[. . . ] Make sure both instruments have Controllers Enabled (MIDI Page); 2. Select Breath Controller as the External Controller that will be received by the ESQM (XCONTRL=02, also on the MIDI Page); 3. Assign XCTRL as a Modulator for Oscillator Volume, Filter Cutoff Frequency, or some other Manual level within a Program, as shown in the following Section. Now when you play, blowing into the Breath Controller will affect whatever Level(s) you assigned XCTRL to modulate. PRESS -- Pressure (After-touch) Pressure, also called After-touch, is recognoized by the ESQ-1, and can be Programmed as a modulator anywhere a modulator is selected. A Control on the MIDI Page enables Pressure to be received, as well as determining which type will be received -- Key or Channel Pressure. 33. ) If you will be driving the ESQ-1 from a synth which sends Pressure, you can assign Pressure as a Modulator within your ESQ-1 Programs, just as you would the MOD Wheel, or the CV Pedal. Just remember that for it to be received by the ESQ-1, the correct type of Pressure must be enabled on the MIDI Page. 49 Using Modulators ESQ-1 ­ Musician's Manual USING MODULATORS Following are some examples of ways in which modulators are used within the voice architecture of the ESQ-1. Modulating Oscillator Volume The Volume of each of the three Oscillators within a Program depends on a combination of two things: 1. the setting of the base, or Manual Level (the parameter "LEVEL=_" on the DCA1, DCA2 and DCA3 Pages), and 2. the effect of any Modulators applied on any of those Pages. The Manual, Level can be thought of as a Volume Floor : ----> If this Level is set to some value greater than Zero for a given DCA, and no Modulators are applied, The Oscillator will play at that level as long as a key is held down. If the Manual Level is set to some value greater than Zero, and a Modulator (in this case an Envelope) is selected and assigned a depth other than Zero, the effect of the Modulator will be added to (or subtracted from) the Manual Level. ----> If the Manual Level is set to Zero, and a Modulator (the same Envelope) is selected and assigned a depth other than Zero, the depth of the Modulator alone will determine the Volume of the Oscillator. 50 Using Modulators ESQ-1 ­ Musician's Manual Bear in mind that when you use an Envelope or an LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) as a Modulator, the final effect will depend on the Modulation Depth and the Levels that are set for the Envelope or LFO on their respective Pages. The Modulation amount can be positive or negative. MOD2 -- Modulator #2 Selects the second source of Modulation. The effects of Modulator #1 and Modulator #2 are added together. You can thus double the maximum Modulation depth of a given modulator by selecting the same source for Modulator #1 and Modulator #2. The Modulators selected on this page affect only the pitch of the Oscillator. MODAMT2 -- Modulator #2 Depth Sets the depth, or amount, by which Modulator #2 will affect the pitch of the Oscillator. The Modulation amount can be positive or negative. Range: -63 To + 63. 4. 5. 6. 7. 57 DCA (1-3) Page ESQ-1 ­ Musician's Manual [DCA1] OSCILLATOR VOLUME PAGE [DCA2] [DCA3] Controls The Volume of Oscillators 1 through 3. The format of the Oscillator Volume Page is the same for DCA1, DCA2 and DCA3, although each of these Pages is entirely independent. Each of these three DCA's (Digitally Controlled Amplifiers) controls the Volume (or amplitude) of the same-numbered Oscillator (OSC). The Parameters on this Page can be selected by pressing Scroll until the desired parameter is showing or by entering the Parameter Number immediately selecting the Page. Use these pages to: Set the Manual Output levels of the three Oscillators; Modulate those levels using any of the 15 available Modulation Sources; and Turn each Oscillator ON or OFF.
