Use the Logic Pro ES2 Planar Pad
The Planar Pad has two axes—X (horizontal) and Y (vertical). Two user-defined parameters
can be modulated with the X and Y values, allowing you to use the mouse like a joystick.
The X and Y axes have positive and negative value ranges. When you drag the pointer (the
square icon), the values of both axes are continuously transmitted.
The Vector X and Vector Y Target menus determine which parameter is modulated by
pointer movements in the Planar Pad. These modulation targets are identical to those in
the router. See Logic Pro ES2oscillator modulation targets, Logic Pro ES2 filter modulation
targets, and Other Logic Pro ES2 modulation targets.
The position (coordinates) of the Planar Pad pointer is also available in the router, as the
Pad-X and Pad-Y source and via options. See Logic Pro ES2 modulation source reference
and Control Logic Pro ES2 modulation intensity.
The maximum intensity, sensitivity, and polarity of the modulation is set with the Vector X
Int and Vector Y Int parameters.
Set the ES2 modulation intensity
In Logic Pro, drag vertically in the Vector X and Y Int fields.
Use a negative value to invert the modulation polarity.

Target Comments
Pitch123 Modulates the frequencies (pitch) of all three oscillators. If you select an
LFO as the source, this target leads to siren or vibrato sounds. Select one
of the envelope generators with zero attack, short decay, zero sustain,
and short release as the source for tom and kick drum sounds.
