ES1 in Logic Pro for iPad
ES1 emulates the circuits of analog synthesizers in a simple, streamlined interface.
ES1 produces sounds using subtractive synthesis. It provides an oscillator and sub-oscillator that generate harmonically rich waveforms. You subtract (cut, or filter out) portions of these waveforms and reshape them to create new sounds. The ES1 tone-generation system also provides flexible modulation options that make it easy to create punchy basses, atmospheric pads, biting leads, and sharp percussion.
If you’re new to synthesizers, see Intro to synthesizers, which will introduce you to the terminology and give you an overview of different synthesis systems and how they work.
To add ES1 to your project, choose it from the Instrument > Synthesizer submenu in an Instrument channel strip or the Plug-ins area. See Intro to plug-ins.
ES1 is divided into several main areas.
Oscillator parameters: The oscillators generate the basic waveforms that form the basis of your sound. See ES1 oscillator parameters.
Filter parameters: The filter is used to contour the waveforms sent from the oscillators. See ES1 filter parameters.
Amplifier and output parameters: The amplifier and output parameters allow you to fine-tune sound level behavior and to activate the in-built chorus. See ES1 amp and output controls.
Modulation parameters: The LFO, modulation envelope, and ADSR envelope are used to modulate the sound in a number of ways. See ES1 modulation parameters.
Global parameters: Global parameters are used to set glide, polyphony, bend, and keyboard response. See ES1 global parameters.
User Guide conventions
Logic Pro for iPad plug-ins have two primary views:
Tile view, which shows a few key parameters in the Plug-ins area
Details view, where you can access all plug-in parameters
Throughout the guide, parameters available in Tile view are indicated by .
