Curve knob: Alters modulation waveforms. A pure waveform of the chosen type is active
at a value of 0.0. The +1 and −1 positions will deform the wave. For example, with a
sine wave chosen as the LFO waveform type:
Curve value of 0.0: A sine-shaped wave.
Curve values above 0.0: Wave is smoothly changed into a nearly rectangular wave.
Curve values below 0.0: The slope at the 0 crossing is reduced, resulting in shorter
soft pulses to +1 and −1.
Note: The waveform displayed between the Curve knob and the Waveform menu
shows the results of these two parameter settings.
Rate knob: Determines the rate of LFO modulation, which can be either synced to the
current project tempo or set independently in Hz (Hertz) values. See Setting the
Sculpture LFO Rate.
Sync/Free buttons: Interact with the Rate parameter, allowing you to choose either
synchronized or free-running LFO rates. The synchronized value is derived from the
project tempo and meter.
Envelope knob: Controls the time it takes for the LFO modulation to fade in or fade out.
See Using the Sculpture LFO Envelope Generator.
Phase knob: Allows you to choose between monophonic or polyphonic LFO modulations.
These can have similar phases, completely random phase relationships, key-synced
phases, or anything in-between.
Tip: If you move the Phase knob slightly away from the mono position, you’ll get
nonlocked modulations for all voices running at similar, but not identical, phases. This
is ideal for string-section vibratos!
RateMod Source menu: Choose a modulation source for the LFO Rate parameter.
RateMod Amount slider: Sets the intensity—the amount—of LFO rate modulation.
