Use Sculpture envelope nodes in MainStage

When an envelope is first opened, a default envelope curve is automatically created. Click the (Mode) Env button to view it.

A few handles (nodes) are placed—from left to right—along a straight line within the envelope. These are indicators of the following parameters.

• Node 1: Start level—cannot be repositioned

• Node 2: Attack time position/level

• Node 3: Loop time position/level

• Node 4: Sustain time position/level

• Node 5: End time position/level

As you move the pointer along the line, or place it over the nodes, the current envelope segment is highlighted.

You can create your own envelopes manually by manipulating the nodes and lines, or you can record an envelope, as discussed in Record Sculpture envelopes.
