Do you use Pianoteq 7 Morphing feature ?
I saw a video on yt with interesting morphing sounds by
using the random button.
Whenever I use random button I get strange unusable results, though.
What´s your experience?
I've played with the random button. Sometimes I like the results, sometimes not. Not surprising; I guess someone who wanted to experiment with adjusting might use it to learn what settings produce what results.
And that said, I did a morph which I absolutely love: 75% cimbalom 392, 25% Steinway D Classical. I've posted a recording at https://forum.modartt.com/viewtopic.php...36#p977536 and just posted the .fxp file on the FXP forum at https://forum.modartt.com/file/6xd06mld

I think there are two use cases:
1. electronic or otherwise highly edited music, as giving more flexibility to create "new" sounds of the kind of the clavinet and vintage-electric instruments. FWIW this has zero appeal to me (actually less than zero since I find it confusing and time consuming to even ignore it from the interface -- but that's me).
2. try to find solutions to problems such as the one I described at: https://forum.modartt.com/viewtopic.php?id=8969 -- e.g. some parts of the keyboard have characteristics which do not match the rest (in that case: the bass lacks brilliance, the midrange and high is already too bright). By creating a warmer (or even darker) sound for the midrange and morph it or layer it with a more bright piano for the bass, one could make their own "perfect" instrument. I have not been able to do this yet, but I am trying and it shows potential. FWIW, in that thread velocity curve and dynamic settings were identified as "culprit" and to a degree they are, but I have been unable to fix the problem with them alone, so I am experimenting with layering and morphing. Alternatively one could use the pro version to do these things (with the note-by-note edit capabilities), but in my opinion that's overkill from both a money point of view and from a tediousness point of view, since it's going note-by-note is much more complicated than create two or three separate instrument and somewhat "merge" them. Try the note-by-note editing for the few parameters that are available in the Standard version (demo if you don't have it) and see what you think yourself: YMMV.
