Technically no, not in the sense that you specify a beginning 
waveform and an ending waveform, and the module fills in intermediate 
waveforms on the fly.

You CAN sweep via CV through 16 waves in a single bank. Several of 
the banks in the stock ROM are set up to do a morph from wave 0 to 
wave 15. They don't calculate the intermediate waves on the fly - the 
intermediate steps are already burned into the ROM, but the audio 
effect is still the same. If you set the input switch to bipolar mode 
( +/-5V ), the module allows switching from one wave to the next only 
on zero crossings, so you don't get audio glitches as it changes 
waves.

So practically, yes you CAN morph, you just are limited to whatever 
is burned into the ROM, and 16 waves per morph max. If the timbre 
shift is drastic from one end to the other, you will hear some 
timbral stepping, since 16 waves isn't always enough. This is why the 
idea of a ZIF socket and ROM burner is attractive - designing your 
own custom morph banks.
