Sculpture envelope parameters
Sculpture envelope overview
Among Sculpture’s control sources are two envelopes. In traditional synthesizer designs,
envelopes are used to control amplitude and filter levels over time. By comparison, Sculpture’s
envelopes are somewhat special in that they can be used as:
••
Traditional four-segment envelopes
••
MIDI controller modulations
••
A combination of both—as MIDI controller movement recorders with ADSR-like macro
parameters, for polyphonic playback
