Material Pad Keyscale and Release parameters
• Diamond controls: Adjust the Stiffness and Inner Loss Keyscale and Release
parameters.
• In Keyscale view, the diamonds indicate the intersection between the Inner Loss and
Stiffness Low/High Scaling positions. You can drag these diamonds to adjust both
parameters simultaneously.
• In Release view, you only drag the diamond vertically, because you cannot adjust the
release behavior of the Stiffness parameter.
• Crosshair and line controls: Use to control the Keyscale and Release parameters when
the diamonds are hidden by the ball. The crosshair also enables you to independently
change the keyscaling for one of the two axes (X/Y positions, which control the current
Inner Loss and Stiffness values).
Note: Option-click any of the controls to reset parameters to their default values.
Adjust Inner Loss key scaling in the Material Pad
The Inner Loss Keyscale parameters control the amount of damping—independently for
notes above and below middle C. This changes the way damping is scaled as you play
lower or higher on the keyboard.
1. In Logic Pro, click the Keyscale button.
2. Drag the green horizontal line for low notes or the blue horizontal line for high notes.
Adjust Stiffness key scaling in the Material Pad
The Stiffness Keyscale parameters adjust the string stiffness—independently for notes
above and below middleC. This changes the scaling of inharmonic content that is heard as
you play lower or higher on the keyboard.
1. In Logic Pro, click the Keyscale button.
2. Horizontally drag the green vertical line for low notes or the blue vertical line for high
notes.
Tip: You can simultaneously adjust both Stiffness and Inner Loss key scaling by
dragging the diamond that intersects the green lines.
Adjust Inner Loss release scaling in the Material Pad
In Release view, you define changes to the damping amount when the key is released.
Conservative use of this parameter—in conjunction with Media Loss Scale Release—allows
a natural simulation of strings that are dampened when a note-off message is received.
See Sculpture string parameter sliders.
1. In Logic Pro, click the Release button.
2. Vertically drag the blue Release line.
