GATE THRESHOLD
Determines the Threshold for the Noise Gate in this band, with a Threshold value between -96 dB and
-25 dB. OFF disables the Gate Threshold.
GATE HOLD
This parameter sets the waiting time before the noise Gate release process starts.
GATE RELEASE
The GATE RELEASE parameter determines the time which the noise Gate requires to return to 1:1.
+
The GATE HOLD and RELEASE times can be set from 20 to 720 ms in 20 ms increments.
PEAK WIDTH
This parameter determines the Width of peaks to be ignored by the Gate. The valid time range for this setting
is 0 to 150 ms. This can be used to specifically suppress clicks.
EXCITER DRIVE
This parameter determines the Exciter Effect control for the three upper bands (4 to 6). The intensity of the
Exciter can be set using the Exciter process parameter in the <TUBE> and <IN/OUT> menus. This parameter
can be adjusted from 0 to 100.
COMPRESSOR THRESHOLD
The Threshold for the Compressor can be set from -70 dB to 0 dB. OFF disables the Compressor Threshold.
COMPRESSOR RATIO
The Compression Ratio can be set from 1:1 (no compression) to INF:0 (INF = infinite). INF:1 corresponds to
the action of a limiter.
COMP. ATT.
The Compressor Attack time is the time in which the Compressor regulates the signal to the set Ratio after the
Threshold has been exceeded.
COMP. REL.
The Compressor Release time is the time in which the Compressor returns the signal to 1:1 after the level has
dropped below the Threshold.
KNEE
The Knee parameter determines whether the compression should become effective abruptly (hard), or gently
and gradually before reaching the actual Threshold value (soft). A total of 36 increments are also available for
this parameter. Factory default is value 18.
2.5 Setup level 2
Hold the SETUP key for about 2 seconds to enter setup level 2. This level contains all of the global unit settings
such as memory management and the configuration of the MIDI interface. At this level, the LED above the
SETUP key remains continuously lit. Use the SETUP key to switch between the <GLOBAL SETUP> and
<MIDI SETUP> menus.
+
The setup level 2 settings are saved globally and do not affect the program memory.
