21.8 Corpus
The Corpus Effect.
Corpus is an effect that simulates the acoustic characteristics of seven types of resonant
objects. Developed in collaboration with Applied Acoustics Systems, Corpus uses physical
modelling technology to provide a wide range of parameters and modulation options.
The full version of Corpus is not included with the standard version of Live, but is bundled
with the Collision instrument as a special feature available for purchase separately.
The frequency and/or decay rate of the resonance can be MIDI modulated, by enabling the
Frequency and/or Off Decay switches in the Sidechain section. Toggle the button in
Corpus's title bar to access Sidechain parameters. The MIDI From choosers allow you to
select the MIDI track and tapping point from which to receive MIDI note information.
With Frequency enabled, the tuning of the resonance is determined by the incoming MIDI
note. If multiple notes are held simultaneously, the Last/Low switch determines whether the
last or the lowest note will have priority. The Transpose and Fine knobs allow for coarse and
ne offset of the MIDI-modulated tuning. PB Range sets the range in semitones of pitch
bend modulation.
With Frequency disabled, the Tune control adjusts the base frequency of the resonance in
Hertz. The corresponding MIDI note number and ne tuning offset in cents is displayed
below.
