screen.
Threshold – Sets the level of the trigger source above
which the channel will be ducked. The meter shows
the trigger level together with threshold pointer and
ducking activity (gain reduction).
Depth – Sets how much the channel signal will be
ducked. From 0dB (no ducking) to 60dB (full ducking).
Three controls set the speed at which ducking occurs.
Attack – Sets how fast the channel signal is ducked to
the level set by the Depth control. Variable 20ms to
600ms.
Hold – Sets how long the channel signal is held at the
Depth level after the trigger signal is removed. Variable
40ms to 10s.
Release – Sets how fast the channel signal rises back
to its normal level at the end of the Hold period.
Variable 250ms to 5s.
Ducker settings are not part of the channel libraries
or the Copy/Paste/Reset function.
Stereo Linking
Odd/even pairs of mono input channels can be linked
for stereo operation.
Even/odd channel pairs cannot be linked.
The default is all parameters including the preamp,
processing and routing linked. Pan becomes a width
control when linked. Panning one channel in a linked
pair to the left automatically pans the other to the right
by the same amount.
Some parameters can be removed from the link using
the buttons:
Preamp – Gain/Pad/48V, Polarity
Dynamics (Compressor and Gate) - Side Chains
Main mix – Fader/Mute, Pan
