CommentsTarget
(Envelope 2 Decay) modulates the Decay time of the second
envelope generator. In cases where you’ve selected Env2Dec as the
target and Velocity as the source, the duration of the decaying note
is dependent on how hard you strike the key. Selecting Keyboard
as the source will result in higher notes decaying more quickly (or
slowly).
Env2Dec
Env2Rel (Envelope 2 Release) modulates the Release time of the
second envelope generator.
Env2Rel
Env2Time (Envelope 2 All Times) modulates all of ENV2’s time
parameters: Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release times.
Env2Time
Env3Atck (Envelope 3 Attack) modulates the Attack time of ENV3.Env3Atck
Env3Dec (Envelope 3 Decay) modulates the Decay time of ENV3.Env3Dec
Env3Rel (Envelope 3 Release) modulates the Release time of ENV3.Env3Rel
Env3Time (Envelope 3 All Times) modulates all ENV3 time
parameters: Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release times.
Env3Time
This target modulates the duration of the Glide (portamento) effect.
If you modulate Glide, with Velocity selected as the source, the
speed of the keystrike determines the time it takes for the played
notes to reach the target pitch.

ES2 Modulation Source Reference
The following modulation sources are available:

LFO 1 is used as a source.LFO1
LFO 2 is used as a source.LFO2
Envelope Generator 1 is used as a source.ENV1
Envelope Generator 2 is used as a source.ENV2
Envelope Generator 3 is used as a source. Envelope Generator 3
always controls the level of the overall sound.

Define the axes of the Planar Pad as modulation sources for the
selected modulation target. See Using the ES2’s Planar Pad and
Getting to Know the ES2’s Vector Envelope.
Pad-X, Pad-Y
Max sets the value of this source to +1. This offers interesting options
for controlling the modulation intensity with all possible via values.

Kybd (Keyboard) outputs the keyboard position (the MIDI note
number). The center point is C3 (an output value of 0). Five octaves
below and above, an output value of −1 or +1, respectively is sent.
Modulate the Cut 1+2 target with the Kybd source to control the
cutoff frequencies of the filters with the keyboard position—as you
play up and down the keyboard, the cutoff frequencies change. A
modulation intensity of 0.5 proportionately scales cutoff frequencies
with keyboard note pitches.
