33: Vocal Multi

A limiter/de-esser, enhancer, 3-band equalizer, and delay are connected in series.

A limiter holds down high signal levels to prevent distortion.

A de-esser cuts the sibilant sounds of a voice, producing a gentler tone.

begin to operate.

Limtr Release

 

0–127

 

 

Adjusts the time until when the

#1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

limiter will turn off after the in-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

put level falls below the thresh-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

old level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Limtr Gain

 

-60– +12 dB

 

 

Adjusts the gain of the sound

DE Sens

 

0–127

 

 

Adjusts the sensitivity relative

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to the input volume, which con-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

trols how the effect is applied.

DE Frequency

 

1000–10000 Hz

 

Adjusts the frequency at which

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the de-esser effect will apply.

Enhan Sens

Sensitivity of the enhancer

Enhan Frequen-

Delay Time

 

0–1300 ms, note

 

Adjusts the delay time from the

sound is heard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Delay Feedback

 

-98– +98 %

 

 

Adjusts the proportion of the de-

the effect. Negative (-) settings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

will invert the phase.

Low Damp Freq

50–4000 Hz

Adjusts the frequency below

 

 

which sound fed back to the ef-

 

 

fect will be cut.

 

 

The Low Damp function damps

 

 

the low frequency band of the

 

 

delay sound quicker than other

 

 

bands, which makes for a clearer

 

 

delay effect.

Hi Damp Freq

2000–20000 Hz

Adjusts the frequency above

 

 

which sound fed back to the ef-

 

 

fect will be cut.

 

 

High Damp, by attenuating the

 

 

higher frequencies first, makes

 

 

the delay sound more natural.

Hi Damp Gain

-36–0 dB

Degree of High Damp

Delay Level

0–127
