Mass Used to model an
additional mass
attached to the
string. This can
lead to inharmonic
sounds, and very
interesting results, if
the position of this
mass is modulated
along the string.

Sculpture pickups parameters
Use Logic Pro Sculpture pickup parameters
The pickup parameters discussed in this section apply on a per-voice basis. A number of
parameters can be morphed between up to five morph points. These are indicated in the
parameter descriptions. See Sculpture morph overview.
The pickups are the first element beyond the sound-generating portion of Sculpture—
consisting of the string and objects—and act as the input to the virtual signal processing
chain. You can view the pickups as being like those of an electric guitar or clavinet.
Obviously, changing their positions alters the tone of your instrument, just like the pickups
in Sculpture.
The green horizontal line within the Pickup display represents the string. As the Stiffness
parameter value of the string is increased, the line becomes thicker. The line can be
animated and can show the range of string motion.
The PickupA and B ranges are shown as transparent bell curves, which represent the
position and widths of pickups A and B.
