Expander

Surface Controls (Expander)

DisplayDock

The following parameters are available for the expander:

·

DYN

 - on/off for 

all

 dynamics sections: compressor, expander, gate (and de-esser/automix). 

·

EXP

 - on/off for the expander.

·

THRS

 - threshold from -93dB to +27dB.

·

RATIO

 - ratio from 1:1 to 1:0.1.

Both 

DYN

 and 

EXP

 

must

 be enabled (red) for the expander to be active. This is best checked by looking

at DisplayDock (where you  can  see  the 

DYN

 button plus on/off  for  the  individual  sections:  COMP,  EXP,

GATE, etc.)
