Attack (Att) This adjusts the rate at which the gate opens on the selected channel or output. You can set the
attack time from 0.02 to 500 ms.
Release (Rel) Adjusts and displays the rate at which the gate closes on the selected channel. The release time
can be set from 0.05 to 2 seconds.
Listen This button engages and disengages the Key Listen function, which lets you hear how the gate Key Filter
is set.
Expand Switch the gate into expander mode.
Interactive Graph This graph provides a visual representation of the settings and current activity of the gate.
You can also adjust the setting by moving the blue dots to adjust Threshold and Range.
Compressor Module
Enable/Disable Click this button to enable or disable the Compressor module.
Threshold This knob adjusts the compressor threshold for the selected channel. The compressor engages as
soon as the signal level (amplitude) exceeds the threshold value. Moving this control to the left lowers the
threshold so that compression begins at a lower amplitude value. The threshold can be set from -56 to 0 dB.
Ratio This knob adjusts the compression ratio (or slope) for the selected channel. The ratio is a function of the out-
put level versus the input level. For example, if you have the ratio set at 2:1, any signal levels above the threshold
setting are compressed at a ratio of 2:1. This means that for every 2 dB of level increase above the threshold, the
compressors output only increases by s1 dB. The ratio can be set from 1:1 to 18:1 or limit” which is the equi-
valent of infinity:1.
Gain This sets and displays the makeup gain of the compressor for the selected channel. Compressing a signal
usually results in an overall reduction in level (gain reduction), and the Makeup Gain control lets you increase the
volume to make up for this gain loss, if desired. You can adjust the Makeup Gain from 0 dB (no gain adjustment) to
+28 dB.
Attack This adjusts the speed at which the compressor acts on the input signal. A slow attack time (moving the
slider to the right) allows the beginning component of a signal (commonly referred to as the initial transient) to
pass through, uncompressed, whereas a fast attack time (fully to the left) triggers compression immediately when
a signal exceeds the threshold. You can set the attack from 0.2 to 150 milliseconds.
Release This determines the length of time the compressor takes to return the gain reduction back to zero (no
gain reduction) after crossing below the compression threshold. Release can be set from 2.5 to 900 milliseconds.
Auto This enables Automatic Attack and Release mode. When Auto mode is active, the Attack and Release con-
trols become inoperative, and a pre-programmed attack and release curve is used that sets the attack to 10 ms
and the release to 150 ms. Meanwhile, all other compressor parameters can still be adjusted manually.
Soft This engages soft-knee compression. In normal operating mode, the compressor is set for hard-knee com-
pression, meaning the gain reduction applied to the signal occurs as soon as the input signal level exceeds the
threshold value. When the Soft Knee button is engaged, the ratio increases gradually as the signal reaches the
threshold.
Interactive Graph This graph provides a visual representation of the settings and current activity of the com-
pressor. You can also adjust the setting by moving the blue dot to change the Threshold and Ratio values.
Equalizer Module
Enable/Disable Click this button to enable or disable the Equalizer module.
High/Low Shelf Button These buttons turns Shelving mode on or off for the High and Low bands. When the
Shelf button is engaged, the associated High or Low frequency section is switched from parametric EQ to
shelving EQ.
Band Enable/Disable Buttons These buttons select which EQ band is being controlled by the Frequency,
Gain, and Q controls.
