Explore Sculpture objects in Logic Pro for Mac
Up to three objects of different types are used to excite or disturb the vibration of the string.
Tip: Before starting, Control-click the string (the green horizontal line in the Pickup display), then then choose “enable string animation” from the shortcut menu. When active, the string vibrates when you play a note, making it easier to visualize the impact of the objects and pickups.

In Logic Pro, reload the #default (or your vanilla) setting file by choosing Reset Setting from the Settings pop-up menu.
Click the Object 1 button to deselect it while you are repeatedly striking a key. The sound stops after Object 1 is deselected. The string itself doesn’t make a sound unless it is stimulated by at least one object. Click the button again to reactivate it.
Choose each menu item from the Object 1 Type pop-up menu. Strike a note repeatedly while you choose each item to hear the impact of each object type on the string. Keep an eye on the string animation. Note that Object 1 can make use of excite types only. Object 2 can make use of either excite or damping types. Object 3 can make use of damping types only.
Adjust the Strength knob by dragging vertically for large changes or horizontally for fine adjustments. Strike a note repeatedly while doing so.
Drag the Timbre and VeloSens arrowheads to different positions while striking a key to audition the changes that they bring.
The impact of the Variation parameter is different for each type of object. Feel free to experiment with this as well.
