The Sustain point is indicated by an S between the point and its number shown on the
turquoise strip.
Setting Up ES2 Vector Envelope Loops
The Vector Envelope can run in one-shot mode—as long as the note is sustained; it can
be set to repeat a specific number of times; or it can repeat indefinitely—much like an
LFO modulation. You can achieve repetitions by using the loop functions.
Although the loop parameters may remind you of the loop parameters available for
samples, there are significant differences between them. The Vector Envelope only supplies
control signals that are used to move the square icon positions of the Triangle and Planar
Pad. The audio output of the ES2 is not looped in any way.
Setting the Loop Point
Any point can be declared the Loop point. Provided that the note is held for a suitable
length of time, portions of the envelope can be repeated, or looped.
The looped area spans the time between the Sustain point and the Loop point. In-between
these points you can define several points that describe square icon movements in the
Triangle and the Planar Pad.

A Loop point is indicated by an L in the strip below.
Note: To see and define the Loop point, Loop Mode must be activated (see “Setting the
Vector Envelope Loop Mode” below).
