To adjust a time value without affecting the absolute time positions of later points
µ
Control-drag the Time parameter to increase or decrease the time required to reach the
following point. The time setting of the ensuing point is simultaneously adjusted—by a
corresponding amount. This ensures that the adjacent and all following points retain
their absolute time positions.
Time Scaling the ES2’s Vector Envelope
You can stretch and compress the entire Vector Envelope. This is extremely useful if you
want to double the Vector Envelope’s speed, for example. Rather than halving the time
values of every point, you can set the Time Scaling parameter above the ENV3 Attack
slider to 50%.

time scale.
• The Time Scaling parameter ranges from 10% to 1000%. It is scaled logarithmically.
• If the Loop Rate is “as set,” scaling also affects the loop.
• If the Loop Rate is set to a free or synced value, the setting is not affected by the Time
Scaling parameter.
ES2 Fix Timing—Normalizing Time Scaling and the Loop Rate
Clicking the Fix Timing button (to the right of the Time Scaling parameter) multiplies the
Time Scaling value by all time parameters, and Time Scaling will be reset to 100%. There
will be no audible difference. This is simply a normalizing procedure, similar to the
Normalizing function in the Region parameter box.
In cases where Loop Rate is set to a synced value, clicking Fix Timing will switch the Loop
Rate to “as set,” thus preserving the absolute rate.
