DYNAMICS
Every channel, main, group, aux and track has two dynamics processing modules available to it: Dynamics 1
includes a compressor/limiter and an expander/gate which act in parallel and can be used simultaneously,
Dynamics 2 is a compressor/limiter. Dynamics 1 and 2 modules act in series on the associated path.
Dynamics controls can be accessed from either the touch display or the surface control cells:
• With the touch display in ‘active Show’ view, tap the Dynamics 1 or Dynamics 2 processing tabs to access the
relevant module controls.
• From the surface, push the ACCESS control mode button to populate the control cells with dynamics and EQ
controls for the currently accessed path. On a Summa 12+8 surface the control cells on the far left allow you to
switch between viewing dynamics and EQ controls. On the two larger surfaces, both sets of controls are always
displayed. The dynamics controls are shown here:
