COMPRESSOR (except for FX RTN channels)
A
Compressor graph
Indicates the approximate response for the compressor of the currently selected channel.
B
GR meter
This meter indicates the amount of gain reduction produced by the compressor.
C
TYPE
Indicates the type of the currently selected compressor.
D
THRESHOLD (Threshold level)
Specifies the threshold level at which the compressor will operate. The input signal will start being compressed
when the key-in signal exceeds this level; compression will be removed when the signal falls below this level.
E
RATIO
Specifies the ratio at which the input signal will be compressed when the key-in signal exceeds the threshold.
F
KNEE/WIDTH
If the TYPE is COMP or EXPANDER, you can set the KNEE. The KNEE is the abruptness with which the output
level will change. You can choose from HARD and 1–5.
If the TYPE is COMPANDER H or COMPANDER S, you can set the WIDTH. The WIDTH is the spread between
the boundary level of the compressor effect (THRESHOLD) and the boundary level of the expander effect. The
expander effect will apply to levels that are lower than THWIDTH.
G
ATTACK (Attack time)
Specifies the time from when the key-in signal exceeds the threshold level until the signal starts being compressed.
H
RELEASE (Release time)
Specifies the time from when the key-in signal falls below the threshold level until compression is removed.
I
GAIN
Adjusts the gain of the signal after it has passed through the compressor.
J
ON (On/off)
This button switches the compressor on/off.
K
LIBRARY
This button accesses the compressor library. Clicking this button will open the COMP page of the LIBRARY win-
dow.
L
LINK (Stereo link)
This button links the parameter settings and key-in signals of adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered input
channels or the L/R sides of a ST IN channel, so that compression will operate in tandem for the two channels.
