Composing with the ES2

So I've got a musical example here that has a couple of instances of ES2, so you…can get a sense of how it actually works in context.…So I have got the drum tracks up top-- those are just audio files--and everything…else is generated by ES2.…So let's listen to it and then I will talk you through the sounds.…(music playing)…Cool! So let me show you the first sound here.…

We've got this one that's called Subby ES2. …So I will open up the instrument for that, and kind of move it out of the way so…you can see the MIDI. So here we go!…So this is this low, deep pulsing sound.…So it sounds really cool, but it's actually a very, very, very simple patch.…Let me show you what's going on with it.…So if I just play a note on the keyboard, you can hear it has this pulse.…My oscillators are just set to two different sine waves, and then I have got the…blend between them split basically 50-50.…

So what's creating the movement in the sound is actually the detuning between…Oscillators 1 and 2.…Notice that Oscillator 1 is -6 cents and then Oscillator 2 is +7.…
