Logic Pro Sculpture excite objects1 and 2
Before you look at the tables of object types and properties, you should note the following:
• Object1 can only use the excite types found in the first table.
• Object2 can use the excite and disturb/damp types available in both tables.
• Object3 can only use the disturb/damp types found in the second table. See Sculpture
disturb and damp objects2 and 3.
The table outlines all excite types available for Objects1 and 2, and provides information
on the controls available for each object type.
Name Description Strength controls Timbre controls Variation controls
Impulse A short impulse
excitation
Impulse amplitude Width Velocity dependence
of width
Strike Short excitation, like
a piano hammer or
mallet
Hammer start speed
(velocity dependent)
Hammer mass Felt stiffness
GravStrike Like hammer but
with gravitation
toward the string,
leading to multiple
hammer-string
interactions and
disturbed string
vibrations
Hammer start speed Felt stiffness Gravitation
Pick Finger or plectrum
picking
Pickup force and
speed
Force/speed ratio Plectrum stiffness
Bow Bowing of the string Bow speed Bow pressure Slip stick
characteristics
Bow wide Same as bow, but
wider, resulting in a
more mellow tone,
especially suited for
smooth bow position
changes
Bow speed Bow pressure Slip stick
characteristics
Noise Noise injected into
the string
Noise level Noise bandwidth/
cutoff frequency
Noise resonance
Blow Blow into one end
of the string (an air
column, or tube). At
various positions,
starting from 0.0
(far left), move the
blowing direction
and position from
along the string
toward one end.
The string is blown
sideways at the
chosen position.
Lip clearance Blow pressure Noisiness
External (available
only for Object2)
Feeds side chain
signal into string.
Level Cutoff frequency of
lowpass filter being
used to process side
chain signal
Width (size) of the
string area being
affected by the side
chained signal
