Use Sculpture’s Material Pad in Keyscale or Release view
In Keyscale or Release view, the Material Pad shows additional controls for the Keyscale and
Release parameters.

Material Pad Keyscale and Release parameters
•
Diamond controls: Drag to adjust the Stiness and Inner Loss Keyscale and Release parameters.
•
In Keyscale view, the diamonds indicate the intersection between the Inner Loss and
Stiness Low/High Scaling positions. You can drag these diamonds to adjust both
parameters simultaneously.
•
In Release view, you only drag the diamond vertically, because you cannot adjust the release
behavior of the Stiness parameter.
•
Crosshair and line controls: Use to control the Keyscale and Release parameters when the
diamonds are hidden by the ball. The crosshair also enables you to independently change the
keyscaling for one of the two axes (X/Y positions, which control the current Inner Loss and
Stiness values).
Note: Option-click any of the controls to reset parameters to their default values.
Adjust Inner Loss key scaling in the Material Pad
The Inner Loss Keyscale parameters control the amount of damping—independently for notes
above and below middle C. This changes the way damping is scaled as you play lower or higher
on the keyboard.
1 Click the Keyscale button.
2 Drag the green horizontal line for low notes or the blue horizontal line for high notes.
Adjust Stiness key scaling in the Material Pad
The Stiness Keyscale parameters adjust the string stiness—independently for notes above and
below middle C. This changes the scaling of inharmonic content that is heard as you play lower
or higher on the keyboard.
1 Click the Keyscale button.
2 Horizontally drag the green vertical line for low notes or the blue vertical line for high notes.
Tip: You can simultaneously adjust both Stiness and Inner Loss key scaling by dragging the
diamond that intersects the green lines.
