Recording Morph Envelopes in Sculpture
The following section outlines the steps required to record a morph envelope.
To record a morph envelope
1 Choose a trigger mode (see below), if you don’t want to use the Morph Pad.
2 Press the R(ecord) Enable button to “arm” the morph envelope record function.
3 Play a note on your MIDI keyboard, and do one of the following:
a Drag the silver ball in the Morph Pad.
b Move an external controller (see Assigning MIDI Controllers in Sculpture).
Following the recording of a controller movement, R(ecord) Enable is automatically set
to off and Mode is set to Env only. This ensures that only the recorded movement is active,
regardless of the controller’s position or further movements after you finish recording.
Note: The mode defaults to (Morph) Pad as soon as the R button is clicked (for more
information on modes, see Using the Sculpture Morph Envelope Parameters).
To choose a record trigger mode
µ
Click the menu to the right of the R button, and choose from one of the following trigger
modes, which will start recording when R(ecord) Enable is active:
• NoteOn: Recording starts when a note is played.
• Note + Move Morph Point: Recording starts when MIDI control change messages (as
assigned in the Morph X and Y parameters of the MIDI Controller Assign section) arrive
while a note is held.
• Note + Sustain Pedal: Recording starts when the sustain pedal is depressed while a note
is held.
To stop a recording
Do one of the following:
µ
Click the R(ecord) Enable button (or trigger) a second time.
µ
Release all keys, and allow all voices to complete their decay phase. This will automatically
end the recording.
Note: You can stop recording early, before the decay phase completes, by releasing all
keys and then pressing a single key.
