Randomize morph points in Sculpture’s Morph Pad
The randomize feature creates random variations of selected morph points. When combined
with the copy/paste function, randomizing lends itself to using the Morph Pad as an automatic
sound generator.
Use of the Morph Pad can yield interesting composite sounds—hybrids of the original and
morphed sound. You can copy this hybrid sound to a corner of the Morph Pad, or to several
corners, and randomize it by a definable amount. The morphed sound then becomes a new
timbral element that can, in turn, be moved to the corners, randomized, and so on.
In effect, you are “breeding” a sound, while maintaining some control by selecting parent
and child sounds. This approach can result in new, complex sounds—even if your sound
programming knowledge is limited.

••
Point buttons: Click to define the number of morph points that you want to use for
randomization. The active button indicates which points will be randomized.
The bottom button, when selected, limits randomization to the currently selected
morph point.
••
Auto Select button: Turn on to automatically select the closest morph point.
••
Randomize button: Click to create randomized values for all parameters of the chosen
morph points.
••
Int(ensity) slider: Move to set the amount of randomization from 1% (slight deviation) to 100%
(completely random values).
