Chapter 28 Sculpture 505
 As you move your mouse cursor along the line, or hover over the nodes directly, the
current envelope segment is highlighted.
 You can create your own envelopes manually, by manipulating the nodes and lines,
or you may record an envelope, as discussed in “Recording Morph Envelopes” on
page 505.
 To adjust the time between nodes, click on the desired handle, and drag it left or
right. As you do so, the overall length of the morph envelope will change—with all
following nodes—being moved.
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.
Note: Sculpture’s Morph Pad displays a moving dot that indicates the current morph
position, during a morph on a monophonically played sound. The red line in the
Timeline below shows the current time position.
Recording Morph Envelopes
The following section outlines the parameters needed to record a morph envelope.
R(ecord) Enable Button
The R button enables the morph envelope record functionality. This button works in a
similar fashion to the record arm buttons in Logic Pro.
To make a morph envelope recording, just click the R button, play a note, and start
moving the silver ball in the Morph Pad with the mouse. You can also make use of an
external controller (see “Morph X and Morph Y Menus” on page 510).
The mode is automatically set to Pad as soon as the R button is clicked (for more
information on modes, see “Morph Envelope Parameters” on page 506).
Record Trigger Mode
The menu to the right of the R button is used to select different trigger modes to start
recording (when R(ecord) Enable is active):
 NoteOn: Recording starts when a note is played.
 Note + Move Morph Point: Recording starts when MIDI control change messages (as
assigned in the Morph X and Y parameters of the MIDI Controller Assign section)
arrive while a note is held.
