Tokøta from Mastering.com breaks down Sculpture, Logic Pro's physical modeling synth, and how it swaps standard oscillators for string based materials: steel, nylon, wood, and glass, blendable across a single slider.
Media loss controls string damping, letting you tighten the release without touching attack, decay, or sustain, essentially palm muting the tone.
Resolution shapes harmonic content. Pull it down and a rich, sawtooth like material collapses into a bare sine wave, with overtones building back in as you raise it.
Tension mod introduces natural pitch drift, mimicking what happens when a guitar string is struck hard. Dial it to zero for perfect pitch, or add it back for realistic instability.
