Using Sculptures Envelope Display
The envelope curve is shown in the display to the lower right of the Sculpture interface.
The envelope display is active only if the envelope functionality is engaged (Mode buttons
are set to either Env or Ctrl+Env).
The overall time/length of the envelope is indicated by the numerical entry at the top
right of the window (2400 ms in the graphic).
The maximum time/length of the envelope is 48 bars/40 seconds.
The lines on the background grid are placed 100 milliseconds apart.
The background lines are placed 1000 ms apart when very long envelope times are
displayed. In sync mode, this is displayed as 1 quarter.
The envelope is zoomed automatically after you release the mouse button. This displays
the entire envelope at the highest possible resolution. You can disable/enable this
feature by clicking the Autozoom button—the small magnifying glass.
Autozoom is automatically disabled when you perform a manual zoom—by clicking
the envelope display background, and dragging horizontally. As a reference, the current
display width is displayed by the numerical entry at the top right of the display. You
can re-engage automatic zooming by clicking the Autozoom button.
If you click the handles (nodes) or lines between the nodes in the envelope display,
the current envelope segment will be highlighted. A small help tag also indicates the
millisecond value of the current segment.
Sculpture Envelope Parameters
The following parameters are active only if the envelope functionality is engaged (Mode
buttons set to either Env or Ctrl+Env).
A-Time Velosens slider: Sets the velocity sensitivity for the attack phase of the envelope.
Positive values reduce the attack time at lower velocities. Negative values reduce the
attack time at higher velocities.
