Hi there!
I've been trying to educate myself further on the use of synthesis using a workbook (Simon Cann's Synthesizer Wizard) as in conjunction with using Logic's ES2 Synth. I'm using a Mac and the book suggests downloading the Zebra 2 but I don't have £200 to spend on it and I'd rather try and learn using a synthesizer I actually intend to use.
The book talks about using Keytracking slider as well as a 'Cutoff Frequency Envelope' and 'Volume Envelope'. These things aren't clearly defined on Logic's ES2. Given that it is still a pretty decent synth, I'm of the understanding you can setup these parameters in Modulation Router.
So what I'd like to know is how would I go about having a Key Tracking Slider, a Cutoff Frequency slider (with ADSR setup for frequency), and a Cutoff Envelope Slider (with ADSR setup for amplitude/volume) in the ES2? Or is this simply not possible on the ES2?
It seems to me the way to do it would be to setup Cutoff 1 with the Source Env2, Amp with the Source to Env 3 (Let me know if I'm wrong here!) Then Cutoff 2 with the Source as Keybrd to have a slider for Key Tracking. (Again, let me know if I'm wrong!)
With those parameters put in place I could have Cutoff 2 on the ES2 as a Key Tracking Filter, Cutoff 1 as a Cutoff Frequency Slider with Envelope 2 acting as the ADSR for Frequency and the slider on the Modulation Router for the Amp-Env3 could act as the Cutoff Envelope slider.
Does that sound like the best way to do it? Or have I got that completely wrong? Haha
