To adjust Inner Loss key scaling
1 Enable the Keyscale button.
2 Drag the green horizontal line for low notes—or the blue horizontal line for high notes—to
the desired position.
You can set inner losses to increase when the key is released by choosing a value of 1.0
or higher. This results in an unnatural effect, however, as it emulates a change in the
string material after a note is released.
The diamonds indicate the intersection between the Inner Loss and Stiffness Low/High
Scaling positions. You can drag these diamonds to adjust both parameters simultaneously.
Setting Sculpture’s Stiffness Keyscale Parameters
The Stiffness Keyscale parameters enable you to independently adjust the string stiffness
of notes above and below middle C, allowing you to alter the amount of inharmonic
content that occurs as you play lower or higher on the keyboard.
To adjust Stiffness key scaling
1 Enable the Keyscale button.
2 Drag the green vertical line for low notes—or the blue vertical line for high notes—to
the desired position on the horizontal plane.
Tip: You can simultaneously adjust both Stiffness and Inner Loss key scaling by dragging
the diamond that intersects the green lines.
Setting the Release Behavior of Sculpture’s Inner Loss Parameter
In Release view, you set how the amount of damping applied to the string changes when
you release the key.
To adjust Inner Loss release scaling
1 Enable the Release button.
2 Vertically drag the blue Release line to the desired position.
Note: More conservative use of this parameter—in conjunction with Media Loss Scale
Release (see Using Sculpture’s String Parameter Sliders (Morphable))—allows a natural
simulation of strings that are dampened when a note-off message is received.
