threshold.

Release.
Sets the time it takes for the compressor to stop attenuating a signal once it falls below the
threshold.
6.
Ratio.
Sets the Ratio for the compressor. The following Ratios are available: 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, or
All.

Press to listen to the signal being used to trigger the compressor,as set with the Key Fil-
ter control (including the effects of the high-pass filter). Press again to switch back to the normal chan-

7.2.4 Changing the Signal Chain
The Compressor and EQ can be reordered in the signal path. By default, the signal passes through the
compressor before passing through the EQ. When reordered, the EQ is placed before the compressor in
the signal path.
Power User Tip:
Placing the compressor before the EQ allows you to make dramatic changes to the EQ set-
tings without needing to alter the compressor setting. However, if you place the EQ before the compressor, you
can better control different frequencies, achieving a more natural response.
7.2.5 Equalizer
As previously mentioned, an EQ (or equalizer) is a tone control that lets you make changes in the tonal
balance of a signal. You can boost or cut the level of ranges of frequencies, to make corrective or cre-
ative changes to the signal. Like the compressor, your Revelator Dynamic is equipped with three EQ
models from which to choose: Standard, Passive, and Vintage.
These distinct EQ models have their own set of controls and behavior:
l
Standard EQ.
A clean and full-featured EQ that offers transparent tone shaping.
l
Passive Program EQ.
A model of a tube-based EQ with simple, quick and a classic tonal character.
l
Vintage 1970s EQ.
A model of a classic solid-state EQ, with simple, musical frequency settings and
a lot of character.
To change the EQ model, click on the dropdown menu. Note: The EQ will turn off whenever a new model
is loaded and must be re-enabled for you to hear its effect on your voice.
