Setting the Oscillator Level Balance in the ES2
Dragging the square icon in the Triangle cross-fades—sets the level
relationships—between the three oscillators. This is self-evident in use. If you move the
square icon along one of the Triangle’s sides, it cross-fades between the two closest
oscillators, and the third oscillator is muted.
Click or click-drag in the
Triangle to change the
level balance between
the oscillators.
Modulating Triangle Coordinates with the ES2 Router
The position of the square icon in the Triangle is described by two
parameters—coordinates, actually—which are relevant when it comes to automating
the oscillator mix. These parameters, called OscLevelX and OscLevelY, are accessible as
targets in the router.
Important: Don’t confuse these coordinates with the X and Y positions of the Planar
Pad (see Using the ES2’s Planar Pad).
Controlling Triangle Coordinates with the ES2 Vector Envelope
The position of the square icon in the Triangle can be controlled via the Vector Envelope.
As the Vector Envelope features a loop function, it can be used as a pseudo-LFO with
a programmable waveform. This can be used to alter the positions of the square icon
in the Triangle. For more information about this feature, see Vector Envelope Control
of the ES2’s Planar Pad and Triangle, and Getting to Know the ES2’s Vector Envelope.
