Specify a Vector Envelope loop count
• In Logic Pro, set the Vector Envelope loop cycle to repeat a specified number of times.
Following the defined repetitions, the Vector Envelope runs from the Sustain point
onward. Possible values are 1 to 10 and “infinite.”
Logic Pro ES2 Vector Envelope release phase
Set one of two release phase options in the Env Mode menu:Normal or Finish.
In Normal mode, the release phase—the phase after the Sustain point—begins as soon as
you release the key (note off). In other words, the release phase starts from the Vector
Envelope point where you released the key. The following behaviors apply:
• If looping is turned off and the Vector Envelope reaches the Sustain point, the Sustain
point value is retained for as long as you hold a key.
• If looping is turned on and the Loop point is positioned before the Sustain point, the
loop cycles for as long as you hold a key.
• If looping is turned on and the Loop point is positioned after the Sustain point, the
Vector Envelope loop continues to cycle until the overall release phase of the sound, as
determined by the ENV3 Release parameter, has completed.
If the Env Mode menu is set to Finish, the Vector Envelope does not immediately begin the
release phase when you release the key. Rather, it plays all points for their full duration
until the end point is reached, regardless of whether you hold the key or release it. The
following behaviors apply:
• If looping is turned off, the Sustain point is ignored. The Vector Envelope completes all
points up to the end point, regardless of whether you hold the key or release it.
• If looping is turned on, the Vector Envelope plays all points until it reaches the Loop
point, and then plays loop until the end point is reached. It does not matter if the Loop
point is positioned before or after the Sustain point.
• If looping is turned on, and Loop Count is set to a value other than “infinite,” the Vector
Envelope continues on to the subsequent points—following completion of the specified
number of loop repetitions. If Loop Count is set to “infinite,” the points after the loop are
irrelevant.
Logic Pro ES2 Vector Envelope point transitions
Drag vertically in the Curve field to define the shape of transitions from point to point.
Choose from nine convex and nine concave shapes. You can also choose “hold+step” and
“step+hold,” which allow stepped modulations.
• step+hold: This curve jumps at the beginning of the transition.
• hold+step: This curve jumps at the end of the transition.
Note: You can use “hold+step” to create stepped vector grooves—with up to 15 steps.
