The ‘ES-2 Offset’ control is used only in ‘ES-2 Decoder’ mode - see below.

The ‘Smooth’ control has the same effect as that in the DC plug-in (see

above

).

Setup - with ES-2

In contrast to the usage with a VCA described above, using the CV Input plug-in with an
ES-2 module does not require an instance of the plug-in in Generator mode. Both channels
of the plug-in should be placed in ‘ES-2 Decoder’ mode.

Hardware setup is also much simpler. The CV of interest is connected to one of the ES-2’s
inputs, and the corresponding output of the ES-2 is connected to an input of your com-
puter’s audio interface. That audio input should then be routed directly into the CV Input
plug-in.

The only required setup is to adjust the ‘ES-2 Offset’ control. This should be adjusted so
that a zero CV entering the ES-2 generates a zero CV on the output of the plug-in. Note
that a zero CV is not the same as simply leaving the ES-2’s input unconnected - you actu-
ally need to patch the input to a source of 0V (e.g. a mixer with all the inputs turned down,
or a gate signal in the ‘off’ state).

In this mode, the ‘Bipolar’ button has no effect - the ES-2 module always handles bipolar
signals.

The ‘Scale’ knob still applies a simple scaling of the outgoing CV, and the ‘Smooth’ knob
works as usual.
