Getting to Know Sculptures Morph Envelope Display
The morph envelope offers nine points/eight segments, and recording functionality that
is much like that of the controller envelopes.
The selected (orange)
point in the lower panel
(the Timeline)
corresponds to the
selected point in the
Morph Pad trajectory.
The overall time/length of the morph envelope is indicated by the numerical entry at
the top right of the display.
The maximum time/length of the morph envelope is 48 bars/40 seconds.
The lines on the background grid are placed 100 milliseconds apart.
If you click the handles (nodes) or lines between the nodes, the current envelope
segment becomes highlighted. A small help tag also indicates the millisecond value
of the current segment.
As you move your cursor along the line, or hover over the nodes, the current envelope
segment is highlighted.
You can create your own envelopes manually by manipulating the nodes and lines, or
you can record an envelope (see Recording Morph Envelopes in Sculpture).
To adjust the time between nodes
µ
Drag the desired handle to the left or right. As you do so, the overall length of the morph
envelope will change, with all following nodes being moved.
You cannot move a node beyond the position of the preceding node. You can, however,
move nodes beyond the position of the following node—even beyond the right side of
the envelope display—effectively lengthening both the envelope segment and the overall
envelope.
