Corpus
The Corpus Effect.
Corpus is an effect that simulates the acoustic characteristics of seven types of resonant
objects. Developed in collaboration with Applied Acoustics Systems, Corpus uses physical
modelling technology to provide a wide range of parameters and modulation options.
The full version of Corpus is not included with the standard version of Live, but is bundled
with the
Collision
instrument as a special feature available for purchase separately.
The frequency and/or decay rate of the resonance can be MIDI modulated, by enabling the
Frequency and/or Off Decay switches in the Sidechain section. The MIDI From choosers
allow you to select the MIDI track and tapping point from which to receive MIDI note
information.
With Frequency enabled, the tuning of the resonance is determined by the incoming MIDI
note. If multiple notes are held simultaneously, the Last/Low switch determines whether the
last or the lowest note will have priority.
The Transpose and Fine knobs allow for coarse and ne offset of the MIDI-modulated tuning.
PB Range sets the range in semitones of pitch bend modulation. With Frequency disabled,
the Tune control adjusts the base frequency of the resonance in Hertz. The corresponding
MIDI note number and ne tuning offset in cents is displayed below.
Enabling Off Decay causes MIDI note off messages to mute the resonance. The slider below
the switch determines the extent to which MIDI note off messages mute the resonance. At
0%, note offs are ignored, and the decay time is based only on the value of the Decay
parameter, which is located under the Resonance Type selector. This is similar to how
