Open source software

TDMorph is an open-source toolkit for TouchDesigner. It is a powerful toolbox for enhanced parametric exploration, preset storage, composition, and cueing within the TouchDesigner platform.

What can it do?

With TDMorph, you can perform a wide range of operations for creative exploration, performance, and system design in TouchDesigner, including:

• Random search for parameter states across one or multiple nodes.
• Morphing between states using various interpolation curves.
• Store and retrieve an unlimited number of presets.
• Control parameters and transitions through automatically generated UIs.
• Automatically store, randomize, and transform parameters of any node.
• Auto-learn MIDI and OSC mappings for every UI control.
• Script full UI behavior via high-level Python commands.
• Set global and local timing for each parameter independently.
• Automatically generate animations from stored presets.
• Build flexible cueing systems with follow actions and quantization.
• Generate parameter patterns programmatically using the Patterns library.
• Create algorithmic cueing systems through scripting.

And much more!

Design

TDMorph is built around three main components: a lightweight, UI-less node for storing and recalling parameter states; a drag-and-drop front end for building automatic interfaces and exploring parameters aleatically; and a scene cueing controller with follow actions, randomization, and sequencing tools.

Since version 2, TDMorph also ships with a Patterns library — a Python-based reverse engineering of SuperCollider's Patterns system — bringing a generative score language for values sequencing directly into TouchDesigner.

Whether you're building generative visuals, performing live, or designing complex interactive systems, TDMorph streamlines the entire parametric workflow — from exploration to stage.
