String and object interplay in Logic Pro Sculpture
Each parameter has an impact on the overall tone of the string and—more often than not—
an impact on the string interaction of other parameters.
As you introduce or make changes to parameters, the modeled string is affected. This,
in turn, affects the interaction of each parameter with the modeled string. Therefore,
parameter settings that you already made for Object1, for example, may need to be
adjusted when Object2 is turned on.
Generally, such adjustments won’t need to be radical, and may involve only a small tweak
to the Strength parameters, or perhaps to the pickup positions of each object, for example.
These parameters have the greatest impact on the tone and level of the objects and should
be the first things you look at if enabling Object2 results in an unwanted change to the
color of your sound.
You may want to fine-tune the objects further through use of the Timbre and Variation
controls.
Small changes—rather than radical ones—will retain the general tonal character of the
string and Object1, while introducing the new flavor of Object2.
Explore Logic Pro Sculpture pickups
The vibration of the string is captured by two movable pickups. The pickup section also
houses three object sliders—used to set the position of each object along the string.
Change the object positions along the string in Sculpture
1. In Logic Pro, reload the #default (or your vanilla) setting file.
2. Drag the Object1 pickup left or right while striking a key. Note that adjustment of the
object pickup position alters the tonal characteristics of the string.
3. Adjust the Object1 Strength control to hear things better, or to adjust the tone. You can
also use Object1 Timbre and Variation parameters to alter the tone.
4. Feel free to adjust the positions and parameters of the other objects, if they are active.
Change the pickup positions along the string in Sculpture
In Logic Pro, drag the PickupA and PickupB sliders. Note that changes to the pickup
positions result in quite different string vibrations and tonal qualities. If you want to
increase the overall volume, adjust the Level knob on the right, directly opposite the
Pickup section.
