Chapter 13 Sculpture 326
The pad now has a pleasant and unobtrusive ambience; you can leave the other Delay
parameters at their original values.
Make the sound more lively using the jitter modulators
You can make the sound more animated with some subtle modulation, which makes the jitter
modulators the perfect tool for the job. The jitter modulators are basically LFOs that use a
random waveform.
1 Click the Jitter button below the LFO section to activate the display for both of the
jitter modulators.
2 Click the 1 button to turn on the rst link in Jitter 1, and choose Object1 Timbre from the Target
pop-up menu.
3 Drag the slider below the Target pop-up menu to −0.40 to adjust the Intensity, and reduce the
Rate parameter to 1 Hz. There should be subtle inconsistencies in the pressure applied by the
bow to the string. To better recognize this eect, temporarily increase the Intensity level.
You can use the second jitter modulator for random position deviations with the modulation
target Pickup Pos A+B (pickup position A and B).
4 Activate Jitter 2 and choose the Pickup Pos A+B setting from the Target pop-up menu.
5 Drag the slider below the Target pop-up menu to an Intensity of about 0.2, and adjust the Rate
knob to 1.5 Hz. As you increase the Intensity, the sound develops a distinct clinking or rattling—
adjust this eect to taste.
You now have a satisfactory pad sound, which you should leave alone at this point, even though
a few Sculpture features such as the Filter and the Waveshaper lie idle—not to mention the two
additional Objects—but sometimes it’s a good idea to quit while you’re ahead.
