Analog Modeling Synthesizer for Logic
The ES1 was Emagic’s first native virtual instrument and since it’s release, in
1999, it has become the staple analog modeling synthesizer for Logic users
seeking the classic sounds of vintage subtractive synthesizers. Emagic’s
Synthesizer One features all of the essential elements that have given analog
synthesizers such a lasting presence in modern music production – rich
sounding oscillators, fat filters, flexible modulation possibilities and extremely
fast envelopes. Playback timing for the ES1, as with all other virtual synths, is
sample-accurate and the 32-bit sound engine ensures exceptional sound
quality. The ES1 integrates seamlessly into Logic’s digital mixing environment
where it can be further processed by adding plug-ins. And what’s more, every
parameter can be fully automated. Includes dozens of preset instruments from
bone rattling basses to lush pads and from scorching leads to exotic effects and
percussion – all easily accessible using Logic’s hierarchal menu system.
The main and sub oscillators
are blended before being fed
to the filter section
Classic ADSR envelope
reacts with microsecond
accuracy.
Low Pass Filter has four selectable slopes (12dB/18dB/24dB
classic/24dB fat) and features variable drive(distortion) cutoff,
key follow and resonance up to self-oscillation. The cutoff can
be controlled via the ADSR or via your keyboard
Switchable chorus effect adds
spaciousness and dimension
to patches
The modulation
router allows you
to assign a target
for the LFO and
modulation
envelope
The Mod Envelope allows you to
assert velocity sensitive decay or
attack attributes to a wide
range of targets like filter cutoff,
oscillator mix, pitch and more
The LFO’s rate can be set to run freely or
synchronized to your session’s tempo.
The LFO features a choice of Triangle,
positive and negative Saw,Square,
Sample and Hold and Smooth Random
waveforms. You can also assign an exter-
nal source as a modulator of the LFO.
The Analog parameter
randomly adjusts the
pitch and filters cutoff
frequency for each
note to replicate the
character of classic
polyphonic synths
The octave range for
the main oscillator is
selectable from 2 to
32 feet.
The sub-oscillator fol-
lows the pitch of the
main oscillator with a
choice of 5 waveforms
as well as noise. You
can also assign an
external audio source
to the sub-oscillator
Glide controls the
portamento control
This double slider provides
control over minimum and
maximum velocity values
Each instrument uses a single
oscillator with a choice of
Triangle, Sawtooth and Pulse
waveforms.
The main and sub oscillators
are blended before being fed
to the filter section
AGateR lets you control
Attack via the ADSR and
Release via note-off.
ADSR controls volume via
the ADSR
GateR – same as above
except that Attack is always
zero
Choose up to 16 note
polyphony for each instru-
ment plus legato mode
