Using the ES E Filter

The ES E includes a lowpass filter that lets you contour the output from the oscillator.

Figure. Filter parameters.
  • Cutoff knob: Controls the cutoff frequency of the ES E filter.
  • Resonance knob: Boosts or cuts portions of the signal that surround the frequency defined by the Cutoff parameter.

    Note: Increasing the Resonance value results in a rejection of bass (low frequency energy) when using lowpass filters.

  • AR Int knob: The ES E features one simple envelope generator per voice-offering an Attack and a Release parameter (see Using the ES E Envelope). The AR Int knob defines the amount (depth) of cutoff frequency modulation applied by the envelope generator.
  • Velo Filter knob: Sets the velocity sensitivity of the cutoff frequency modulation applied by the envelope generator.

    Note: This parameter has no effect if AR Int is set to 0.
