292e Dynamics Manager
292050101
Functionally identical to the original 292, with the exception of two new
features - the 292e has velocity inputs, allowing controllers to control note
volumes with performance gestures. And its settings can be stored as a part
of a 200e series preset.
Level: The 292e sports four independent voltage controlled amplifiers. Each
has a signal input and output, a control voltage input that varies the unit's gain
from -120 to + 3db, an offset adjustment, and a velocity input. Velocity adds
further control to the gain when employed (usually from a controller equipped
with velocity output), but it has no effect when unconnected.
MODE: A three state switch selects one of three operating modes: straight
gate (VCA), lowpass filter (VCF), or a combination of the two, in which the
spectral response varies as the gain is changed.
Frequency domain gating can impart a dynamic tonal variation to sounds that
gives the listener a sense of absolute loudness. This quality is characteristic
of all acoustic instruments (the harder you strike, pluck, or blow, the richer the
overtone structure).
A mix of the four output signals is also provided.
Remote Enable: Gain adjustments and switch positions may be stored for
later recall by the Preset Manager, part of the MIDI/USB Decoder model 225e
or the Mixer model 206e. A push button switch enables (or disables) this
remote connection from the central library function; an LED indicates the
current status.
Internal MIDI bus response: In conjunction with the 225e, the 292e can also
monitor an internal MIDI bus, responding to the velocity byte of MIDI note on
messages. If--and only if--the module ID is set to A and if the module is
“remote enabled,” signals A-D will respond to bus A-D respectively.
For further explanation of the above features, please consult the description of
the 225e MIDI/USB Decoder.
