• The Speed parameter determines the modulation rate.
Creating Random ES2 Sound Variations
The ES2 offers a unique feature that allows you to randomly vary the sound parameters.
You can define the amount of random variation and restrict variations to specific sonic
elements. The random sound variation feature will inspire and aid you when creating
new sounds. It may also occasionally amuse you.
Adjust the slider to
determine the amount of
randomization.
Choose which
parameters you would
like to randomize with
the options in this menu.

your sound settings.
To randomly alter a sound
µ
Click the RND button below the Filter section.
The process is triggered by a single click and can be repeated as often as you like.
Note: This feature has nothing to do with random real-time modulations. The random
feature changes parameter values randomly—each time you click the RND button.
Real-time random modulations are achieved with the random LFO waveforms, or through
use of the Analog parameter, which randomizes pitch settings.
Tip: It’s recommended that you save any sounds resulting from the RND process that
you want to keep—as you work. Save the setting with a new name—using the Settings
menu of the plug-in window.
Defining the Amount of Randomization in the ES2
You can set the amount of random parameter alteration with the RND Int slider, found
to the right of the Random button.
To increase the amount of random variation
µ
Move the slider further to the right.
The random sound variation feature always alters parameters as they are currently set,
not based on the original setting file. Therefore, clicking RND repeatedly will result in a
sound that increasingly differs from the original setting.
