Sculpture - Smoothing pitchbend, anyway to stop it?

[BobTheDog]

Hi Guys.

 

I am trying to setup a guitar controller to use Sculpture.

 

The controller sends pitch-bend changes for hammer ons pull offs.

 

It sounds to me like Sculpture is smoothing the pitch-bend info in some way over time which sounds like a very quick glide rather than an instant change in pitch.

 

Is there a way of telling it not to do this?

 

Thanks for any help

I don't think Sculpture is smoothing out anything... I just tried to input some quasi-instantaneous pitch change info manually, and Sculpture responds to it instantaneously.

 

Try to open the MIDI region recording in the Matrix, and View > Hyperdraw > Pitch, and see what the pitch bend info looks like?

Hi Dave,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Pitchbend info looks ok to me.

 

I am trying to attach a picture and audio file with no luck!

 

Cheers

Hi David,

 

I get this when trying to attach anything

How big is the file? Sounds like a problem with Safari... which version are you using? I'm using 2.0.4 here with no problems.

Hi David,

 

Same version here, I will try IE.

Worked ok in IE under Parallels.

Sounds pretty instantaneous to me? I don't hear any smoothing out. I believe it's normal, it's just a very very quick legato between the two notes.

[BobTheDog]

Hi David,

 

It is the quick legato I need to get rid of.

 

You get the same affect on a Virus TI with smoothing or exponential pitch bending turned on.

 

It is a shame as I quite like the synth.

 

Thanks for your interest

Well if that's the way the instrument reacts to pitch bend, there's not much you can do about that. What would you like: a new attack on the new note?

 

What you could research is whether pull-offs and hammer-ons can retrigger a new note rather than send pitch-bend information, or at least send another kind of information.

[BobTheDog]

Hi David,

 

Yes you can set it up to trigger a new note with a new envelope but this is not what I want, what I want is for the pitch to change to the new value instantly without triggering the envelopes.

 

All other synths I use work this way, or have a setting to work this way I just wondered if there was a setting for Sculpture.

 

Thanks

That's what I am hearing in your sculpture example... I don't hear the smoothing out you're mentioning.
