It is important to note that you can only record the movements of the assigned MIDI controller. MIDI controller assignments for the envelopes must be set in the MIDI Controller Assignment section at the bottom of the Sculpture interface (see Define Sculpture MIDI controllers).
R(ecord) button: Start or stop envelope recording. Recording can also be stopped using the trigger mode function described below.
Record trigger mode pop-up menu: Choose different record trigger modes to start and stop recording when Record is active.
NoteOn: Recording starts when a note is played.
Note + Ctrl Movement: Recording starts when MIDI control change messages arrive while a note is held (for information about assigned MIDI controllers, see Define Sculpture MIDI controllers.
Note + Sustain Pedal: Recording starts when the sustain pedal is depressed while a note is held.
Choose a Record Trigger Mode, such as Note + Ctrl.
Click the Record button (the “R”) to start recording.
Play, and hold, a key—and start moving the controllers assigned to envelope controls 1 or 2 or both, such as the modulation wheel.
Do one of the following:
Click the Record button ( the “R”) to disengage it.
Release all voices.
Play a new note after releasing all keys.
Note: When a controller movement has been recorded, R(ecord) is automatically set to off and Mode is set to Env. This ensures that only the recorded movement is active, regardless of the stop position of the recorded controller.
Play a key to begin polyphonic playback of the recorded envelope.
Note: The Mode parameter must be set to Env and the R(ecord) parameter must be set to off.
You can also turn on both the Env and Ctrl buttons of the Mode parameter, which enables you to use controllers assigned to Ctrl Env1 or Ctrl Env2 to manipulate the envelope in real time, alongside playback of the recorded envelope.
Note: When both Env and Ctrl are turned on, the controller value is added to the envelope output, resulting in a modulation offset.
The envelope segments and handles are set automatically after recording. Drag the vertical lines that intersect the handles to enable editing.
Note: This does not change the shape of the envelope.
