Editing the digital processing

The Edit display is the place where you have a general overview of what processing blocks, Insert and Links are set up in the current preset, and it is where you get access to edit the different parameters in the digital processing section of the Gold Channel.

To get access to the Edit display, press the EDIT key if you are not already there, and use the < > Menu keys to select the Edit page.Basic operation is accomplished by using the Parameter wheel to change cursor position and the Enter button to access the parameter lists of the blocks.

About the Edit Display

The Edit display shows you the processing blocks and Insert that are set up in the Routing display, and automatically views available Links. The lines from the IN to the OUT blocks through the processing blocks, indicate the signal flow. When you bypass a block, the graphics change to indicate that the signal doesn’t go through the block. At the lower line you can see the name of the block that the cursor is placed on.

The IN Block

If you place the cursor on the block named IN and press Enter, you get access to a range of parameters that relate to the input on both channels. In the signal chain these parameters are placed after the processing on the front (Locut, Phase invert and Softlim), and before the processing and Insert blocks.

M/S Matrix - Select between Encoding and Decoding, depending on what your input signal is. Also see the separate section on M/S recording technique in this manual.

NOTE: This M/S matrix runs simultaneously with the M/S matrix in the output block.

Unit - With this parameter you can change the unit that the delay time is measured in: Milliseconds, Feet and Meters.

Delay Ch.1 and Ch.2 - Controls 340 ms adjustable delay on each channel. The first 10 ms are adjustable in 0.1 ms steps, and from 10 ms to 340 ms, in 1 ms steps.

Output Correlation - The graphics running with the delay settings is a Phase Correlation meter. This shows you the output phase correlation between Ch.1 and Ch.2. When the black dot is at maximum (+), you have the same phase on both outputs and when it goes down to minimum (-), the outputs are completely phase reversed. The “tail” after the black dot shows you the history of the phase correlation. You can then, with the Time/Div. parameter, adjust how much history it displays: From 0.1 second to 0.9 seconds.

Example: Set up the Gold Channel with the same input on both channels (e.g., a 1 kHz test tone), and see that the phase correlation is at maximum. Then press the Phase Invert button on one of the channels, and see how it shifts. Also try to adjust the phase correlation with the delay parameters.
