If Drive is set to 0, no distortion occurs.
Filter Blend:Parallel filter configuration information
In a parallel configuration, the overdrive/distortion circuit—the Drive parameter—is
always wired after the oscillator mix stage—the Triangle—and before the filters. The
filters receive a mono input signal from the output of the overdrive circuit. The outputs
of both filters are mixed to mono via Filter Blend.
The Filter Blend parameter is available as a modulation target in the router. You can use
manual control sources, such as the modulation wheel, to change the filter blend; but the
Filter Blend target can also be used creatively, to rapidly switch or smoothly fade between
the two filters. You can also use velocity, or a combination of the Vector Envelope and
Planar Pad as sources. The latter allows for interesting filter control possibilities that evolve
independently, or alongside oscillator parameters that are also being controlled with the
Vector Envelope.
Crossfade between ES2 filters
In Logic Pro, drag the Filter Blend slider to crossfade between the two filters when
cabled in parallel.
If Filter Blend is set to the top position, you only hear the effect of Filter1.
If Filter Blend is set to its lowest position, you only hear the effect of Filter2.
In between these positions, the filters are crossfaded. You hear the effect of both
filters.
You can also crossfade the filters when they are cabled in series. In this situation, the
distortion—controlled by the Drive parameter—also needs to be considered, as this
can be positioned either before or in between the filters, depending on the Filter Blend
setting you choose.
