SC Gain
button: Enables/disables the side-chain input. The side-chain circuitry allows you
to feed the compressor’s detector with another control signal instead of the input signal itself
(see
1.1.2, Other Compression Parameters and Features
(8)
SC Gain
knob: Controls the input gain of the side-chain signal — a signal that can be used
as an alternative control source for the compressor.
(9)
Detector HP
knob: Applies a high-pass filter to the control signal that is sent to the com-
pressor’s detector. When this knob is set fully counter-clockwise (
off
), no filtering is applied.
Turning the knob clockwise progressively excludes low frequencies from the control signal sent
to the detector.
The
Detector HP
knob in no way affects the amount of compression applied. Instead, it al-
lows you to select a narrower frequency band in the control signal that will be used by the
detector, be it the input signal itself (
SC Gain
off) or another control signal (
SC Gain
on).
