Chapter 20 ES1 247
Tune
Tune sets the pitch of the ES1.
Analog
Analog slightly alters the pitch of each note, and the cutoff frequency, in a random
manner. Similar to polyphonic analog synthesizers, Analog values higher than zero
allow the oscillators of all triggered voices to cycle freely. Note that if Analog is set to a
value of zero, the oscillator cycle start points of all triggered voices are synchronized.
This may be useful for percussive sounds, when looking to achieve a sharper attack
characteristic. For a warm, analog type of sound, the Analog parameter should be set
to higher values, thereby allowing subtle variations for each triggered voice.
Bender Range
Bender Range selects the sensitivity of the pitch bender in semitones.
Out Level
Out Level is the master volume control for the ES1 synthesizer.
Voices
The number displayed is the maximum number of notes which can be played
simultaneously. Each ES1 instance offers a maximum of 16 voice polyphony. Fewer
played voices require less CPU power.
If you set Voices to legato, the ES1 will behave like a monophonic synthesizer with
single trigger and fingered portamento engaged. This means that if you play legato, a
portamento corresponding to the Glide setting will occur, but if you release each key
before you press a new one, there will be no portamento at all. The envelope will not
be triggered by the new note. This allows for pitch bending effects without touching
the pitch bender. Don’t forget to select a higher Glide value when using the Legato
setting.
Chorus
The ES1 offers classic stereo Chorus/Ensemble effects. There are four possible
settings: Off, C1, C2, and Ens.
Off deactivates the Chorus. C1 and C2 are typical Chorus effects. C2 is variation of C1
and is characterized by a stronger modulation. In comparison, the Ensemble effect (Ens)
employs a more complex modulation routing, creating a fuller and richer sound.
