You cannot move a node beyond the position of the preceding node. You can,
however, move nodes beyond the position of the following node—even beyond the
right-hand side of the envelope display—effectively lengthening both the envelope
segment and the overall envelope.
When you release the mouse button, the envelope display will automatically zoom to
show the entire envelope.
To adjust the level of each node, click on the desired handle, and drag it up or down.
To adjust the shape of the curve between nodes, click directly on the line that connects
them, and drag it up or down.
In the case of recorded envelopes, you may have a more complex curve between
nodes. To adjust, Control-click and drag the curve.
Experiment with each node/parameter to get a feel for its operation. You’ll find that the
envelopes are very intuitive to use.
Copying Envelopes
If you Control-click on the envelope buttons or on the envelope display’s background, a
shortcut menu opens, offering Copy, Paste, and Clear commands. These allow you to
copy and paste (or clear) envelopes between Envelopes 1 and 2, between settings or
multiple open Sculpture instances.
Envelope Recording
Before proceeding, it is important to note that you can only record MIDI controller
movements of the assigned MIDI controller. MIDI controller assignments for the
envelopes must be set in the MIDI Controller Assignment section at the bottom of the
Sculpture interface:
