Both parameters are simultaneously controlled by dragging the ball—which marks a
specific point on the X and Y planes—within the Material Pad.
Note: The thickness of the string—the green horizontal line in the Pickup display—changes
as you move the ball (see Using Sculpture’s String Parameter Sliders (Morphable)).
Using Sculptures Material Pad in Keyscale or Release View
In Keyscale or Release view, the Material Pad shows additional controls for the Keyscale
and Release parameters.
Diamond control
Crosshair control Line control
Diamond control
Keyscale view Release view
Diamond controls: Drag horizontally to adjust the Stiffness Keyscale parameters, and
vertically to adjust the Innerloss Keyscale and Release parameters.
In Keyscale view, the diamonds indicate the intersection between the Inner Loss and
Stiffness Low/High Scaling positions. You can drag these diamonds directly, to adjust
both parameters simultaneously.
In Release view, you only drag the diamond vertically, because you cannot adjust
the release behavior of the Stiffness parameter.
Crosshair and line controls: Use to control the Keyscale and Release parameters when
the diamonds are hidden by the ball. The crosshair also allows you to independently
change the keyscaling for one of the two axes (X/Y positions—which control the current
Inner Loss and Stiffness values).
Note: Option-clicking any of the controls resets the associated parameters to their default
values.
Setting Sculpture’s Inner Loss Keyscale Values
The Inner Loss Keyscale parameters allow you to control the amount of damping
independently for notes above and below C, altering the amount of damping that occurs
as you play lower or higher on the keyboard.
