ENVELOPE MODE

Softlim

Softlimiter on/off switch. Where a Compressor mostly is used to gradually reduce the dynamic content above the set Threshold point a limiter is used to directly avoid hitting an upper limit. Compressors and limiters are often used in conjunction. - The Compressor as the musical/gentle way of reducing the level and the Limiter as a hard abrupt control to avoid distortion. See illustration.

Makeup Gain

Bypass

Press to bypass the TRIPLE•C. All processing parameters are bypassed. Input Level control and all System settings found in the I/O menu are not bypassed.

Level

When a signal is compressed the max Output level of the signal is reduced. Since it is a reduction in dynamic content and not a gain-reduction that is the object of applying compression a make-up gain is necessary to lift the signal to appropriate level. Observe the gain reduction via the meters and lift the processed signal to approx. 0dB using the Level knob in the Make Up Gain section.

For detailed information please read the section on make up gain in the section called “Using Compression”.

•Press MENU.

•Use the VALUE SET wheel to select the Edit menu and press ENTER.

DRG - Digital Radiance Generator

Range: 1-10

With this parameter you can add second harmonic distortion. This is a commonly used tube-simulation that will add warmth to the signal.

External Sidechain

Range: Off, On, Add

Determines whether the TRIPLE•C should respond to the signal present on the External Sidechain.

Off	: This is the ”Normal” setting. The TRIPLE•C will
	only respond to the Input signal and not to any
	signal present on the Sidechain.
On	: The compression will be controlled only by the
	signal present on the Sidechain Input.
Add	: In this mode the TRIPLE•C will respond both to
	the Input signal and to the signal present on the
	Sidechain. The Input signal and the Sidechain
	signal are added for compression control.
	Please note that the signal present on the
	Sidechain Input under no circumstances is
	passed to the Outputs. The Sidechain Input is
	only for compression control.
	Hi X-Over, Lo X-Over and Comp Style are
	ineffective in the Envelope mode.
