'Morgana should be your first choice'
'112dB has spent considerable effort on emulating the look, sound, and most of all the ease of use of vintage hardware.'
'Morgana's sound is dirty and raw, but not at all like the coarse and unsubtle results of bitcrushers.'
'The plugin shines when it comes to effortlessly generating grainy and dirty sounds but with authentic vintage flair. If this is what you're after Morgana should be your first choice.'
Sonic Seducer Magazine (April 09)
'Sampling Has Never Been Easier'
'Sampling has never been easier. The entire process is very streamlined and direct. Once the samples have been recorded, the real fun with Morgana's lofi components has only just begun.'
'Even though we were initially skeptical about yet another vintage plugin: Morgana is a lot of fun'.
'If you think the Morgana sound can also be achieved through regular effects, you're wrong. The detailed design of the "bad" signal paths and the integration into a real instrument with dedicated filters and envelopes per voice allows for very different sounds than a simple bitcrusher.'
'The plugin interface is close to perfect and allows for detailed sound control.'
KEYS Magazine (March 2009)
'Imbues samples with a sonic character that will be unlike anything else in your mix'
'The simplicity of Morgana's front panel is hugely appreciated. Unlike many of the hardware samplers we grew up with (or soft synths we've subsequently embraced) this one really does feel like a nice, ergonomic analogue synth.'
'Absolutely the best thing about Morgana, though, is the actual sound. 112dB have gone to great lengths to replicate not just the low-quality chips used in yesteryear's gear, but even the idiosyncrasies of the internal wiring.'
'This instrument imbues samples with a sonic character that will be unlike anything else in your mix, helping them to stand out. Perhaps you could achieve something similar using a bit-crushing plug-in, but nothing else quite emulates the lo-fi effect that old circuitry had in precisely the same way.'
'It's certainly a very valuable and desirable recreation of the best bits of old-school samplers'
Computer Music (issue 128, August 08)
'A refreshing, great sounding and insanely useful look back to a purer sampling time!'
'Morgana resolutely models itself on the type of early samplers that cost as much as a Ferrari. But boy, did it sound great! Morgana does a very credible impression of that sound.'
'It's fair to say that Morgana has a unique sound that will cut through your mix with ease. It makes sampling fun and will encourage you to get hands-on again after years of being a passive samplist. Any of these three reasons alone make it a very desirable package indeed.'
DJMag (issue 63, July 08)
'Classic 8-bit sound with all the highs and lows'
'Morgana not only faithfully reproduces all sonic advantages of first generation [samplers], it also manages to revive the long forgotten joys of sampling your own sources.'
'From an artistic point of view extremely interesting sound spectrums can be obtained.'
'Terribly beautiful 8-bit sound.'
