RANGE
switch
The RANGE switch determines the amount of signal attenuation that occurs
during gating. The G400 provides for full signal muting (-80dB) or a more subtle
attenuation (-20dB).
2.10
RELEASE
control
RELEASE adjusts the speed at which the gates closes once the input signal level
has fallen below that set by the THRESHOLD control. Control range is 10mS to
4S.
Please note:
With instruments such as bass guitars, short RELEASE times can cause the gate
to chatter. If this occurs increase the release time.
2.11
LINK
switch
Pressing the LINK switch couples channels 1&2 and 3&4 for stereo operation.
Channels 1 and 3 become the masters, the controls on channels 2 and 4 are
disabled.
The side chain circuitry on the G400 uses true rms summing to ensure that the
signals in both the linked channels are used to control the gate.
