Dynamic effects
Compressors are signal processors that reduce signals over a
user-defined threshold by a user-defined amount/ratio. Limiters
work just as Compressors do, with an infinity-to-1 ratio. A noise
Gate is a signal processor that turns off or significantly attenu
-
ates the audio signal passing through it when the signal level
falls below a user adjustable threshold. An Expander helps to
make troublesome background noise (such as humming) inau-
dible by reducing signals with low amplitudes. A De-noiser also
eliminates noise and interference. A De-esser will help to reduce
sibilance in the human voice.
Parameter What it does
Gain
Adjusts the input gain of the
compressor, limiter, expander
Ratio
Adjusts the compressor / expander ratio
Threshold
Adjusts the threshold of the gate,
compressor, expander effect
Knee
Adjusts the gate/compressor knee-
curve from sharp to smooth
Attack time
Adjusts the time it will take for the effect
to kick in after the signal rises above
the set threshold
Release time
Adjusts the time it will take for the effect
to deactivate after the signal falls below
the set threshold
Compressor
threshold
Adjusts the threshold of the
compressor/limiter effect
Limiter threshold
Adjusts the threshold at which the
limiter will kick in
Hold time
Adjusts the time the gate or de-noiser
will remain open/active
BPF
Adjusts the frequency which will be
decreased for the de-esser
Q Q factor
Psycho-acoustical effects
Parameter What it does
HPF
Adjusts the cut off frequency of the high
pass filter
Drive Adjusts the strength of the exciter effect
Harmonic
Activates harmonic amplification
dependent on the input level
Gain Allows for gain correction
Guitar Distortion effect
Guitar distortion is used for exactly what the name suggests: dis
-
torting guitar signals. You can hear guitar distortion in most of the
most popular rock songs going back decades.
Parameter What it does
Drive Adjusts the distortion level
Level Adjusts the volume
EQ low 1 Adjusts the low EQ
EQ low 2 Adjusts the low EQ
EQ high 1 Adjusts the high EQ
EQ high 2 Adjusts the high EQ
Filter/EQ effects
The Graphic EQ effect allows you to use the 4 Effect controls to
adjust 5 separate Equalization bands (predetermined).
Parameter What it does
L.F.O.
Adjusts the rate/speed of low frequency
oscillations

between 0 and 180˚
Phase 3
Adjusts the phasing of the signal at 1.12 kHz
between 0 and 180˚
Phase 4
Adjusts the phasing of the signal at 2.8 kHz
