Sculpture disturb and damp table (objects 2 and 3)
The following table lists all disturb and damp types available for Objects 2 and 3. For information
on excite types available for Objects 1 and 2, see Sculpture excite table (objects 1 and 2) on
page 248.
Name Description Strength controls Timbre controls Variation controls
Disturb A disturb object
that is placed at a
xed distance from
the string’s resting
position
The hardness of the
object
The distance from
the resting position
•
Negative
values:
Push
the string away
from the resting
position.
•
Positive
values:
Do not
aect the string
in the resting
position.
Controls width.
•
Negative
values:
Aect
only a small
section of the
string.
•
Positive
values:
Aect a
broader section
of the string.
Disturb 2-sided Somewhat like a
ring placed around
the string, which
limits the string’s
vibration in all
directions
The hardness of
the ring
The clearance
of the ring (the
distance between
the ring and string)
•
Negative
values:
The sides
of the damping
ring overlap,
inuencing
the string if
any movement
occurs.
•
Positive
values:
There
is an amount
of clearance
inside the ring.
The string will
be inuenced
only if moved
suciently to
actually touch
the ring.
No eect
Bouncing Emulates a loose
object lying or
bouncing on, and
interacting with,
the vibrating string.
This is very random
by nature and can’t
be synchronized.
Controls the gravity
constant for the
object lying/
bouncing on the
string.
The stiness of the
object
The damping of the
object
