• Delay Time slider and field: Set the delay time. This can be in either musical note
values—1/4, 1/4t (1/4 triplet), and so on (see “Sync button” below)—or in milliseconds.
• Sync button: Set either tempo-synced or free-running delay modes.
• Output Width slider: Change the stereo or surround base of the wet signal. A value of
0.0 results in mono output. A value of 1.0 results in full stereo or surround output—the
left delay line output channels are panned hard left, and the right delay line output
channels are panned hard right, but the stereo center is unaffected.
Note: This parameter is aimed primarily at achieving pure delay grooves in multiple
channels, without hard left/right ping-pong panning.
Logic Pro Sculpture Groove Pad (stereo)
When used in a stereo instance of Sculpture, the Spread and Groove parameters are
displayed in the two-dimensional Groove Pad.
Drag the diamond in the center of the crosshair to adjust the values. You can also
independently adjust the Spread and Groove parameter values by dragging the lines that
intersect the diamond.
You can also Control-click the Groove Pad to open a shortcut menu that contains Copy,
Paste, and Clear commands. These can be used to copy and paste delay settings between
multiple Sculpture instances or between consecutively loaded settings. The Clear
command resets the current delay settings.
Groove Pad parameters
• Spread: Adjust for wide stereo delay effects. Values on the y-axis (above the default,
centered position) increase the delay time of the right delay line or decrease the delay
time of the left delay line—in effect, smearing the delay times of the left and right
channels. Negative values invert this effect.
• Groove: Distribute delay taps to the left/right channels rather than smearing them
across channels, like the Spread parameter. Values on the x-axis reduce the delay time
of one delay line by a given percentage, while keeping the other delay line constant.
Keep an eye on the small help tag while adjusting.
For example, a value of +50% reduces the right delay time by half. If a value of 1/4 was
used as the Delay Time, the right delay would equal 1/8 of a note and the left delay
would remain at 1/4 of a note. Needless to say, this parameter is perfect for the creation
of interesting rhythmic delays—in stereo.
