The Body EQ can work as a simple EQ, as a complex spectral shaper, or as a body response simulator. In effect, the Body EQ can emulate the resonant characteristics of a wooden or metallic body—such as that of a guitar, violin, or flute.
The various models are derived from impulse response recordings of actual instrument bodies. These recordings have been separated into their general formant structure and fine structure, enabling you to alter these properties separately.
The Body EQ affects the summed signal of all voices, rather than each voice independently.
Body EQ On/Off button: Turn the spectral shaping (Body EQ) section on or off.
Model pop-up menu: Choose from various emulations of acoustic instrument bodies or the Basic EQ model. Your selection is reflected in the graphical display to the right.
Note: When Basic EQ or another Body EQ model is chosen, the three knobs and slider parameter names and behaviors change. See Sculpture Basic EQ model, and Sculpture Body EQ models.
