Sculpture’s Morph Envelope mode
The Mode buttons activate the Morph Envelope and provide a choice of several modes:
••
Both buttons off: Morph function is disabled.
••
Pad only: Envelope is deactivated, and morphing is controlled by the morph ball or X/Y MIDI
controllers only.
••
Env only: Envelope is running, but the morph ball and X/Y MIDI controllers are deactivated.
••
Env + Pad: Envelope is running, and the position of the morph ball or X/Y MIDI controllers is
used as an offset for any envelope movements.
••
Offset button: When in Env + Pad mode, choose from several menu items:
••
Offset: The default mode. Behavior is the same as Env+Pad mode: Envelope is running,
and the position of the morph ball or X/Y MIDI controllers is used as an offset for any
envelope movements.
••
Point Set: Envelope is running. The selected envelope point can be edited by moving the
morph ball or with a MIDI controller (MorphX and MorphY Controller Assignments).
••
Point Solo: Envelope is in a kind of snapshot mode. The selected envelope point can be
edited by moving the morph ball.
Sculpture Morph Envelope Sustain and loop mode
The Sustain mode pop-up menu lets you choose one of the following modes: Sustain, Finish,
Loop Forward, Loop Backward, Loop Alternate, and Scan via CtrlB.
When you are in any of the loop modes, the loop always cycles between the loop and sustain
envelope handles—the nodes indicated by the L and S icons. The Morph Envelope can, like any
envelope, run in one-shot mode—it runs normally, for as long as the note is sustained. It can also
run several times, or in an infinite cycle, much like an LFO. You can achieve the latter through the
use of loops.
