Note: Sculptures Morph Pad displays a moving dot that indicates the current morph
position, during a morph on a monophonically played sound. The red line in the Timeline
below the Morph Pad shows the current time position.
Using the Sculpture Morph Envelope Parameters
The following section outlines the morph envelopes parameters.
Record button and
Trigger menu
Mode buttons and
Pad Mode menu
Time Scale field
Sustain Mode menu
Sync/ms buttons
Depth knob Transition knob
Modulation knob and
Source menu
Mode buttons and Pad Mode menu: Activate the morph envelope, and allow you to
choose a mode. See Choosing Sculptures Morph Envelope Mode.
Time Scale field: Scales the duration of the entire envelope between 10% and 1000%.
Sustain Mode menu: Defines the behavior of the morph envelope while a note is held.
The menu items are Sustain mode, Finish mode, one of three loop modes (Loop Forward,
Loop Backward, Loop Alternate), or Scan via CtrlB mode. See Choosing Morph Envelope
Sustain or Loop Mode in Sculpture.
Record button and Trigger Mode menu: Used to arm the envelope for recording, and to
set the event type that triggers recording. See Recording Morph Envelopes in Sculpture.
Sync and ms buttons: Set either a free-running envelope (with segment times displayed
in milliseconds) or a tempo-synced envelope with note value options, such as 1/8 or
1/4.
Note: Switching between values forces a recalculation of times to the nearest note
value or ms time, respectively, based on the current project tempo.
Depth knob: Scales the amount of morph movement caused by the morph envelope.
The effect of the Depth parameter is visually displayed in the Morph Pad. As you increase
or decrease the value, the morph trajectory will also be scaled.
Modulation knob and Source menu: Allow you to select a modulation source and amount,
which are used to scale the movement of the morph envelope.
Transition knob: Provides control over the transitions between morph points. This can
be the original (possibly recorded) movement to linear, or stepped, transitions. The
latter remains at one morph state and then abruptly switches to another morph state
at the following envelope point. This parameter (and the morph envelope itself) can
lead to interesting, evolving sounds, or even rhythmic patches.
