M-Audio NRV10, User Manual

6. 

By adjusting the 

Compressor Attack Control

, you can adjust how fast the signal 

compresses

(reduces to the setting of the 

Compressor Ratio Control)

 after the signal 

exceeds the threshold setting of the Compressor. 

The fully counterclockwise position 

yields the fastest "attack," and the fully clockwise position yields the slowest "attack." 

7. By adjusting the 

Compressor Release Control

, you can adjust how fast the signal 

increases from the setting of the 

Compressor Ratio Control, 

after the signal falls below 

the threshold setting of the Compressor. 

The fully counterclockwise position yields the 

fastest "release," and the fully clockwise position yields the slowest "release."

Working with Custom Effects: 

Each channel of NRV10 interFX allows you to load up to two custom, or user-defined, 
VST effects. 

The 

User Effect Slots

 are located beneath the Compressor of each channel. 

Both 

User Effect Slots

 function in the same manner, so we'll cover only the first                   

User Effect Slot

 in this tutorial. 

To load a VST effect to 

User Effect 1

, follow these steps: 

1. Click the 

User Effect 1 Plug-in Chooser

 of channel 1, and select the desired plug-in. 

2. To open the editor window of the effect, click the 

User Effect 1 Edit Button

. 

3. To bypass 

User Effect 1

, click the 

User Effect 1 Bypass Button

. 

4. To remove the effect, click the 

User Effect 1 Plug-in Chooser

, and select "Remove 

Plug-in" from the resultant menu. 

Note: If NRV10 interFX does not show plug-ins that you known are installed on your 
system, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this guide.

1.2.2.4

Setting Optimal Output Gain: 

Located at the bottom of each NRV10 interFX channel, you'll find a 

Gain Control

 and a                   

Level Meter

. 

The 

Gain Control

 raises or lowers the output of the NRV10 interFX channel 

to the NRV10 Mixer, where the 12 o'clock position equals no gain change. 

Depending 

on the Expander-Gate, Compressor, and custom effect settings of a channel, you may 
need to alter the 

Gain Control

. 

While adjusting the 

Gain Control

, observe the                  

Level Meter

. 

If the uppermost LED lights up (the red LED), move the 

Gain Control

counterclockwise to reduce the signal's loudness, and thus prevent distortion. 

It is also 

good practice to "boost" the signal as much as possible, without creating distortion. 

To 

increase or "boost" the loudness of the signal, move the 

Gain Control

 clockwise.
