Sculpture Material Pad Keyscale or Release view in MainStage

The Inner Loss Keyscale parameters control the amount of damping—independently for notes above and below middle C. This changes the way damping is scaled as you play lower or higher on the keyboard.

1. In MainStage, click the Keyscale button.

2. Drag the green horizontal line for low notes or the blue horizontal line for high notes.

The Stiffness Keyscale parameters adjust the string stiffness—independently for notes above and below middle C. This changes the scaling of inharmonic content that is heard as you play lower or higher on the keyboard.

1. In MainStage, click the Keyscale button.

2. Horizontally drag the green vertical line for low notes or the blue vertical line for high notes.

   Tip: You can simultaneously adjust both Stiffness and Inner Loss key scaling by dragging the diamond that intersects the green lines.

In Release view, you define changes to the damping amount when the key is released. Conservative use of this parameter—in conjunction with Media Loss Scale Release—allows a natural simulation of strings that are dampened when a note-off message is received. See Sculpture string parameter sliders.

1. In MainStage, click the Release button.

2. Vertically drag the blue Release line.
