Assigning MIDI Controllers in Sculpture
The bottom strip of the Sculpture interface is used to define MIDI controllers—for vibrato
depth control or Morph Pad movements, for example. You can use any MIDI controller
shown in the menus for these control sources.
These parameters are saved with each setting. They are updated only if the default setting
that is loaded on instantiating the plug-in is used, or if the setting was saved with a
project. This approach helps you to adapt all MIDI controllers to the keyboard, without
having to edit and save each setting separately.
Vib Depth Ctrl menu: Defines the MIDI controller used for vibrato depth control.
Ctrl A and Ctrl B menus: Allow the assignment of two controllers that can be used for
side-chain modulations or as via modulation sources—set in the CtrlA and CtrlB
modulation routing panes.
CtrlEnv 1 and CtrlEnv 2 menus: Set the controller assignments for the two control
envelopes—used as a modulation signal or an offset, the latter in cases where the
control envelope is set to Ctrl only or Ctrl+Env modes. Also used to define the source
for recording controller movements.
Morph X and Morph Y menus: Determine the controller assignments for the x and y
coordinates of the Morph Pad. Once assigned, the controller can be used to manually
move the morph point, program single morph envelope points, shift the entire morph
envelope, and as a source for recording morph movements.
Mode menu: Determines whether MIDI controller assignments are taken from a setting
or left unchanged, when loading a setting. Modes toggle between the original
assignments saved with the setting and the default assignments (taken from the
#default.pst setting, if it exists—which is loaded when Sculpture is inserted into an
instrument channel strip).
To assign a controller
µ
Open the desired control menu, and choose the controller name/number that you want
to use from the list.
To learn a controller assignment via MIDI
1 Open the desired control menu, and choose the -Learn- item.
2 Move the desired controller on your MIDI keyboard or controller.
Note: If no suitable MIDI message is received within 20 seconds, the selected control will
revert to the previous value/assignment.
