Just got it! Using a paper print out for now. Sensitivity is great and very comparable to my Linnstrument. Bluetooth latency is good too. I’m having some sporadic loud notes where they will unexpectedly trigger at 100% volume. I need to investigate more as it may be user error or technique related.
I remembered I have an extra silicone Linnstrument surface laying around somewhere so I may try cutting it to fit the Morph. Roger sells them through his site for $45 for anyone interested.
You say bluetooth works for you, I found it never working reliably. I get too many stuck notes, can’t play a single song without at least one note stuck. That with the ideal combination, the Sensel and an iPad mini…
I would not cut up the LinnStrument silicon. I am very happy playing my Sensel without overlay with my own 6+ layout. Without the innovators I even get more space. I have a 7*13 grid, and though I can’t get the bend range be set to 13, which allows for a complete octave per row, I live with tuning by ear and the need to bend a bit over the target note.
I am demanding a simple change since years, but Sensel doesn’t have a dedicated programmer to do anything, even if its obviously simple: Add an entry in the menu for setting the distance called “custom”, open a window to type a number and hit ok… I don’t know if it requires some change in the firmware, but within Unity this could be done within less than an hour…
I hope Sensel finds a way to open source the firmware, then we could find a way to fix things our self…
Hi, i just saw your different overlay designs and like them very much - especially the Hangdrum and Drumpad Overlay seem very handy. Would you share the senselmap files (or sell those)?
Cheers!
Hi! Sorry, I’m a bit late to your question. I’ve never made the senselmap files for these, but I can look around if I can find the illustrator/pdf files for the design of the pads. You could print those and create a Senselmap based on them.
Wow, what a nice surprise. Thanks for your kind response. Since i don´t have illustrator (only affinity designer) I would love to use your Pdf files. So i would highly appreciate if you could post them here or send me an email to m.hobek@web.de. Maybe i can program some useful Maps with them. If so i share them of course!
Thanks and cheers, Hobek
Linnstrument player here who recently joined the Sensel crew. I got a Morph to be another, smaller, bluetooth Linnstrument, plus have other overlays and possibilities for my home studio.
I love it. 2.5 years after it’s been sunset and I love it.
I took the liberty of “updating” this senselmap to behave a little more like a real Linnstrument since it’s based on one.
Basically I changed all the note triggers to absolute Y so that the timbre slide (up and down) is contained to the square. It means you can do a timbre slide with minimal movement on each note. The larger change that I made is setting each note to “jump” quantize. It adds a bit of quantization to your pitch bending, but more importantly when you slide up or down a row it does a quick smooth pitch bend slide to that note.
The Linnstrument will actually trigger the new note one row up or down if you slide to it, but this is the best approximation that the Morph offers to that behavior, and it sounds quite good to me.
For anyone who doesn’t have a Linnstrument: playing with this map feels almost identical to mine other than the texture. The note squares are the same size, the pad pressure is similar. I find it a seamless switch between them.
Hopefully this is useful to someone else. I highly reccommend the original overlay that the original poster made too. Enjoy!
