4 - Module operations—Dynamics processor settings
4–6
DYNAMICS
key to recall the
DYNAMICS
screen
for the selected module.
4.6.1 Assigning a processor to a module
This is described in full in 8.2.2, “Recalling a library
entry”. Briefly, the module is selected, the dynamics
processor library screen is entered, and the desired
processor settings are recalled from the library.
4.6.2 Using the MODULE key to make
dynamics processor settings
The equalization controls on this screen are identical
to those on the other
MODULE
screen.
However, the two lowest POD rows are used to con-
trol the dynamics processor. The exact assignment of
the PODs to controls depends on whether a gate or a
compressor (shown on the small on-screen level dia-
gram as
GATE
or
COMP
) has been recalled from
the library into this channel, as described below.
To enable and disable the selected channel’s dynam-
ics processor, use the
DYNAMICS
key to the right of
the display screen. The on-screen
DYN
indicator in
the “button strip” at the lower left of the screen
changes to reflect the on/off status.
Stereo linked channels and stereo inputs may share
the same dynamics processor settings. However, see
the explanation of the
DYNAMICS
key immediately
following this, for further information regarding ste-
reo linking of dynamics processors.
4.6.3 Using the DYNAMICS key to make
dynamics processor settings
With the desired channel selected, press the mixer
DYNAMICS
key (not the library
DYNAMICS
key).
The information at the upper left of the screen
includes:
• The dynamics processor’s gain reduction meter
• A graphical representation of the dynamics proces-
sor’s gain structure. An example of the way a pair
of stereo linked processors are shown on screen is
given here:
4.6.4 Compressor/limiter settings
Both the
MODULE
and
DYNAMICS
screens
allow the same parameters to be set.
• Threshold (
THRESH
), controlled by the POD 1
knob, and variable from
-48dB
to
0dB
in 49
1 dB steps.
• Compression ratio (
RATIO
), controlled by the
POD 2 knob, and variable from
1:1
to
ß :1
(infinite compression) in 21 steps.
• Attack time (
ATTACK
), controlled by the POD
3 knob, and variable from
0ms
to
125ms
in
1ms steps.
• Release time (
RELEASE
), controlled by the
POD 4 knob, and variable from
5ms
to
5.0s
in 100 steps.
• Output gain (
OUTGAIN
), controlled by the
POD 4 knob on the last row. Variable from
-24dB
to
+24dB
in 1 dB steps.
