Turn the Vector Envelope on or off
• In Logic Pro, turn off the Solo Point button to make the Vector Envelope active.
• Turn on the Solo Point button to deactivate the Vector Envelope.
When Solo Point is turned on, only the currently selected Triangle and Planar Pad
positions of the currently selected point are active.
Control the Planar Pad and Triangle with the Vector Envelope
In Logic Pro, the Vector Mode pop-up menu is used to set a Vector Envelope target.
• Choose the Vector Envelope target—the Planar Pad, Triangle, or both.
• Off: The Vector Envelope does not control the Triangle or the Planar Pad. It is
completely turned off. You can manually set and control the pointers of the Triangle
and the Planar Pad.
• Mix: The Vector Envelope controls the Triangle but not the Planar Pad.
• XY: The Vector Envelope controls the Planar Pad but not the Triangle.
• Mix+XY: The Vector Envelope controls both the Planar Pad and the Triangle.
Use the Vector Envelope shortcut menu
1. In Logic Pro, Control-click anywhere in the Vector Envelope to open a shortcut menu of
commands and functions.
2. Choose any item in the menu to perform the operation.
Vector Envelope points, times, and loops
Use Logic Pro ES2 Vector Envelope points
The Vector Envelope time axis runs from left to right.
Up to 16 points can be displayed on the time axis (10 are shown in the figure above). Each
point can control the pointer positions of the Triangle and the Planar Pad.
The points are numbered sequentially, from left to right, along the time axis.
There are always at least three points:point 1 is the start point, point 2 is defined as the
Sustain point, and point 3 is the end point.
Any point can be declared the Sustain point. If a played note is held for a sufficient length
of time and no loop is engaged, any envelope movement stops when the Sustain point is
reached. The Sustain point value is maintained until the key is released—until the MIDI
note-off command.
