ESE
Logic Pro ESE overview
The eight-voice ESE (ESEnsemble) synthesizer is ideal for quickly creating warm, rich pad
and ensemble sounds.
ESE produces sounds using subtractive synthesis. It features an oscillator that generates
harmonically rich waveforms. You subtract—cut, or filter out—portions of these waveforms
and reshape them to create new sounds.
If you’re new to synthesizers, see Synthesizer basics overview, which will introduce you
to the terminology and give you an overview of different synthesis methods and how they
work.
ES E is divided into several areas.
Oscillator parameters: The oscillator Wave and Octave parameters are shown in the area
to the left. The oscillator generates the waveforms that form the basis of your sound.
See Logic Pro ESE oscillator parameters.
LFO parameters: The LFO parameters (below the Wave knob) are used to modulate the
sound. See Logic Pro ESE LFO parameters.
Filter parameters: The section to the right of the oscillator parameters includes the
Cutoff (frequency) and Resonance knobs. You use the filter to contour the waveforms
sent from the oscillator. See Logic Pro ESE filter parameters.
