Chapter 20 ES2 251
Using Controls and Assigning Controllers
The section at the bottom of the ES2 interface provides three modes, accessed by
clicking the buttons on the left:
 Macro: Shows a number of macro parameters which affect groups of other
parameters.
 MIDI: Allows you to assign MIDI controllers to particular Router channels (see “MIDI
Controllers A–F” on page 229).
 Macro Only: Replaces the ES2 interface with a dedicated (and much smaller) view
that is limited to the macro parameters.
Macro Parameters
The macro parameters provide quick access to several linked (and related) parameters.
As you alter any of the macro controls, you will see one, two, or more parameters in the
ES2 interface update. As an example, adjusting the Detune macro control can
simultaneously affect the Analog and Coarse and Fine Tune parameters.
Important: The impact of each macro control is completely dependent on the
parameter values of the current setting. In some patches, a number of macro controls
may have no effect.
Another bonus of the macro parameters is that they are settings-compatible with ES2-
based GarageBand instruments. In other words, you can use the ES2 and some
GarageBand synthesizer settings interchangeably.
