Use the Planar Pad
The Planar Pad has two axes—X (horizontal) and Y (vertical). Two user-dened 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.

Planar Pad
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 ES2 oscillator modulation targets on page 77, ES2 lter modulation targets, and Other 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 ES2 modulation source reference on page 83 and Control
ES2 modulation intensity with via sources on page 61.
The maximum intensity, sensitivity, and polarity of the modulation is set with the Vector X Int
and Vector Y Int parameters.
Set the modulation intensity
m Drag vertically in the Vector X and Y Int elds.
Use a negative value to invert the modulation polarity.
