Chapter 7 ES P 136
Integrated ES P eects processor
ES P oers integrated stereo chorus and overdrive eects. These are based on similar eects
processors found in the aordable Japanese synthesizers of the 1980s—which the ES P emulates.
ES P eect parameters
•
Chorus knob: Rotate to set the intensity (depth) of the integrated chorus eect.
•
Overdrive knob: Rotate to set the overdrive/distortion level of the ES P output.
Important: To avoid hurting your ears or damaging your speakers, consider turning down the
Volume level before setting Overdrive to a high value; then turn it up gradually.
Extended ES P parameters
ES P oers three additional parameters that are accessed by clicking the disclosure triangle at the
lower left of the interface.
•
Pos. Bender Range: Move to set the positive—upward—pitch bend range in semitone steps.
This allows you to use the pitch bend controller of your keyboard to bend the ES P pitch.
•
Neg. Bender Range: The default Neg. Bender Range value is Pos PB (positive pitch bend). In
essence, this means that only positive pitch bend is available. Move to set the negative—
downward—pitch bend range in semitone steps, by up to 2 octaves (a value of 24).
•
Tune eld: Move to tune the instrument in cents. One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
