I explained its features, including the unique "amount knob" that avoids phasing issues, and demonstrated its impact on audio using Bitwig and Addictive Drums.

I just installed the Morph EQ by Minimal Audio and wanted to share my first impressions of it. It is an EQ that allows you to draw in the desired EQ curves, giving you a lot of sound design possibilities. You can assign an LFO to it or use automation to modulate the curves. It also has a randomize option which can create some great results. It's a great plugin for sound design and I would definitely recommend it.

Finally, I recommend downloading the free Rift Filter plugin to get a taste of what Rift has to offer.
