Getting to Know the ES P Interface
Before you take a look at the individual parameters of the ES P, this section will familiarize
you with the various elements in the ES P graphical interface.
Filter parameters
Effect parameters
Envelope parameters
Level parametersLFO parameters
Oscillator parameters
• Oscillator parameters: The Oscillator sliders are shown in the area to the left. The Octave
parameters are also found in this section. The oscillators generate the basic waveforms
that form the basis of your sound. See Using the ES P Oscillators.
• LFO parameters: The LFO parameters (to the right of the Oscillator parameters) are used
to modulate the sound. See Using the ES P LFO.
• Filter parameters: The vertical column in the center includes the (Cutoff) Frequency and
Resonance knobs and the Key Follow buttons. The filter is used to contour the
waveforms sent from the oscillators. See Using the ES P LFO.
• Envelope and Level parameters: The area to the right of the Filter parameters contains
the Envelope and Level parameters, which control the level of the sound over time.
See Using the ES P Envelope and Level Controls.
• Effect parameters: The area at the extreme right contains the Chorus and Overdrive
parameters. These can be used to color or thicken the sound. See Using the Integrated
ES P Effects.
• Extended parameters: Not shown in the image, the extended parameters are accessed
by clicking the triangle at the lower left of the interface. These parameters include bend
and tuning functions. See Extended ES P Parameters.
