What is SpectMorph?
-------------------
SpectMorph is a free software project which allows to analyze samples of
musical instruments, and to combine them (morphing). It can be used to
construct hybrid sounds, for instance a sound between a trumpet and a
flute; or smooth transitions, for instance a sound that starts as a
trumpet and then gradually changes to a flute.

SpectMorph ships with many ready-to-use instruments which can be
combined using morphing.

SpectMorph is implemented in C++ and licensed under the GNU LGPL version 3

Integrating SpectMorph into your Work
-------------------------------------
SpectMorph is currently available for Linux and Windows users. Here is a
quick overview of how you can make music using SpectMorph.

- VST Plugin, especially for proprietary solutions that don't support LV2.
  (Available on Linux and 64-bit Windows)
- LV2 Plugin, for any sequencer that supports it.
- JACK Client.

Note that at this point, we may still change the way sound synthesis
works, so newer versions of SpectMorph may sound (slightly) different
than the current version.

There are many audio demos on the website, which demonstrate morphing
between instruments.
