INPUT
The input field is used to determine whether the input signal should be derived from the optional digital input,
or from the analog input. In addition, the sampling frequency is set here for analog operation. The available
frequencies are 32 kHz / 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz (the digital input automatically synchronizes to these frequen-
cies). When changing sample rates, the ULTRA-DYNE PRO will be muted briefly.
+
In purely analog mode the 48 kHz rate should be used. Apart from the fact that the high sample
rate gives the widest frequency response and correspondingly the best possible sound, the
fastest signal processing takes place at this rate.
If the ULTRA-DYNE PRO unexpectedly doesn't output a signal, this may be due to an incorrect input configu-
ration.
VIEWING ANGLE
Viewing Angle controls the contrast adjustment for the display in increments from 0 to 31.
MODE
The two channels of the ULTRA-DYNE PRO can be stereo-linked using this parameter. This automatically
copies all settings to the opposite channel. The channels are also linked in such a manner that both are edited
simultaneously. Both channels operate completely independently in 2 CHANNEL mode.
DELAY
The ULTRA-DYNE PRO has an integrated memory for the delay and intermediate storage of the input signal.
This permits the optimal adaptation of the control processes, as the signal can already be analyzed before
processing. Delay times of 20 to 40 ms ensure optimal compression characteristics with your ULTRA-DYNE
PRO. The delay time may be set from 0 to 600 ms. Factory default is 10 ms.
+
This signal delay can easily cause unpleasant side effects in live applications, making it advis-
able to keep the delay time as short as possible.
SECURITY
The SECURITY function offers effective protection against unauthorized manipulation of the ULTRA-DYNE
PRO. UNLOCK means that all functions may be accessed, with the exception of programs that are secured
under PROTECT MEMORY. LOCK prevents any of the parameters on the device being accessed, the only
exceptions being the DISPLAY of the present setting, plus the input and output level with the LEVEL METER.
The only other way to access the parameters is via MIDI. To use the SECURITY function, enter a PASS-
WORD with the cursor keys and softkeys. The softkeys are used to select the letter or symbol to be used, and
have the following functions:
Softkey A confirms entry of the password and immediately activates the LOCK status. Softkeys B and C move
the cursor left and right within the PASSWORD. Softkey D erases any characters which may have already
been entered.
The LOCK status can be cleared by calling up SETUP menu again. The relevant PASSWORD field is
displayed immediately, and the PASSWORD may be re-entered. This returns the ULTRA-DYNE PRO to
UNLOCK status. If the device is locked without entering the PASSWORD, simply enter OK to UNLOCK.
+
Do not forget the password! If this happens, there is only one way to remove it: Open the
casing of the ULTRA-DYNE PRO and take the battery out for a short while. After replacing it
and switching the unit on, the original factory presets will be reloaded. We recommend that
this should only be performed by an experienced engineer to avoid inadvertent damage to the
unit. Warning! Doing this will cause you to lose all your programs, AND void the warranty!
PROTECT MEM
The PROTECT MEMORY parameter switches the write protection for the program memory on and off.
LOW
and
HIGH
The functions LOW and HIGH determine the area of program memory which will be protected by the PRO-
TECT MEMORY function. LOW determines the lowest, HIGH the highest program number of the protected
area. The PROTECT MEMORY function can be disabled with OFF (also see Security).
