 Speed knob: Controls the rate of the oscillator frequency or cutoff frequency
modulation.
 Frequency knob: Sets the cutoff frequency of the resonance-capable dynamic
lowpass filter.
 Resonance knob: Sets the resonance of the dynamic lowpass filter. Increasing the
Resonance value results in a rejection of bass (low frequency energy) when using
lowpass filters. The ES P compensates for this side-effect internally, resulting in a
more bassy sound.
 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 buttons: The cutoff frequency can be modulated by MIDI note number
(keyboard position); you may know this parameter as Keyboard Follow on other
synthesizers. You have the choice of: no modulation, one third, two thirds, or full
keyboard follow (3/3). When set to 3/3, the relative harmonic content of each note is
the same, independent of its pitch.
 ADSR Int knob: The ES P features one ADSR envelope generator per voice. ADSR Int
sets the amount of cutoff frequency modulation by the ADSR envelope generator.
 Velo Filter knob: The cutoff frequency modulation by the ADSR envelope generator is
velocity sensitive. The amount of velocity sensitivity is set by the Velo Filter knob.
 Volume knob: Sets the master volume of the ES P.
 Velo Volume knob: Determines the amount of velocity sensitivity, with each note
being louder if struck more firmly.
 A (Attack) slider: Determines the attack time of the envelope generator.
 D (Decay) slider: Determines the decay time of the envelope generator.
 S (Sustain) slider: Determines the sustain level of the envelope generator.
 R (Release) slider: Determines the release time of the envelope generator.
 Chorus knob: Sets the intensity of the integrated chorus effect.
 Overdrive knob: Sets the overdrive/distortion level of the ES P output. Caution: The
overdrive effect significantly increases the output level.
