ES01 Rack Extension - 1.1 Update

Published on May 15, 2019 Ekssperimental Sounds Studio

"ES01 just got updated with new features and loads of new patches!

1.1 Updates:
Added pulse width target in mod matrix for VCO and sub oscillator
Added rectangular and PWM waveforms to the sub oscillator
Added feet and pitch offset mod targets for the sub oscillator
Extended sub oscillator frequency range down to 8Hz
Added additional white noise generator available through the mixer
Added VCF lag trimmer to backside
Fixed sub oscillator phase to match VCO cycles for consistent timbres
EG times can now be modulated below their original range using negative values in the mod matrix
New default patch
Added over 100 new patches incorporating the new possibilities of 1.1

The ES01 is a faithful recreation of a beloved analog classic. While the hardware which the ES01 is based on was originally marketed as an entry-level synth, it is still a popular tool of many professional artists for its ease of use in getting great sounds, particularly leads and bass lines.

The ES01 is not a 1:1 emulation - it also has additional features like Sub Oscillator, Unison and last but not least, Polyphony. The Touch Data Programmer with its Global Settings and modulation matrix together with the CV connectivity of the Reason Rack gives ES01 massive tweaking possibilities. This all makes the ES01 unique and quite capable of producing many classic analog synth sounds like fat basses, vibrant pads, synthetic arpeggios and analog sounding leads that cut through the mix.

Ekssperience the sound of the past with the possibilities of the future with the ES01 Analog Synthesizer.

Available in the Propellerhead Shop.
