MorphEdit is a browser-based and desktop audio editor designed for preparing samples for hardware instruments. It includes dedicated support for Make Noise Morphagene reels while retaining general editing features suitable for other samplers and audio workflows.
Audio processing takes place locally, so loaded files are not uploaded to a remote server. MorphEdit can run in a web browser, operate offline as a progressive web app, or be installed as an Electron desktop program.
This is free and open source software.
