1DYNAMICS IN button

Press this button to make the dynamics section active. The settings on the DYNAMICS section are displayed on the DYNAMICS window (page 47).

2Dynamics access section

Selects the functions of dynamics parameter section 4.

ACCESS button for EXPAND/GATE: Press this button so that the corresponding DYNAMICS window opens. Parameters of the expander and gate can be set using the THRESHOLD, RATIO, ATTACK, HOLD, RANGE/GAIN and RELEASE controls in the Dynamics Parameter section.

IN button for EXPAND/GATE: Press this button to activate the expander and gate.

ACCESS button for COMPRESS/DUCK: Press this button so that the corresponding DYNAMICS window opens. Parameters of the compressor and ducking can be set using the THRESHOLD, RATIO, ATTACK, HOLD, RANGE/GAIN and RELEASE controls in the dynamics parameter section.

IN button for COMPRESS/DUCK: Press this button to activate the compressor ducking function.

Buttons in this section are not used for automation function.

3Dynamics insertion point buttons

Select the point where the dynamics is inserted.

PRE EQ button: Inserts the dynamics settings before the equalizer.

POST EQ button: Inserts the dynamics settings after the equalizer.

PRE EQ and POST EQ buttons are controlled by snapshot automation but not dynamic automation.

4Dynamics parameter section

The function of these buttons in this section depends on the setting of the ACCESS button in the dynamics access section 2.

When the ACCESS button of EXPAND/GATE in the dynamics access section 2 is pressed: the following parameters for the expander and gate can be set. THRESHOLD control: Threshold

RATIO control: Ratio

ATTACK control: Attack time

HOLD control: Hold time

RANGE/GAIN control: Range

RELEASE control: Release time

When the ACCESS button for COMPRESS/DUCK in the dynamics access section 2 is pressed: The following parameters for the compressor and ducking can be set.

THRESHOLD control: Threshold

RATIO control: Ratio (effective only in the COMPRESS mode)

ATTACK control: Attack time

HOLD control: Hold time

RANGE/GAIN control: Range in the DUCK mode and gain in COMPRESS mode.

The fully clockwise position is “AUTO” and results in automatic gain control (when the input signal is -20 dBFs, the gain is automatically adjusted so that the output signal is -20 dBFs).

RELEASE control: Release time

Controls and buttons in this section are used for the snapshot and dynamic automation.
