DYNAMICS

General

The Dynamics section contains a GATE with key filter, a Compressor and a Limiter. Alternatively the Gate
can be set to operate in De-esser mode.

GATE Function

The Gate contains a side-chain input with filters, a Key listen SOLO and it can also operate in ducking
mode.

State Indication

The Gate status is indicated on the right side of the Dynamics touch field:

* ON green
* HOLD

yellow

* OFF red

THRS Field

Encoder adjusts the threshold value between -40 db to +18db.
{IN} enables the GATE.

ATCK field

Encoder adjusts the attack time in the range 10µS to 957mS.
{INV} sets the GATE to inverse mode (ducking mode).

HLD field

Encoder adjusts the hold time in the range 2.2mS to 2S.

REL field

Encoder adjusts the release time in the range 2.2mS to 3.7S.

RNG field

Encoder adjusts the attenuation RNG value in the range 0 to -60dB.
{SC SOLO} switches the side-chain signal to the solo bus.
