ES2 Chorus, Flanger, or Phaser effect parameters
• When Chorus is on:
• Intensity knob: Set the depth of the effect—how rich the modulation is. Turn this
knob to zero to turn off the effect.
• Speed knob: Set the modulation rate.
• When Flanger is on:
• Intensity knob: Rotate to set the depth of the effect—how “cutting” the modulation
is. Turn this knob to zero to turn off the effect.
• Speed knob: Rotate to set the modulation rate.
• When Phaser is on:
• Intensity knob: Rotate to set the depth of the “sweeping” effect—the width of the
modulation. Turn this knob to zero to turn off the effect.
• Speed knob: Rotate to set the modulation rate.
ES2 macro controls and controller assignments
MainStage ES2 macros and controllers overview
The section at the bottom of the ES2interface provides three views:
• Macro button: Show a number of macro controls that affect groups of other parameters.
• MIDI button: Assign MIDI controllers to particular modulation routings. See MainStage
ES2 via modulation source reference.
• Macro only button: Replace the ES2interface with a smaller view that is limited to the
macro controls.
Use MainStage ES2 macro controls
The macro knobs provide quick access to several linked, related parameters.
When you rotate any of the macro controls, one or more parameters in the ES2interface
update. For example, adjusting the Detune macro control simultaneously affects the Analog
parameter and the coarse and fine oscillator Frequency parameters.
