• Timescale field: Scales the duration of the entire envelope between 10% (ten times
faster) and 1000% (ten times slower). This also affects the appearance of the envelope
curve displayed as it is shortened (sped up) or lengthened (slowed down).
• Sustain Mode menu: Defines the behavior of the envelope while a note is held. Choices
are Sustain mode (default), Finish mode, or one of three loop modes (Loop Forward,
Loop Backward, Loop Alternate).Looping Sculpture Envelopes
• Sync and ms buttons: Select either a free-running envelope (with segment times
displayed in milliseconds) or a tempo-synced envelope with note value options, such
as 1/8th or 1/4.
Note: Switching between values forces a recalculation of times to the nearest note
value or ms time, respectively, based on the current project tempo.
• Compare button: Toggles between the original recording and the edited version.
Note: This is available as an option only if an envelope curve has actually been recorded
and edited.
• VariMod-Source and Amount: Available only for recorded envelopes. Controls the
strength of envelope variation with a user-defined modulation source.
• Source options include Off, Velocity Concave, Velocity, Velocity Convex, KeyScale,
Ctrl A, and Ctrl B.
• Variation in the envelopes means the deviation of a recorded envelope path from
straight interconnecting lines between the points. After you record an envelope, you
can reduce or exaggerate the amplitude-jitter (variation) of the recording by
Command-dragging the curves between points down (to reduce) or up (to
exaggerate).
Working with Sculpture Envelope Nodes
When an envelope is first opened, a default envelope curve is automatically created for
each envelope. Click the (Mode) Env button to view it.
You will see a few handles (nodes) placed—from left to right—along a straight line within
the envelope. These are indicators of the following parameters.
• Node 1: Start level. Cannot be repositioned.
• Node 2: Attack time position/level.
• Node 3: Loop time position/level.
• Node 4: Sustain time position/level.
