Selecting The External Side-chain Input
Pressing the
S/C HPF
control allows the external side-chain input(s) to be sourced for the Bus Compressor, D-EQ or both.
Going Further... Selecting the External Side-chain For One Dynamic EQ Band Only
When you select the external side-chain input for the Dynamic EQ, by default it is used for both the LF and HF bands. However,
you can choose to have one band driven from the external side-chain and the other from the internal side-chain.
Press once to select
the external input(s) as
the source for the Bus
Compressor side-chain.
Make sure D-EQ is selected as the
external side-chain source. Press
and hold the S/C HPF control and
you'll see the LF and HF Dynamic EQ
activity LEDs flashing green (default
state) - both bands driven by the
external side-chain input.

External S/C Input For HF Only External S/C Input For LF Only
Whilst keeping the S/C HPF control
held down, press the LF control.
This will return the LF band to being
sourced from the internal side-chain,
whilst the HF band remains triggered
from the external side-chain input.
The HF D-EQ LED turns red to
indicate this.
Alternatively, keep the S/C HPF
control held down, press the HF
control. This will return the HF band to
being sourced from the internal side-
chain, whilst the LF band remains
triggered from the external side-chain
input. The D-EQ LED turns orange to
indicate this.
Press twice to select the
external input(s) as the
source for the Dynamic EQ
side-chain.
Press three times to select
the external input(s) as
the source for both the
Bus Compressor and the
Dynamic EQ side-chains.
Press four times to return to
the default state of internal
side-chain for both the Bus
Compressor and Dynamic
EQ.
