ES1 envelope parameters in Logic Pro for iPad
ES1 provides an attack, decay, sustain, and release (ADSR) envelope that can shape filter cutoff and the level of the sound over time. See ES1 filter parameters and ES1 amp and output controls.
A second, simpler envelope is also available for control of modulation parameters. See Use the ES1 modulation envelope.
Envelope parameters
Attack slider: Set the time it takes for the envelope to reach the initial desired level.
Decay slider: Set the time it takes for the envelope to fall to the sustain level, following the initial attack time.
Sustain slider: Set the sustain level, which is held until the key is released.
Release slider: Set the time it takes the envelope to fall from the sustain level to zero.
Control your sound level over time
The envelope generator controls the sound level over the course of a note duration. The modulation intensity and response to velocity information is set with the Vel Min/Max sliders in the Amp section.
In the Logic Pro ES1 Amp section, set the minimum and maximum amount of modulation with the Vel Min/Max sliders and fields.
The difference between the Vel Min/Max sliders indicates the dynamic range of this modulation.
Set the ADSR sliders to the values you want to use, and adjust the Vel Min/Max sliders as needed.
Modulate filter cutoff with the ADSR envelope
The envelope generator modulates the filter cutoff frequency over the course of a note duration. The modulation intensity and response to velocity information is set with the ADSR Vel Min/Max sliders in the Filter section.
In the Logic Pro ES1 Filter section, set the minimum and maximum amount of modulation with the ADSR Vel Min/Max sliders and fields.
The difference between the ADSR Vel Min/Max sliders indicates the dynamic range of this modulation.
Set the ADSR sliders to the values you want to use, and adjust the ADSR Vel Min/Max sliders as needed.
Tip: If you’re unfamiliar with these parameters, set the Cutoff parameter to a low value, Resonance to a high value, and move both ADSR Vel Min/Max sliders upward. Constantly strike a note on the keyboard while changing the sliders to learn how these parameters work.
