Vowel Morph pad
The Vowel Morph pad in Jacob Collier Audience Choir lets you select and morph vowels, and create automatic transitions between vowels per note.
The Vowel Morph pad lets you select and morph vowels for notes you play in the Single Note range. You can play back and record movements of up to 20 seconds length in the Vowel Morph pad to create automatic transitions between vowels per note.

You can switch between entries by clicking the left and right arrow buttons, or open the drop-down menu by clicking on the name and select an entry from the list. The entry User Preset lets you create your own custom movements (see below).
