Play a note or chord and listen to the modulation you recorded. If you’re not satisfied,
repeat the procedure described above until you’re happy. The maximum available
recording time is 40 seconds, which makes it possible to control parameters and create
modulations that extend far beyond the capabilities of a simple ADSR envelope.
Note: By moving the junction points, you can edit the shape of the envelope when the
need arises. By clicking in the empty part of the graphic display and dragging to the right
or left, you can zoom in and out of the display. When you activate the small Sync button,
the junction points snap to a rhythmic grid.
Choose Loop Alternate from the Sustain Mode pop-up menu below the Envelope graphic
display. As the sustain point is found at the end of the envelope, the envelope repeatedly
travels from the beginning to the end and then backward from the end to the beginning,
creating a continuous flux within the sound.
To sum up, you now have a rudimentary but appealing and organic-sounding pad, which
will be used as the foundation for further shaping and refinement. Save this rough version
of the sound as0001 raw pad, to be used as a basis for further experiments.
Increasing Stereo Breadth and Chorus in Sculpture
Follow the steps outlined in Recording an Envelope in Sculpture, if you have not already
done so. To give the very dry-sounding0001 raw pad setting a little more stereo breadth
and chorus effect, modulate the Pickup positions, and assign them to the left and right
channels.
