Dynamic Shaping

Use waveform generators to create smooth, periodic dynamic contours. A Gen Sine node produces undulating dynamics that cycle between loud and soft. Gen Triangle gives linear ramp-up and ramp-down patterns. Gen Sawtooth creates repeated crescendo-to-subito-piano gestures. Gen Square alternates abruptly between two dynamic levels.

Connect the waveform output to a Velocity Curve node, which samples the BPF at the number of events in your rhythm and maps the values to MIDI velocities (0–127). For simpler cases, the Cresc/Dim node provides a direct crescendo or diminuendo with adjustable curve shape — linear, logarithmic, or exponential.

For complex dynamic shapes, combine Gen Fourier (additive synthesis of control curves) with Velocity Curve. Or draw a completely free BPF by hand and sample it. Connect the resulting velocity list to the velocity input of the Voice node to apply the dynamics to your composition.
