When you are in any of the loop modes, the loop always cycles between user-defined
envelope handles that indicate the loop start point (L icon), and the sustain point (S icon).
These handles can be dragged to the desired position.
• When set to Finish, the envelope runs in one-shot mode from beginning to end—even
if the note is released before all envelope phases have completed. The other loop
parameters are disabled.
• When set to Loop Forward, the envelope runs to the sustain point, and begins to
periodically repeat the section between the loop and sustain points—always in a
forward direction.
• When set to Loop Backward, the envelope runs to the sustain point, and begins to
periodically repeat the section between the sustain and loop points—always in a
backward direction.
• When set to Loop Alternate, the envelope runs to the sustain point, then periodically
returns to the loop point and back to the sustain point, alternating in both a backward
and forward direction.
Note: If the loop point lies behind the sustain point, the loop will start after the key is
released.
Recording Sculpture Envelopes
Before proceeding, it is important to note that you can only record the movements of
the assigned MIDI controller. MIDI controller assignments for the envelopes must be set
in the MIDI Controller Assignment section at the bottom of the Sculpture interface (see
Assigning MIDI Controllers in Sculpture).

• R(ecord) button: Enables—“arms”—the envelope record functionality. To stop—or
“disarm”—recording, click the R button a second time, or use the trigger mode function
described below.
