2. You probably noticed that moving the Media Loss, Tension Mod, and Resolution sliders
also had an effect on the green and blue Keyscale sliders inside and outside the ring.
Drag each of these Keyscale slider arrowheads to different positions—one by one—
while you play a few notes either side of middleC. Notice the changes that happen up
or down the keyboard range.
3. When you’re done, click the Release button at the bottom of the Material Pad ring, and
adjust the blue Media Loss Release slider while you strike notes.

Up to three objects of different types are used to excite or disturb the vibration of the
string.
Tip: Before starting, Control-click the string (the green horizontal line in the Pickup
display), then then choose “enable string animation” from the shortcut menu. When active,
the string vibrates when you play a note, making it easier to visualize the impact of the
objects and pickups.

1. In Logic Pro, reload the #default (or your vanilla) setting file by choosing Reset Setting
from the Settings pop-up menu.
2. Click the Object1 button to deselect it while you are repeatedly striking a key. The
sound stops after Object1 is deselected. The string itself doesn’t make a sound unless
it is stimulated by at least one object. Click the button again to reactivate it.
3. Choose each menu item from the Object1 Type pop-up menu. Strike a note repeatedly
while you choose each item to hear the impact of each object type on the string. Keep
an eye on the string animation. Note that Object1 can make use of excite types only.
Object2 can make use of either excite or damping types. Object3 can make use of
damping types only.
4. Adjust the Strength knob by dragging vertically for large changes or horizontally for fine
adjustments. Strike a note repeatedly while doing so.
5. Drag the Timbre and VeloSens arrowheads to different positions while striking a key to
audition the changes that they bring.
6. The impact of the Variation parameter is different for each type of object. Feel free to
experiment with this as well.
7. Try out each of the Gate settings.
