Hello, as I am better learning PotterDraw I have had a few scenarios where I would like to control where in the model the Scallop start's and possibly ends. In the following picture you can see the Scallop Waveform Triangle begins at the bottom and ends at the top. Another approach would be the same however have it taper and or build its power as it goes and possibly reduce it near the top. I have been using Ring Phase modulation configuration quite a bit and was thinking maybe somewhere within the different areas you can leverage modulation you might be able to accomplish something like I am referring to.
Hi Brian. If I understand correctly, you want to limit the effect with an envelope, and you can accomplish that by modulating one or more parameters, and if necessary, also using second-order modulation (modulating the modulator's parameters). I suggest you read up on Potterdraw’s modulation capabilities, and also carefully examine the models in the web site's gallery page, many of which make use of parameter modulation.
Hi Chris, just quickly looked at the images in the Gallery and it's very clear I will be able to achieve this requirement. I will do as you suggested and focus on the modulation documentation and testing these configurations. Thank you for your support.
Just a quick update I was able to achieve the envelope effect within a simple modulation. Thank you for your guidance on this.
