EFFECT
On the ES-1mk
II
, you can select and use one of eleven types of
effect for each pattern. The effect can be turned on/off for each
part by using the Effect key in the Part Edit section. Use the two
knobs (EDIT 1, EDIT 2) to adjust the parameters, which will dif-
fer depending on the selected type of effect.
Although the ef fect can be turned on/of f independently for
each part, the type and parameter values cannot be changed
independently .
MOTION SEQ (motion sequence)
This is the motion sequence for the effect (☞p.41 “Motion se-
quence”). Each time you press the key, this will alternate between
on (lit) and off (dark).
Effect types and parameters
REVERB
This simulates the reverberation and acoustics of a plate reverb
unit.
EDIT 1 _ Time 0...127
The reverb time will lengthen as the knob is rotated toward
the right.
EDIT 2 _ Level 0...127
The level of the reverberation will increase as the knob is ro-
tated toward the right.
FLG./CHO. (flanger/chorus)
Flanger and chorus are effects that modulate the pitch of a
slightly time-delayed copy of the sound and add it to the origi-
nal sound to create a sense of spaciousness, modulation, and
vibrato.
EDIT 1 _ LFO Rate 0...127
Adjusts the LFO speed of the flanger/chorus.
The LFO speed will become faster as the knob is rotated to-
ward the right.
EDIT 2 _ Depth 0...127
Adjusts the depth of the flanger/chorus effect. The effect will
change from chorus to flanger as the knob is rotated toward
the right.
Raising the depth excessively may cause the sound to
distort.
PHASER
This effect adds modulation to the sound by mixing a cyclically
phase-shifted sound with the original sound.
EDIT 1 _ LFO Rate 0...127
Adjusts the LFO speed of the phaser. The LFO speed will
become faster as the knob is rotated toward the right.
EDIT 2 _ Depth 0...127
Adjusts the depth of the phaser. The modulation will become
greater as the knob is rotated toward the right.
PITCH/SPEED –64...63
This specifies the playback pitch of the sample. Raising the pitch
will speed up the playback, and lowering it will slow down the
playback. The pitch can be adjusted over a range of +/–2 octaves,
and will change in the following way.

–64 –2 octaves C1
For the Audio In part, this will function as a gate time (duration of
the sound) synchronized to the tempo.
FILTER 0...127
Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter. Rotating this
toward the left will cut the overtones that are higher than the cut-
off frequency, producing a milder tone.
PAN L64...R63
Adjusts the stereo position (panpot) of the sound. When the knob
is located at the center, the sound is panned to the center. Rotating
the knob toward the left will move the sound toward the left, and
rotating it toward the right will move the sound toward the right.
LEVEL 0...127
Adjusts the output level. Rotating the knob toward the right will
increase the level.
For the Accent part, this adjusts the accent level (the degree to
which the volume is emphasized when the accent is on). (☞p.40
“Adding accents to the rhythm pattern”)
MOTION SEQ (motion sequence)
This records and plays back knob movements. Each time you press
this key, it will alternate between on (SMOOTH lit), on (TRIG
HOLD lit), and off (dark). (☞p.41 “Playing motion sequences”)
