The output stage of the ES M offers the following parameters.<br />
Level parameters<br />
Envelope and output parameters<br />
••<br />
Decay knob: Rotate to set the decay time of the dynamic stage. The attack, release, and sustain<br />
times of the synthesizer are internally set to 0.<br />
••<br />
Velo knob: Rotate to determine the velocity sensitivity of the dynamic stage.<br />
••<br />
Vol knob: Rotate to set the ES M master output level.<br />
••<br />
Overdrive knob: Rotate to set the level of the integrated overdrive effect.<br />
Important: To avoid hurting your ears or damaging your speakers, consider turning down the<br />
Volume level before setting Overdrive to a high value; then turn it up gradually.<br />
Extended ES M parameters<br />
ES M offers three additional parameters that you access by clicking the disclosure triangle at the<br />
lower left of the interface.<br />
Extended parameters<br />
••<br />
Pos. Bender Range: Move to set the positive—upward—pitch bend range in semitone steps.<br />
This allows you to use the pitch bend controller of your keyboard to bend the ES M pitch.<br />
••<br />
Neg. Bender Range: The default Neg. Bender Range value is Pos PB (positive pitch bend). In<br />
essence, this means that only positive pitch bend is available. Move to set the negative—<br />
downward—pitch bend range in semitone steps, by up to 2 octaves (a value of 24).<br />
••<br />
Tune: Move to tune the instrument in cents. One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.<br />
