Tutorials
You will find the settings for these tutorials in the Tutorial Settings folder in the Settings
menu (in the header of the ES2 window).
Sound Workshop
The Sound Workshop will guide you—from scratch—through the creation of
commonly used sounds. The following tutorial section will also guide you through the
sound creation process, but starts you off with a number of templates.
Sound Design From Scratch, Filter Settings, Digiwaves
The Analog Saw Init tutorial setting is designed for use as a starting point, when
programming new sounds from “scratch.” Professional sound designers like to use
“scratch” settings when programming entirely new sounds, usually as follows: An un-
filtered sawtooth wave sound without envelopes, modulations, or any gimmicks. This
type of setting is also useful when getting to know a new synthesizer. It allows you to
access all parameters without having to consider any pre-set values.
 Start with the filters, the heart of any subtractive synthesizer. Check out the four
lowpass filter types 12 dB, 18 dB, 24 dB and fat (Filter 2) with different values for Cut
(Cutoff Frequency) and Res (Resonance). Define Env 2 as filter envelope. This
modulation wiring is pre-set in the Router.
 Set Filter Blend to its left-most position, which will allow you to listen to Filter 1 in
isolation. In many circumstances, you’ll probably prefer Filter 2, but Filter 1 has its
advantages. In addition to the lowpass filter with 12 dB/octaves slope (Lo), Filter 2
also offers: a highpass, peak, bandpass (BP), and band rejection mode (BR). Filter 1’s
lowpass sounds “softer,” when compared with Filter 2. It is best-suited to sounds
where the filter effect is/should be less audible (Strings, FM sounds). Distorted TB-303
style sounds are more easily achieved with Filter 1.
 This setting is also ideal for checking out the oscillator waveforms. The analog
waveforms can be set in the Editor view. In order to select the Digiwaves, set Osc 1
Wave to Digiwave.
