460 Chapter 28 Sculpture
Global Parameters
These are found across the top of the Sculpture interface, unless otherwise specified.
Transpose
Transpose is used for coarse tuning of the entire instrument. Given the ability of
component modeling to radically alter pitch with certain settings, coarse tuning is
limited to octave increments.
Tune
Tune is used for fine tuning of the entire instrument (range: ±50 cents). A cent is
1/100th of a semitone.
Warmth
Warmth is used to slightly detune the different voices, much like the random
fluctuations caused by the components and circuitry of analog synthesizers. As the
parameter name suggests, this warms up or thickens the sound.
Glide Time
Values above 0.0 lead to a softer pitch change between played notes.
Voices
When Keyboard Mode is set to Poly, this parameter limits the number of
simultaneously sounding voices to the set value. A value of 16 voices is the maximum
polyphony of Sculpture.
Keyboard Mode
Here, you can select between the Mono, Legato, or Poly Keyboard Modes. You can
switch between mono and poly modes by clicking on the Poly and Mono buttons. The
Portamento, the duration of which is set by the Glide Time parameter, affects legato
performances. As long as you don’t release the key of the previously struck note before
clicking a new key, you’ll hear the glide or portamento. If you release every note before
striking another key (portato or even staccato style), the glide effect will not be audible.
When the Legato button is activated, a further side-effect occurs. The amplitude
envelope is not retriggered—the sound is sustained and the attack phase of newly
played notes is not retriggered. These behaviors are sometimes referred to as single
trigger and multi trigger modes.
All modes simply retrigger a (potentially sounding) voice with the same pitch, instead
of allocating a new one. As such, multiple triggering of a given note results in slight
timbral variations, depending on the current state of the model at note-on time.
