Sculpture modulation controls
Sculpture modulation overview
Sculpture is equipped with a huge number of modulation sources and targets, making it an
instrument that can generate extraordinary sounds that constantly evolve, sound like audio
loops, or are just plain expressive to play.
Some of the modulation sources provided are like those found on traditional synthesizer designs.
These include:
•
Two freely assignable LFOs, with (project) tempo-syncable rates.
•
A third LFO that is dedicated to vibrato—pitch modulation.
•
Two envelopes that can be used as standard envelopes, but which can also be used
quite dierently.
Sculpture also includes a number of specially designed modulation sources that are less
conventional. These include:
•
Two jitter generators with adjustable bandwidth—used to create random variations.
•
Two Randomizers that change values only at note start/on—perfect for emulating the lip,
breath, and tongue eects of brass instrument players, for example.
•
Two recordable envelopes that can be used as MIDI controlled modulators—with the
ability to polyphonically play back on a per-voice basis, and modify incoming MIDI
controller movements.
Sculpture does not provide a centralized modulation router. All modulation routings—choosing
a modulation target and/or via source—are made within each modulation source pane.
