Display parameters
•
Graphic display: Shows and allows adjustment of frequency and gain for each frequency band.
The amount of gain change from 0 dB is indicated by blue bars. The band number appears in
the center of active bands. You can adjust each frequency band in the following ways:
•
Drag the horizontal bar up or down to adjust the gain makeup for that band.
•
Drag the vertical edges of a band to the left or right to set the crossover frequencies, which
adjusts the band’s frequency range.
•
Crossover elds: Drag to set the crossover frequency between adjacent bands.
•
Gain Make-up elds: Drag to set the amount of the gain make-up for each band.
Multipressor Frequency Band parameters
Multipressor’s parameters are grouped into three main areas: the graphic display in the upper
section, the set of controls for each frequency band in the lower section, and the output
parameters on the right.

Frequency band parameters
•
Compr Thresh (Compression Threshold) elds: Drag to set the compression threshold for the
selected band. Setting the parameter to 0 dB results in no compression of the band.
•
Compr Ratio (Compression Ratio) elds: Drag to set the compression ratio for the selected band.
Setting the parameter to 1:1 results in no compression of the band.
•
Expnd Thresh (Expand Threshold) elds: Drag to set the expansion threshold for the selected
band. Setting the parameter to its minimum value (−60 dB) means that only signals that fall
below this level are expanded.
•
Expnd Ratio (Expand Ratio) elds: Drag to set the expansion ratio for the selected band.
•
Expnd Reduction (Expand Reduction) elds: Drag to set the amount of downward expansion for
the selected band.
•
Peak/RMS elds: Drag to set a smaller value for shorter peak detection, or a larger value for RMS
detection, in milliseconds.
