EHAVIOR
When in Gate Mode, the four rotaries are used to adjust gate settings for the currently selected
channel (or channels).
• Rotary 1 = Threshold
• Rotary 2 = Attack Time
• Rotary 3 = Release Time
• Rotary 4 = Gain Reduction
Rotaries act like traditional knobs; the minimum value is at 7 o’clock and the maximum value is at
5 o’clock. Move the rotary clockwise to increase the current parameter’s value; move the rotary
counterclockwise to decrease.

EHAVIOR
The channel select buttons are used to select the gate that is currently being edited by the rotary
controls.
• Each input channel and the main output bus has its own gate, so any of the channel select
buttons may be used.
The LED color of the channel select buttons is used to display the currently selected gate (or gates).
• Green = currently selected
• Red = not selected
When selected, the rotaries will update to display the selected channel’s compressor settings.

UNCTIONALITY
In Gate Mode, the [SHIFT] button is only used for muting and soloing channels via the faders, just like in
Mains Mode. There are no extra parameters to access via the rotaries.
