ES2 modulation source reference
The following modulation sources are available:
Source Comment
LFO1
LFO 1 is used as a source.
LFO2 LFO 2 is used as a source.
ENV1 Envelope Generator 1 is used as a source.
ENV2 Envelope Generator 2 is used as a source.
ENV3 Envelope Generator 3 is used as a source. Envelope
Generator 3 always controls the level of the overall
sound.
Pad-X, Pad-Y Dene the axes of the Planar Pad as modulation
sources for the selected modulation target. See
Use the Planar Pad
on page 76 and Use the Vector
Envelope
on page 69.
Max Max sets the value of this source to +1. This oers
interesting options for controlling the modulation
intensity with all possible via values.
Kybd Kybd (Keyboard) outputs the keyboard position (the
MIDI note number). The center point is C3 (an output
value of 0). Five octaves below and above, an output
value of −1 or +1, respectively, is sent. Modulate the
Cut 1+2 target with the Kybd source to control the
cuto frequencies of the lters with the keyboard
position—as you play up and down the keyboard,
the cuto frequencies change. A modulation intensity
of 0.5 proportionately scales cuto frequencies with
keyboard note pitches.
Velo Velocity sensitivity serves as a modulation source.
Bender The pitch bend wheel serves as a bipolar modulation
source. This is also true when the Bend Range
parameter of the oscillators is set to 0.
ModWhl The modulation wheel serves as a modulation source.
For most standard applications, you’ll probably use
the wheel as the via controller. Traditionally, it is used
to control the intensity of periodic LFO modulations.
Used here, it can be employed for direct, static
modulations, such as controlling both lter cuto
frequencies (Target = Cut 1+2).
Touch Aftertouch serves as a modulation source. ES2 reacts
to poly pressure (polyphonic aftertouch). If you set
the Target to Cut 1+2, the cuto frequencies rise and
fall, depending on how rmly you press a key on
your touch-sensitive MIDI keyboard—after the initial
keystrike.
Whl+To Both the modulation wheel and aftertouch serve as
modulation sources.
MIDI Controllers A-F MIDI controllers available in the router are named
Ctrl A–F and can be assigned to arbitrary controller
numbers. See ES2 macro and controller assignment
