Detailed Parameter Description

 

RANGE: Determines the depth of gating or expansion. When

turned fully an ticlockwise (R ANGE = 0), thi s sect ion i s

inactive. When turned fully clockwise, a range of 40dB can be

obtained.

 

 

THRESHOLD: A Variable hysteresis is incorporated in the

threshold circuitry. For any given ‘open’ setting, the

Expander/Gate will have a lower

‘close’ threshol d. The

hysteresis value is increased as the threshold is lowered. This

is very useful in music recording as it allows instruments to

decay below the open threshold before gating or expansion

takes place.

 

 

RELEASE: This determines t he tim e constant (spe ed),

variable from 0.1 to 4 se conds, at which the Gate/Expander

reduces the signal level once it has passed below the threshold.

Note that this control interacts with the RANGE control.

FAST ATT: Provides a fast at tack tim e (100μs per 40db).

When off, a controlled linear attack time of 1.5ms per 40dB is

selected. T he attack time

is t he ti me taken for the

Expander/Gate to ‘recover’ once the signal level is above the

threshold. When gating signals with a steep rising edge, such

as d rums, a s low a ttack may effecti

vely mask the i nitial

‘Thwack’, so you should be aware of this when selecting the

appropriate attack time.

HOLD: Determines the time after t

below the threshold before the gate closes. Variable from 0 to 4 seconds.

Note that when the Dynamics Section is not in circuit, the sidechain input is also bypassed.

Output Section

The Output Section consists of a ±20dB output gain control, and a 6-segment LED meter.

S/C LISTEN: Pressing the SC LISTEN switch routes the sidechain directly to t he output, so you c an moni tor th e sidechain signal.

BYPASS ALL: Engaging this button will bypass all channel processing whilst still routing the signal through Duende. This avoids the time shift which occurs when a ‘hard’ by pass is done using the default DAW control, allowing for easier A/B comparison between processed and unprocessed signals.
