Modulation router: The modulation router—or router, for short—links modulation
sources, such as the envelope, to modulation targets, such as the oscillators and filters.
The router features ten modulation routings, arranged into columns. See Use the Logic
Pro ES2 modulation router.
Modulation sources: The modulation sources include the LFOs and envelopes. See
Logic Pro ES2 LFO overview and Logic Pro ES2 envelopes overview.
Vector Envelope: The Vector Envelope is an extremely sophisticated, loop-capable,
multipoint envelope that can control the Planar Pad and Triangle (oscillator mix
parameter). Click the Vector Envelope button to view it in place of the modulation
router. See Use the Logic Pro ES2 Vector Envelope.
Planar Pad: The Planar Pad is a two-dimensional controller that facilitates the
simultaneous manipulation of two, freely assignable, parameters. It can be controlled
with the Vector Envelope. See Use the Logic Pro ES2 Planar Pad.

The modulation router—or router—spans the center of the ES2interface. Click the Router
button to view the modulation router in place of the Vector Envelope. You can hide or
show the router/Vector Envelope by clicking the disclosure triangle at the lower left of the
section. If you are new to synthesizer modulation routings, see Modulation overview.
Any modulation source can be connected to any modulation target, much like an old-
fashioned telephone exchange or a studio patch bay.
The modulation intensity—how strongly the target is influenced by the source—is set with
the vertical slider to the right of the modulation routing.
The intensity of the modulation can itself be modulated:the via parameter defines a further
modulation source, which is used to control the modulation intensity. When via is active,
you can specify upper and lower limits for the modulation intensity.
Ten such modulation routings of source, via, and target can take place simultaneously. It
doesn’t matter which of the ten modulation routings you use. You can even select the same
target in several parallel modulation routings. You can also use the same sources and the
same via controllers in multiple modulation routings.
