COMPRESSOR PARAMETERS
Turn the Adjust knob to change the selected
compressor parameter. An appropriate value for that
parameter will be displayed. Successive presses of the
Edit button will sequence through the following
compression parameters, then back to the four program
parameters (see page 2-4).
Ratio
(Off, 2-1, 3-1, 5-1, and 10-)
Determines the compression ratio of the compressor.
Available ratios include 2:1, 3:1, 5:1, and 10:1.
Threshold
(-32 to 0dB)
Determines the signal threshold below which the
compressor is inactive.
Attack
(4, 8, 16, 30, 60, 125)
Controls the attack time (in milliseconds) of the
compressor.
Release
(4, 8, 16, 30, 60, 125, 250)
Controls the release time (in milliseconds) of the
compressor.
After changing parameter settings, the MPX 200 will
wait 4 seconds, then "timeout" and revert to displaying
the active program number on the display.
BYPASS
The Bypass button can be used to force the unit
to pass only dry audio, to mute the outputs
immediately, or to mute the inputs to the
loaded program. Its function depends on the setting of
the System Mode parameter Bypass Mode. When Bypass
Mode is set to Dry, the unit sends only dry, unprocessed
audio to the outputs. When set to Full Mute (Qui), the
unit mutes the outputs. When set to Input Mute (Inp),
the unit mutes the inputs only. Running effects will
continue their natural decay. When entering
Bypass Mode, “byP” will show on the display
and the Bypass LED will light.
