ES2 modulation target reference<br />
ES2 oscillator modulation targets<br />
The table below shows all oscillator-related modulation targets.<br />
Target<br />
Pitch123<br />
Comments<br />
Modulates the frequencies (pitch) of all three<br />
oscillators. If you select an LFO as the source, this<br />
target leads to siren or vibrato sounds. Select one of<br />
the envelope generators with zero attack, short decay,<br />
zero sustain, and short release as the source for tom<br />
and kick drum sounds.<br />
Pitch 1 Modulates the frequency (pitch) of oscillator 1.<br />
Slight envelope modulations can make the amount<br />
of detuning change over time, when oscillator 1 is<br />
sounding in unison with another (unmodulated)<br />
oscillator. This also applies to the other Pitch targets<br />
and is particularly useful for synthesizer brass sounds.<br />
Pitch 2 Modulates the frequency (pitch) of oscillator 2.<br />
Pitch 3 Modulates the frequency (pitch) of oscillator 3.<br />
Detune<br />
Controls the amount of detuning between all three<br />
oscillators. The sensitivity of all pitch modulation<br />
targets is determined by the modulation intensity.<br />
This is scaled as per the lists below, allowing you<br />
to create very delicate vibrati in the cent range<br />
(1/100 semitone), and huge pitch jumps by octaves.<br />
••<br />
Modulation intensity from 0 to 8: steps are 1.25<br />
cents.<br />
••<br />
Modulation intensity from 8 to 20: steps are 3.33<br />
cents.<br />
••<br />
Modulation intensity from 20 to 28: steps are 6.25<br />
cents.<br />
••<br />
Modulation intensity from 28 to 36: steps are 12.5<br />
cents.<br />
••<br />
Modulation intensity from 36 to 76: steps are 25<br />
cents.<br />
••<br />
Modulation intensity from 76 to 100: steps are 100<br />
cents.<br />
This leads to the following rules of thumb for<br />
modulation intensity values.<br />
••<br />
Intensity of 8 equals a pitch shift of 10 cents.<br />
••<br />
Intensity of 20 equals a pitch shift of 50 cents (one<br />
quarter tone).<br />
••<br />
Intensity of 28 equals a pitch shift of 100 cents (one<br />
semitone).<br />
••<br />
Intensity of 36 equals a pitch shift of 200 cents (two<br />
semitones).<br />
••<br />
Intensity of 76 equals a pitch shift of 1,200 cents<br />
(one octave).<br />
••<br />
Intensity of 100 equals a pitch shift of 3,600 cents<br />
(three octaves).<br />
