292 Chapter 21 ES2
As an alternative to this real-time control, the position of the cursor can be modulated
by the vector envelope—just like the mix between the three oscillators in the Triangle.
The Loop function of the vector envelope generator allows for cyclic movements. This
opens a number of doors, allowing it to operate as a two-dimensional, luxurious
pseudo-LFO with a programmable waveform. More on this is found in “The Vector
Envelope” on page 293.
Vector Mode Menu
The Vector Mode menu below the vector envelope button allows you to disable the
control of the Square cursor by the vector envelope. The menu also defines whether or
not the Triangle (the oscillator mixer) shall be controlled by the vector envelope.
 Off: The vector envelope does not influence the Triangle or the Square. It’s simply
switched off. This allows you to set and control the cursors of the Triangle and the
Square in real-time.
 Mix: The vector envelope controls the Triangle (the oscillator mix), but not the
Square.
 XY: The vector envelope controls the Square, but not the Triangle.
 Mix+XY: The vector envelope controls both the Square and Triangle.
Note: Like all of the ES2’s parameters, the movements of the cursors in the Triangle and
Square can be recorded and automated by Logic Pro. This automation data can be
edited and looped in Logic Pro. This is completely independent of the cyclic
modulations of the vector envelope. Vector modulation of the Square and Triangle
should be disabled for this type of use (Vector mode = off).
Vector Target—Modulation Destinations
The Vector X and Vector Y target menus determine the effect of cursor movements in
the Square. The modulation targets are identical to those available in the Router. Please
see “Modulation Targets” on page 273 for descriptions. The position of the cursor in the
Square is also available in the Router, as the Pad-X and Pad-Y Source and via options.
Vector Int—The Modulation Intensity
The maximum intensity, sensitivity, and polarity of the modulation is set with the
Vector X Int and Vector Y Int parameters.
