Chapter 3 ES2 91
ES2 Surround mode
In surround ES2 instances, two additional parameters are shown in the slide out
Extended Parameters section at the bottom of the plug-in window: Surround Range and
Surround Diversity.
Surround parameters
•
Surround Range: Determines the range of the surround angle (0 to 360 degrees). Put another
way, this sets the breadth of the surround eld. You can modulate the movement of sounds
within the surround range by using the Pan target in the router.
•
Surround Diversity: Determines how the output signal is distributed across your surround
speakers. If you choose a value of 0, only the speakers that are closest to the original signal’s
position carry the signal. A diversity value of 1 distributes an identical amount of signal to all
speakers. You can modulate the distribution of signals between speakers with the Diversity
target in the router.
ES2 extended parameters
ES2 provides additional parameters that can be accessed by clicking the disclosure triangle at
the lower left of the interface.
Extended parameters
•
MIDI Mono Mode pop-up menu: Choose O, On (with common base channel 1), or On (with
common base channel 16).
In either mode, each voice receives on a dierent MIDI channel. Controllers and MIDI messages
sent on the base channel aect all voices.
•
Mono Mode Pitch Range pop-up menu: Choose 0, 24, or 48.
The chosen pitch bend range aects individual note pitch bend messages received on
all but the common base channel. The default is 48 semitones, which is compatible with
Mobile GarageBand's keyboard in pitch mode. When using a MIDI guitar, 24 semitones is the
preferable setting because most guitar to MIDI converters use this range by default.
