244 Chapter 22 ES2
In conjunction with the overdrive/distortion circuit (Drive) and a series wiring
configuration, the ES2’s signal flow is anything but commonplace. The graphics
illustrate the signal flow between the Oscillator Mix stage (the Triangle) and the
dynamic stage, which is always controlled by ENV 3. The signal flow through the filters,
the overdrives and the bypassing sidechains is dependent on the Filter Blend setting.
Filter Blend and Serial Filter Configuration Tips
With positive values for Filter Blend, Filter 1 is partially bypassed.
With negative values for Filter Blend, Filter 2 (the low pass) is partially bypassed.
At zero and positive values for Filter Blend, there is only one overdrive circuit for both
filters.
With negative values, another overdrive circuit is introduced, distorting the output
signal of the Oscillator Mix stage before it is fed into the first filter—where Filter Blend
= 1.
Note: If Drive is set to 0, no distortion occurs.

and 1 two distortion
circuits are active—one pre” each filter. Filter Blend cross-fades up to
three bypassing lines simultaneously.
