••
Modulation controls and parameters: The area immediately below the router is where you can
assign and adjust the modulation generator parameters (such as LFO and envelope controls).
See ES2 modulation overview on page 59.
••
Planar Pad: The square area at the top right is a two-dimensional controller known as the
Planar Pad. The Planar Pad facilitates the simultaneous manipulation of two assignable
parameters, and can be controlled with the mouse, another controller, or the Vector Envelope.
See Use the Planar Pad on page 77.
••
Effect section: The built-in effect-processing options are found to the right of the output
parameters. See ES2 integrated effects processor on page 88.
••
Macro and MIDI controller parameters: The area shown on the thin, gray strip at the bottom can
display either Macro parameters or MIDI controller assignments. The preassigned macro sound
parameters are perfect for quick tweaks to the ES2’s sound (and that of ES2-based GarageBand
instruments). You can reassign MIDI control numbers for these parameters. See ES2 macro and
controller assignment overview on page 90.
