more! Sure, here is my chain: from my standard instrument out, the Sape goes to a preamp (this could be anything, but I use the Valeton Acoustic pedal and use Morphagene's auto levelling the purple one - see 2:41), then I multiple the out use the converter from 1/8 to 1/4 and goes stereo into Morphagene. Hope it's clear enough.
@ Yes, thanks!
Baséput hey that’s cool ! Quick question, what’s the advantage of going stereo in here ? Your original audio is mono right ?
👌🙏🙏🙏
Masura bagatta!
this sold me on morphagene... time to sell a bunch of pedals
It's a powerful instrument!
Beautiful music, excellent video tutorial .(just ordered a 2nd Morphagene). Curious, what is the Mic you are using? thanks, best wishes.
Thanks! I am using Rode NT1.
@ Thanks again.
Very nice ! Just picked up the morphagene myself.. I was wondering , how are you micing or getting a signal from the sape?
Thanks! I use a preamp (GAP Pre 73) then the signal goes to my Morphagene with its internal gain applied.
Where can I buy a sape'? I'm in love. I use mostly acoustic guitar and vocals in my Morphagene and I love the results. I love what you are doing here. Beautiful sounds. I use open tunings almost exclusively. I wish I had the money to get a fancy guitar with drones and a harp on it... but I have modules to buy. So, even if I could buy a sape' I probably wouldn't, but man, what a wonderful sound.
Thank you for your kind words! Nowadays the Sape is only available from a luthier in Indonesia and Malaysia, especially in Kalimantan (known internationally as "Borneo") island. Most of the musicians have made it by themselves or it is custom order. Glad you like the sound of it.
In the US, you can easily acquire a mountain dulcimer, which is very, very similar in conception.
Beautiful! You are not only using Morohagene tho? You are using other fx Modules???
Yes, correct. I use Milky Way for the reverb and Magneto for the delay.
can you help me understand how you get the audio from the instrument into the morph? Is it going into the computer first and back out through your interface or a module? Where is the reverb along the chain?
Sure, here is my chain: from my standard instrument out, the Sape goes to a preamp (this could be anything, but I use the Valeton Acoustic pedal and use Morphagene's auto levelling the purple one - see 2:41), then I multiple the out use the converter from 1/8 to 1/4 and goes stereo into Morphagene. Then the chain from Morphagene goes to WMD Performance Mixer where I have my aux 1 (stereo send) to Endorphines Milky Way. Then the rest of the audio goes to my audio interface. Let me know if you have other questions!
This video makes me want to get morphagene and some balinese gamelan to play around with
That'd be great, Raka! Let me know once you have the Morphagene. :)
That's a serious wash of reverb. Sounds beautiful.
Thanks! Endorphines Milky Way is ace!
amazing! do you have a reel of your Sape?
Yep, I have to find out first!
@ Awesome, cheers - it sounds amazing
Well, that's one of the fastest like and subscribes I've done on a channel I've never seen before. Wow.
Thanks, man! Glad you like it!
hey man im gonna get my morphagene in 2 or 3 days!! i couldn't be happier. the only thing is there is only 2 videos about how to update the firmware. eventho the morphagene has a sd card slot, you need to play a wav file on it for updating the firmware. i hate that kind of firmware installation so much. my braids and edges didn't work after that kind of procedure. do you know where i need to plug the out and input to update the firmware. i mean in those videos i see 2 patch cable left and right. those are going into my interface i imagine. but where to plug them rightfully?i can even find the corect way on the manual:-( would be great hearing from you.
Hi man, sorry for the late reply. Have you successfully updated it?
You can also just e-mail Make Noise, they’ve always been super responsive and helpful
Hey Baseput, where can i buy a Sape? Thanx
I can get it one for you!
seriously, do you have recording of you playing the sape that sound like this?
I do yep, just go to my website--> www.rayhansudrajat.com
What is it in D Maj?
Yep, it's in D Maj pentatonic.
Kalimantan mana bang?
Saya dari Bandung.
Hey man how are you pluggin your instrument into the the morphagene with the stackables? Where are the patch cables going to from morphagene?
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
