Lesson transcript
Introduction to ESP
Let's take a look at ESP. As you can see, ESP is the polyphonic synth that we have available.
User-Friendly Interface
The interface is super simple, particularly in comparison to other synthesizers.
Features
- Eight Voices: ESP is an eight-voice poly synth, reminiscent of the 1980s.
- Versatility: It's a very versatile instrument, capable of producing a wide variety of sounds.
- Sound Quality: For instance, synth brass sounds sound really good on this.
Sound Production
ESP uses subtractive synthesis to create its sounds.
Example
If you were to take any of these sounds, let's say poly synth as an example, and we played a chord, you can hear already that it has that classic sound.
Conclusion
It's a great one to explore because the controls are so simple. You can really get a lot out of this with very little effort. Your understanding of synthesis can increase quite a lot when you use something like ESP.
