INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing Ekssperimental Sounds ES01 Analog Synthesizer. The ES01 incorporates advanced synthesizer technology and features developed for the Reason rack environment with the added convenience and versatility of a powerful Touch Data Programmer for advanced internal routing and customization. We urge you to read this user guide thoroughly in order to make the most of your ES01 Analog Synthesizer.
BASIC SETTINGS Power/Volume This control serves the multi function of power switch, volume control and note indicator. If rotated clockwise the unit is turned ON and the indicator LED is lit. Volume increases as the control is rotated towards the “10” at the end of its scale.

The Voltage Controlled Oscillator is the basic sound generator of the ES01. The pitch of its signal is determined by the input of CV and MIDI message from your keyboard or sequencer. Feet Selector Glissando This selector determines the ground Creates a glissando between notes played.

The Voltage Controlled Filter alters the sound by cutting off frequencies. Voltage Controlled Amplifier Freq Cut Off 12dB/oct Setting the VCF to the “H” end allows upper harmonics to pass, thereby creating a bright tonality. Moving the control towards the “L”...
ENVELOPE GENERATOR The EG block contains the ES01 envelope generator controls. Attack Time This controls the time for the sound to reach maximum level when a note is played. Decay Time Controls how long it take for the sound the decrease to sustain after the maximum level has been reached.
MODULATION There are many ways to modulate the sound within the ES01, either by LFO, PWM, Mod Matrix or CV input. Square wave LFO (Low frequency oscillator) CV (Control Voltage) The LFO is prerouted to the Mod The CV jacks on the backside can Wheel which has a three way be used for modulation and is switch allowing you to send the...
TOUCH DATA PROGRAMMER MODULATION MATRIX MOD 1 & MOD 2 The modulation matrix provides a total of 16 slots divided on two pages, MOD1 & MOD2. As an example try selecting “LFO Unipolar” as the source, dial in -79 as the amount and select FEET as the destination.
TOUCH DATA PROGRAMMER GLOBAL SETTINGS VOICES MOD WHEEL ES01 can be set to Mono Retrig Original Range limits the filter to The range of the Mod Wheel can be (Default), Mono Legato and a fine tuned range. The Extended set to Original or Extended Depth. Polyphonic (16 voices) mode.

TOUCH DATA PROGRAMMER Mod Functions Sources & Destinations Most of the options have a clear Bipolar (default) generating both link to the controls on the panel negative and positive values based or an obvious function. Here are on the LFO waveform. (Fig.1a) a brief explanation of the more special ones: Unipolar shifts the base of the...
