Gotharman’s Little Deformer 3 my dude.
Patch morphing, pattern morphing, and so on…

Microtonic is great for this in the software world. Especially with randomization options and the new “beat web” or whatever that feature is called.
You could run a drum machine into a thru track with neighbour tracks and cross fade the shite out of it. Samples remain fucked per your wishes.

Sounds like a distraction unless you have two heads and four hands.

This maybe? Don’t know about percussive stuff though…
“…The SNAPSHOT INTERPOLATOR is a very unique feature in the synthesizer world. First you have the ability to store snapshots of your sound creations into the internal memory. Then you can play these snapshots sequentially for very cool sonic sequences. But that is not all. You can even create smooth transitions from one snapshot to the other for stunning sound morphing effects. Independent from the Interpolator, the snapshot memories can also be used as preset memories and are filled with sounds from our sound designers…”

Nord G2 keys. Eight variations per preset, then there’s eight morph groups which each can control some 16 parameters (range-defined positive or negative), and on the keys, custom morph groups names are displayed. And the morph groups can be completely different for every variation. It’s got drum and perc modules, but building your is much fun. It’s the sandpit for all Nord synhs, including the Nord Drum, and then some. It’s also a super powerful midi controller.

I saw a live set on a nord modular g2 once, all self-playing generative patches. the sounds it produced blew my mind. it was something else. 10/10

umm
Most of the Nord Lead/Rack units have some kind of morphing capability, but you already know how good the 2x (the one with percussion kits) sounds:
(Assuming you can’t do what you want with your Analog Four.)

Hydrasynth?
You can connect 7 macros to 8 parameters each and control the 7 macros with the final macro. Or any combination of those.

As usual @PeterHanes, you are correct.
I think my choices are basically get a Nord or stop distracting myself (cheers @Octagonist for pointing that out) and get on with patching something in Max.

No, you’re the one who’s correct! I’m just reminding you of what you said.

Correct again.

The Sequential Pro 3 has an implementation of patch morphing and a while back I was considering grabbing one specifically for that reason. I don’t know if this is the style of synth you’re thinking, but it might be worth a quick look at least.

If so, don’t fuck about with limits of a Lead 2 and get the G2 keys (sequencers it must certainly has). Thank me later.

Reaktor can morph between presets.
Korg wavestate could be of interest.

Took me 20 years to finally find my Nord G2. Does all that and more. Kinda like a modular keyboard version of the OT. Love it. Expensive tho

As much as the G2 is obviously awesome, I’ve already got Max and I feel like it has that whole deep modular environment thing covered.
Max is completely different…but yeah. I’d say the closest to what you want besides the G2 is Bitwig and a controller.
Edit; not “want”, but looking for. From my experiance the only enviornments that do morphing are the OT, Bitwig and the Nord G2 KB. The G2 is and insane control interface, with morphing, patch mutating and sequencable presets variations.
