Sustain
With the SUSTAIN control you can amplify or attenuate the sustain of
a signal by up to 24 dB. For more information on the operation of the
SUSTAIN control please refer to “Technology“ on page 20 cont.
The SUSTAIN control circuitry also uses two envelope generators.
One follows the shape of the original curve and adapts perfectly to
the dynamic gradient. The second envelope generator produces an
envelope with a longer sustain. From the difference of both envelopes
the VCA control voltage is derived. The gradient of the control voltage
matches the time flow of the original signal.
Positive SUSTAIN values lengthen the sustain, negative SUSTAIN val-
ues shorten the sustain.
For an extensive description and explanation of the possible applica-
tions of the SUSTAIN control please refer to “Applications”, page 14
cont.
Output Gain
The OUTPUT GAIN control allows you to reduce the output signal by up
to -22dB or boost it by up to +6dB. This ensures that following devices
receive an optimized level. The centered 12-o‘clock position of the con-
trol equals 0dB output gain.
IMPORTANT: In LINK mode, the master module does NOT transfer
OUTPUT GAIN settings to the slave-module.
You ALWAYS have to set
the output values of both modules manually.
