ES E envelope parameters<br />

The AR (Attack and Release) envelope affects both the filter cutoff (AR Int) and the level of the<br />

sound over time.<br />

Envelope parameters<br />

••<br />

Attack slider: Move to set the time it takes for the signal to reach the initial signal level, known<br />

as the sustain level.<br />

••<br />

Release slider: Move to set the time it takes for the signal to fall from the sustain level to a level<br />

of 0.<br />

ES E output parameters<br />

The ES E output stage consists of the Volume section and the Chorus/Ensemble buttons.<br />

Output Parameters<br />

••<br />

Volume knob: Rotate to set the overall output level.<br />

••<br />

Velo Volume knob: Rotate to set the amount (depth) of velocity sensitivity to incoming MIDI<br />

note events. When set to higher values, each note is louder, if struck more firmly. At lower<br />

values, the dynamic response is reduced, so that there is little difference when you play a note<br />

pianissimo (soft) or forte (loud/hard).<br />

••<br />

Chorus I, Chorus II, and Ensemble buttons: Turn these effect variations on or off. If no button is<br />

active, the effects processor is turned off.<br />

••<br />

Chorus I is a typical chorus effect.<br />

••<br />

Chorus II is characterized by a stronger modulation.<br />

••<br />

Ensemble has a fuller and richer sound, due to a more complex modulation routing.<br />
