The segment that previously existed between the two old points is divided at the clicked
position. The sum of the two new segment times is equal to the time of the original
undivided segment. This ensures that following points retain their absolute time positions.
Existing square icon positions in the Triangle and Planar Pad are fixed, thus ensuring that
newly created points don’t affect any previously defined movements.
To delete a point
µ
Control-click it.
Reverting to Default ES2 Vector Envelope Point Values
On occasion you may want to revert to the default values of a point. This is done directly
in the Triangle or the Planar Pad:
To revert to the default value for a point, do one of the following
µ
Option-click the Triangle. The square icon is set to the center position of the Triangle.
All oscillators are set to output the same level.
µ
Option-click the Planar Pad.
The square icon is set to the center position of the Planar Pad. Both axis values are set to
zero.
Setting the ES2 Vector Envelope Solo Point
The Solo Point button basically turns off the Vector Envelope. If the Solo Point button is
activated, no dynamic modulations are generated by the Vector Envelope. In this scenario,
the currently visible square icon positions of the Triangle and Planar Pad are permanently
in effect. These square icon positions match the currently selected Vector Envelope point.
If you select another Vector Envelope point by clicking it, the square icon positions in the
Triangle and Planar Pad will update to reflect your selection. If the Solo Point button is
turned on, the newly selected point will become the Solo point.
Note: You can independently switch off Vector Envelope modulation of the Planar Pad
by setting Vector Mode to off, as described in Vector Envelope Control of the ES2’s Planar
Pad and Triangle.
Setting the ES2 Vector Envelope Sustain Point
As mentioned earlier, any point can be declared the Sustain point. Assuming that the
played note is held long enough and there’s no loop engaged, any envelope movement
will stop when this Sustain point is reached. The Sustain point value is maintained until
the key is released—until the MIDI note-off command.
To define a point as the Sustain point
µ
Click in the turquoise strip above the desired point.
