Controlling Other Body EQ Models in Sculpture
All other Body EQ models provide the following parameters:
Shift Fine Structure sliderIntensity Stretch
Formant–Intensity knob: Scales the intensity of the model’s formants. In other words,
any formants (harmonics) in the model will become louder, or will be inverted,
depending on how this parameter is used. A value of 0.0 results in a flat response. A
value of 1.0 results in strong formants. Negative values invert the formants.
Formant–Shift knob: Shifts the formants logarithmically. A value of −0.3, for example,
shifts all formants one octave downward, and a value of +0.3 shifts the formants up
one octave. A value of +1.0 shifts up by a factor of 10—from 500 Hz to 5000 Hz, for
example.
Formant–Stretch knob: Stretches the formant frequencies, relative to each other. In
other words, this parameter alters the width of all bands being processed by the
Body EQ, extending or narrowing the frequency range.
Low Formant Stretch values move the formants closer together (centered around
1 kHz), whereas high values move the formants farther apart from each other. The
control range is expressed as a ratio of the overall bandwidth.
Note: When combined, Formant Stretch and Formant Shift alter the formant structure
of the sound and can result in some interesting timbral changes.
