Analog Pad
Analog Pad, which is based on the ES2, can generate warm analog synthesizer pad sounds that
are useful for a range of musical styles.
•
Volume slider: Sets the overall volume level of the instrument.
•
Modulation slider: Makes the sweeping movement of the pad faster or slower.
•
Character slider: Determines whether the sound is soft or sharp.
•
Cuto slider: Allows less sound through at low values and more at high values—damping the
sound or making it brighter.
•
Resonance slider: Emphasizes the frequency range around the point determined by the
Cuto parameter.
•
Cuto Envelope slider: Determines the strength of the sweeping movement.
•
Duration slider: Determines the duration of the sweeping movement.
•
Animation slider: Determines the envelope’s eect on the pad sound.
Analog Swirl
Analog Swirl, which is based on the ES2, can generate chorused, swirling analog synthesizer
pad sounds.
•
Volume slider: Sets the overall volume level of the instrument.
•
Modulation slider: Makes the sweeping movement of the pad faster or slower.
•
Cuto slider: Allows less sound through at low values and more at high values—damping the
sound or making it brighter.
•
Resonance slider: Emphasizes the frequency range around the point determined by the
Cuto parameter.
•
Attack slider: Makes the sound start faster or slower. A fast setting makes it sound like striking a
piano key, whereas a slow setting makes it sound like bowing a violin string.
•
Decay slider: Makes the harmonic, or bright, portion of the sound sustain for a longer time at
slow values. Faster values move to the Sustain level more quickly.
•
Sustain slider: Determines the level of the sound after the Attack or Decay phase
has completed.
•
Release slider: Determines the time it takes for notes to fade out after you let go of the keys on
your keyboard.
