Chapter 28 Sculpture 547
Proceed as follows to record an envelope:
1 Move the Object 1 slider all the way to the left. Starting from this position (where it
only generates an overtone-rich scratch), start animating it by using the envelope.
2 Locate the Envelope section in the lower right corner of the Sculpture window. Choose
the first of the two envelopes by clicking on the envelope 1 button, if necessary. In the
left part of the Envelope section, you can see two routing possibilities that allow you to
assign a modulation target to the envelope.
3 Activate the first routing link by clicking on the 1 button, and choose Object1 Position
as the modulation target in the Target menu. Set the modulation intensity to its
maximum value by moving the horizontal slider all the way to the right.
The envelope can now be recorded. It is assumed that your MIDI keyboard has a
modulation wheel which outputs the corresponding MIDI controller message (CC
number 1) and that option 1 ModWh is selected for control of Envelope 1 (CtrlEnv 1) in
the dark bottom edge of the Sculpture window.
4 Click on the button labeled R, located in the upper right corner of the Envelope section
below Record Trigger, to prepare the envelope for recording. Choose the Note+Ctrl
Movement option for the recording. This option specifies that the recording of the
controller messages from the modulation wheel will begin the instant the first note is
played.
5 Play a note when you want to start the recording, and move the modulation wheel
slowly upwards while keeping the key on the keyboard depressed. Pay attention to the
sound variations you create while moving the modulation wheel.
6 At the end of the recording, return the wheel to its initial starting position and, after
you’ve released the depressed note, click on the R button to deactivate the recording
mode.
