ES2 Vector Envelope in Logic Pro for iPad
The Vector Envelope is a multipoint, loop-capable modulation source. It provides real-time control of gray dot movements in the Oscillator Mix pad and the Mod Pad.
Each played voice has an independent Vector Envelope, which is triggered from its start point with every new keystrike (MIDI note-on message).
Conceptually, the Vector Envelope—and Mod Pad and Oscillator Mix pad—may be difficult to grasp, but some experimentation reveals how easy these features are to use. Combine these facilities with other synthesis options to create truly unique sounds that are—quite literally—moving.
Tap the Mod Sources button to view and adjust these ES2 parameters.
Turn the Vector Envelope on or off
In Logic Pro, turn off the Point Solo button to make the Vector Envelope active.
Turn on the Point Solo button to deactivate the Vector Envelope.
When Point Solo is turned on, the Oscillator Mix pad and Mod Pad positions for the currently selected point (the solo point) are active.
Choose the Vector Envelope mode
In Logic Pro, the Vector Mode buttons determine the Vector Envelope target.
Choose the Vector Envelope target—the Mod Pad, Oscillator Mix pad, or both.
Off: The Vector Envelope does not control the Oscillator Mix pad or the Mod Pad.
Mix: The Vector Envelope controls the Oscillator Mix pad but not the Mod Pad.
XY: The Vector Envelope controls the Mod Pad but not the Oscillator Mix pad.
Mix+XY: The Vector Envelope controls both the Mod Pad and the Oscillator Mix pad.
