Enhanced VU-meter function:
Pressing 

in the lower left side of the meter allows you to change between

three meter states.

L: 

Meter indicates left channel only

R:

Meter indicates right channel only

L+R:

Meter indicates both left and right channels

7 - Off/On

To bypass CL 1B and free PowerCore DSP resources at the same time, set the Off/On
switch to “Off”. - See also the description of the IN switch.

8 - Attack

The attack control determines how fast the compressor responds to an increase of the
input signal. The attack control is continuously variable from 0.5 to 300 milliseconds.

9 - Release

The release control determines how fast the compressor responds to a decrease of the
input signal. The release control is continuously variable from 0.05 to 10 seconds.

10 - Attack/Release Select

Three options are available

Fixed: 

Attack time: 1 msec
Release time: 50 msec

Manual:  Attack time: from 0.5 msec to 300 msec 

Release time: from 0.05 sec to 10 sec

Fix/man: This setting is mainly intended as an overall compression on a full mix or on
a sub-group mix. Combining the release times of Fixed and Manual modes, the
Fix/man mode facilitates an adaptive release function with fast constant attack and
release times for short peaks and a longer release times for longer peaks. 

Turn the Attack control counter-clockwise to increase the time before the release
control takes over

Turn the Attack control clockwise to decrease the time before the release control
takes over

Notice that the Fix/man mode is in effect only when the peak-time is shorter than the
setting of the attack control. If the peak of signal is longer than the setting of the
attack control, or if the attack control is set fully counter-clockwise, it will respond as
in manual mode.
