242 Chapter 20 ES2
Note: Like all of the ES2’s parameters, the movements of the cursors in the Triangle and
Square can be recorded and automated by Logic Express. This automation data can be
edited and looped in Logic Express. This is completely independent of the cyclic
modulations of the vector envelope. Vector modulation of the Square and Triangle
should be disabled for this type of use (Vector mode = off).
Vector Target—Modulation Destinations
The Vector X and Vector Y target menus determine the effect of cursor movements in
the Square. The modulation targets are identical to those available in the Router. Please
see the “Modulation Targets” section, on page 222 for descriptions. The position of the
cursor in the Square is also available in the Router, as the Pad-X and Pad-Y Source and
via options.
Vector Int—The Modulation Intensity
The maximum intensity, sensitivity, and polarity of the modulation is set with the
Vector X Int and Vector Y Int parameters.
The Vector Envelope
The Triangle and Square are the most special and unusual elements of the ES2’s
graphical user interface. Whilst the Triangle controls the mix of the three oscillators, the
X and Y axes of the Square can modulate any (modulation) target.
The vector envelope can control the movement of the cursors in the Triangle and the
Square in realtime. Each voice is equipped with its own vector envelope, which is
triggered from its startpoint with every new keystrike (or with every MIDI note-on
message, to be more precise).
The concept of the vector envelope, the Square, and the Triangle may seem strange at
first glance; but when combined with the other ES2 synthesis options, you will end up
with sounds that are truly unique—and quite literally—moving.
