After you choose different settings for the Morph Pad corners, moving the morph ball
will create marked sound variations—even though the intermediate stages do not all
exhibit a tonal character. You can automate the morphing process by assigning two MIDI
controllers to the MorphX and MorphY pop-up menus at Sculpture’s bottom edge. You
can also automate the Morph Pad using a recorded envelope (for more information, see
Recording Morph Envelopes in Sculpture).
On each side of the Morph Pad there is a randomizing feature that randomly varies sounds
to a chosen intensity level, or amount of randomization. This is especially useful for subtle
changes to natural sounds, but it can also provide for rewarding variations to synthesized
sounds as well.
To use the randomizing function
1 Select one of the squares on the left side of the Morph Pad to determine the number of
corners that are to be varied.
2 Drag the slider on the right side of the Morph Pad to adjust the intensity of the random
deviations.
3 Click the Rnd button at the top of the slider to perform the randomization. When you
next move the morph ball, you’ll hear the variations you just created.
