Pickup parameters
• Object position sliders: Drag sliders 1, 2, and 3 to determine the respective position of
each (excite/disturb/damp) object along the string. This parameter can be morphed.
• PickupA position slider: Set the position of PickupA along the string. Values of 0.0 and
1.0 determine the left and right ends of the string, respectively. This parameter can be
morphed.
• PickupB position slider: Set the position of PickupB along the string. This parameter
can be morphed.
• Invert button: Invert the phase of PickupB. Options are:normal or inverted.
Note: If the phase of PickupB is inverted, the sound can become thinner due to
portions of the PickupA and PickupB signals canceling each other out. Depending on
the position of the pickups, however, the reverse may happen, with the sound actually
becoming richer.
Adjust the PickupA or PickupB position
• In Logic Pro, drag the slider handle at the top or bottom of the Pickup display.
Adjust an object pickup position
• In Logic Pro, drag the corresponding numerical slider handle (the 1, 2, or 3 arrows) for
each object.
Adjustments to object positions will disturb/excite a given portion of the string. The
vertical orange lines represent the positions of Objects1, 2, and 3. The thickness and
brightness of these lines indicate the strength of the objects. Object1 can be an exciter.
Object3 can be a damper. Object2 has two arrows, indicating that it can be used as
either an exciter or damper.
Turn string animation on or off
• In Logic Pro, Control-click the green horizontal line—the string—to enable or disable
string animation.
When animation is active, the string vibrates, making it easier to visualize the impact of
the objects and pickups. Note that string animation increases CPU overhead, so disable
it if your computer is struggling to process all data in real time.
