ES2 Vector Envelope solo and sustain in MainStage

The Solo Point button turns the Vector Envelope on or off. If enabled, no dynamic modulations are generated by the Vector Envelope. In this scenario, the currently visible pointer positions of the Triangle and Planar Pad are permanently in effect. These pointer positions match the currently selected Vector Envelope point.

If you select another Vector Envelope point by clicking it, the pointer positions in the Triangle and Planar Pad update to reflect your selection. If the Solo Point button is on, the newly selected point becomes the Solo point.

Note: You can independently turn off Vector Envelope modulation of the Planar Pad by setting Vector Mode to off. See Use the ES2 Vector Envelope.

Any point can be declared the Sustain point. Assuming that the played note is held long enough and no loop is engaged, any envelope movement stops when this Sustain point is reached. The Sustain point value is maintained until the key is released—until the MIDI note-off command.

Define a Vector Envelope point as the Sustain point

In MainStage, click in the turquoise strip above the chosen point.
The Sustain point is indicated by an S between the point and its number shown on the turquoise strip.
