Chapter 20 ES2 241
The Square
The Square has two axes: The X and Y axes have positive and negative value ranges.
They are bipolar, in other words. By touching and moving the cursor with the mouse,
the values of both axes are continuously transmitted. As you can modulate one freely
selectable parameter with the X value, and another freely selectable parameter with
the Y value, you can use the mouse like a joystick.
As an alternative to this real-time control, the position of the cursor can be modulated
by the vector envelope—just like the mix between the three oscillators in the Triangle.
The Loop function of the vector envelope generator allows for cyclic movements. This
opens a number of doors, allowing it to operate as a two-dimensional, luxurious
pseudo-LFO with a programmable waveform. More on this is found in “The Vector
Envelope” section, on page 242.
Vector Mode Menu
The Vector Mode menu below the vector envelope button allows you to disable the
control of the Square cursor by the vector envelope. The menu also defines whether or
not the Triangle (the oscillator mixer) shall be controlled by the vector envelope.
 Off: The vector envelope does not influence the Triangle or the Square. It’s simply
switched off. This allows you to set and control the cursors of the Triangle and the
Square in real-time.
 Mix: The vector envelope controls the Triangle (the oscillator mix), but not the
Square.
 XY: The vector envelope controls the Square, but not the Triangle.
 Mix+XY: The vector envelope controls both the Square and Triangle.
