The DYNAMATE's dynamic sound processing algorithm is based on a "multi-band" processing concept, splitting the
original full band signal into two "sub-bands". This results in a band of lower frequencies and a band of mid/high frequencies,
allowing the subsequent signal processing to be applied separately to each - the low frequencies (with their higher energy
content) and the mid/high frequencies. This dual band technique - along with the settings for the attack and release times
programmed for each preset - successfully prevents the bass from dominating the way in which the processing is applied
and prevents the pumping effect that used to be common with dynamic processors.

Once split into the two separate bands, DYNAMATE applies selective processing to each of the bands before re-combining
the bands and applying additional processing. The sound processing covers several forms including gain control, parametric
equalization, high- and low-pass frequency filtering and dynamic balancing of the music's energy levels (dynamic
companding). Companding is a combination of signal compression and expansion used extensively in pro audio recording,
production work, noise reduction and live performance applications. It's basically a variable gain device, where the amount
of gain used (which can be a positive or negative value) depends on the level of the dynamically changing input.
