Setting the ES2 Vector Envelope Loop Mode
You can choose from the following Vector Envelope Loop modes: Off, Forward, Backward,
and Alternate.
Click here to choose a
Loop mode.
• Off: When Loop Mode is set to Off, the Vector Envelope runs in one-shot mode from
beginning to end—if the note is held long enough to complete all envelope phases.
The other loop parameters are disabled.
• Forward: When Loop Mode is set to Forward, the Vector Envelope runs from the
beginning to the Sustain point—then begins to periodically repeat the section between
the Sustain point and the Loop point—in a forward direction.
• Backward: When Loop Mode is set to Backward, the Vector Envelope runs from the
beginning to the Sustain point—then begins to periodically repeat the section between
the Sustain point and the Loop point—in a backward direction.
• Alternate: When Loop Mode is set to Alternate, the Vector Envelope runs from the
beginning to the Sustain point—then periodically switches to the Loop point, then
back to the Sustain point—alternating between backward and forward directions.
Setting the ES2 Vector Envelope Loop Rate
Just as every LFO has a speed, or rate, parameter, the loop can be set to cycle at a defined
speed. The Vector Envelope Loop Rate can also be synchronized with the project tempo.
To adjust the Vector Envelope loop rate, do one of the following
µ
Drag the green indicator in the center of the Loop Rate bar to the left or right.
µ
Drag vertically in the value field “as set” (shown in the figure below).
• As set: If you switch the Loop Rate to “as set,” the loop cycle length will equal the sum
of the times between the sustain and Loop points. Click the field labeled “as set” below
the Rate slider to select it.
• Rhythmic: If you set the Loop Rate to one of the rhythmic values (sync) by dragging
the Loop Rate indicator towards the left half of the slider, the loop rate will follow the
project tempo. You can choose from 32 bars up to a 64th triplet note value.
