• Depth knob: Scale 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 is also scaled.
• Modulation knob: Set the scaling amount for Morph Envelope movements.
• Modulation source pop-up menu: Choose a modulation source that is used to scale
Morph Envelope movements.
• Transition knob: Control 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.
MainStage Sculpture Morph Envelope mode
The Mode buttons activate the Morph Envelope and provide a choice of several modes.
• Both buttons off: Morph function is disabled.
• Pad only: Envelope is deactivated, and morphing is controlled by the morph ball or X/Y
MIDI controllers only.
• Env only: Envelope is running, but the morph ball and X/Y MIDI controllers are
deactivated.
• Env + Pad: Envelope is running, and the position of the morph ball or X/Y MIDI
controllers is used as an offset for any envelope movements.
• Offset button: When in Env + Pad mode, choose from several menu items:
• Offset: The default mode. Behavior is the same as Env+Pad mode:Envelope is
running, and the position of the morph ball or X/Y MIDI controllers is used as an
offset for any envelope movements.
• Point Set: Envelope is running. The selected envelope point can be edited by
moving the morph ball or with a MIDI controller (MorphX and MorphY Controller
Assignments).
• Point Solo: Envelope is in a kind of snapshot mode. The selected envelope point can
be edited by moving the morph ball.
