Sculpture also includes a number of specifically designed modulation sources that are
anything but traditional. These include:
Two jitter generators with adjustable bandwidth—used to create random variations.
Two Randomizers that change values only at note start/on. These are perfect for
emulating the lip, breath, and tongue effects 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.
Working with Sculpture’s Modulation Routings
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.
To access each modulation source pane
µ
Click the appropriate modulation source button.
When a modulation source is activated, the corresponding button label is lit.
Any available modulation source can be connected to any modulation target—much like
an old-fashioned telephone exchange or a studio patchbay. Each modulation source
allows you to select one (or in most cases, two) of the core synthesis parameters as a
modulation target.
The modulation intensity—how strongly the target is influenced by the source—is set
with an Intensity (or Amount) control in each modulation source pane.
The intensity of the modulation can, itself, be modulated: The via parameter—found in
the LFO and control envelope source panes—defines a further modulation source, which
is used to control the modulation intensity. These include: LFO Rate Modulation, VariMod,
Morph Envelope Modulation, and A Time Velosens. When via is active, you can specify
upper and lower limits for the modulation intensity.
Multiple modulation routings of source, via, and target can take place simultaneously.
You can even select the same target in several parallel modulation routings. You can also
use the same sources and the same via controllers in multiple modulation routings.
Getting to Know Sculptures LFOs
Sculpture offers two multiwaveform LFOs. Both can be used either polyphonically,
monophonically, or somewhere in-between.
