•
Oscillator section: The oscillator parameters are shown in the upper-left area of the
ES2 interface. The Triangle is used to set the mix relationships between the three oscillators.
See ES2 oscillator parameters overview on page 36.
•
Global parameters: A number of related global parameters that directly inuence the overall
output of the ES2, such as Tune, are found to the left of the oscillators, and above the amplier
and lter parameters. See Global parameters overview on page 46.
•
Filter section: The circular area houses the lter section, including the Drive and Filter
FM parameters. See ES2 lter overview on page 49.
•
Amplier parameters: The area at the top right contains the output parameters, where you
can set the overall volume of the ES2, and add a sine signal at the output stage. See Use ES2’s
dynamic stage on page 57.
•
Modulation router or Vector Envelope: The dark strip across the center of the ES2 interface is
shared by the modulation router and the Vector Envelope. Use the buttons at the right end of
this section to switch between the two.
•
The router links modulation sources, such as the envelopes and other parameters shown in
the lower portion of the interface, to modulation targets, such as the oscillators and lters.
See Use the modulation router on page 59.
•
The Vector Envelope is a exible, powerful envelope generator that provides extensive
control over your sound. See Use the Vector Envelope on page 69.
