DYNAMIC

This effect (also called compression) “squeezes” the

overall dynamic range of the sound, and has a gain

control–letting you make soft sounds louder, and thus

give more “punch” to the sound.

EQ/ENHANCER

This effect boosts or cuts specific frequency bands,

allowing you to shape the tone of the sound as

required by the mix.

Parameter Value Description
Type Normal, Low, Mid,
High, Low/High,
Low/Mid, Mid/High,
FullBit, Wild, Attacky,
LowEnd, Hard, Basic
Determines the compressor
type.
EQ Low Gain -63 - +63 Determines the amount of
low-frequency gain (boost or
cut).
EQ Middle
Gain
-63 - +63 Determines the amount of
mid-frequency gain (boost or
cut).
EQ Hi.Gain -63 - +63
Determines the amount of
high-frequency gain (boost or
cut).
Attack 1 - 40 msec Determines how soon the
compression effect is
applied, once the
compressor has been
triggered (as a result of
Threshold below).
Release 10 - 680 msec Determines how soon the
compressor returns to its
normal gain, once the trigger
signal drops below the
Threshold point.
Threshold multi-band
compressor:
-32 - +32
compressor:
-48 - -6 dB
Noise Gate:
-72 - -30 dB
Determines the level of the
input signal required to
trigger the compressor.
Signals at a level below the
Threshold pass through
unaffected; signals at and
above the Threshold are
compressed.
Ratio 1.0 - 20.0 Determines the amount of
compression of the sound
(for signals passing the
Threshold). This is expressed
as a ratio

–

the change in
output signal relative to the
change in input. The range
here is 1/1 (no change in
output signal, hence no
compression) to 20/1. Higher
ratios result in greater
compression.
OutputLevel 0 - 127 Determines the overall output
of the compressed signal.
Use this to bring up the
overall level after you've
reduced the dynamic range
with compression.

Parameter Value Description
EQ LowFreq. 50 - 2.0k Hz
ST2BandEQ:
32 - 2.0k Hz
Determines the central
frequency of the low
frequency range that is to be
boosted or cut.
EQ Low Gain -12 - +12 dB Determines the amount over
which the low frequency
range is boosted or cut.
EQ Middle
Freq.
100 - 16k Hz Determines the central
frequency of the middle
frequency range that is to be
boosted or cut.
EQ Middle
Gain
-12 - +12 dB Determines the amount over
which the middle frequency
range is boosted or cut.
EQ M Width 0.1 - 12.0 Determines the bandwidth or
the range of frequencies
around the specific middle
frequency that is to be
boosted or cut. Lower values
let you narrow in on a specific
frequency, while higher
values select a broader
range of frequencies to be
affected.
EQ Hi.Freq. 500Hz - 16 kHz Deter mines the central
frequency of the high
frequency range that is to be
boosted or cut.
EQ Hi.Gain -12 - +12 dB Determines how much
increase/ decrease the wave
frequency point of EQ high
frequency.
HPF Cutoff 500Hz - 16 k Hz Determines the cutoff
frequency of the low pass
filter. Frequencies above this
value are cut or filtered out.
Drive 0 - 127 Determines the amount or
depth of the Enhancer effect.
Mix Level 0 - 127 Determines how much of the
processed enhanced sound
is mixed together with the
original sound.
