Logic Pro Sculpture string parameter sliders
The sliders on the outer ring of the Material Pad refine the properties and behavior of the
string. High Scaling sliders are blue. Low Scaling sliders are green.
String parameter sliders
Resolution slider: Set the maximum number of harmonics contained in (and spatial
resolution of) the sound at C3. Changes to the Resolution value alter the interaction of
the string with the objects, which has a corresponding effect on overtone frequencies—
very low Resolution values result in inharmonic spectra, even with Stiffness set to 0.
Higher resolution values enhance the precision of calculations, increasing computer
processing requirements. Resolution behavior can be changed with the Render Mode
pop-up menu in the extended parameters. In Keyscale view, the Resolution High and
Low Scaling sliders are shown:
Resolution High Scaling slider: Set the key tracking resolution—the accuracy of key
tracking—for notes above middleC (C3).
Resolution Low Scaling slider: Set the key tracking resolution for notes below
middleC.
Media Loss slider: Set the amount of string damping caused by the surrounding
media (the atmosphere)—for example, air, water, olive oil, and so on. These losses are
independent of frequency. This provides control over the duration of the exponential
amplitude decay, after the excitation of the string has stopped.
Media Loss High Scaling slider: In Keyscale view, set the key tracking resolution for
notes above middleC (C3). In Release view, set media loss behavior when the key is
released.
Media Loss Low Scaling slider: In Keyscale view, set the key tracking resolution for
notes below middleC (C3). In Release view, set media loss behavior when the key is
released.
Tension Mod slider: Set the momentary detuning of the string.
Tension Mod High Scaling slider: Set the tension modulation behavior for notes
above middleC.
Tension Mod Resolution Low Scaling slider: Set the tension modulation behavior for
notes below middleC.
