Adjusting the Built-In Comp/Lim
The built-in Comp/Lim can be adjusted using Channel Control
and on-screen. Comp/Lim Threshold can be adjusted using the
channel encoders. When adjusting Dynamics, a Dynamics re-
sponse curve appears on-screen.
To engage and adjust the built-in Comp/Lim using Channel
Control:
1 Select an input or output channel.
2 Make sure the Channel Control main menu is shown in the
Channel Control encoder displays.
3 Press the Channel Control encoder under the display showing
Comp/Lim. Compressor/limiter controls are now available on
the Channel Control encoders.
4 Press the In switch in the Channel Control Navigation section
to toggle the entire Comp/Lim processor in/out.
5 Adjust the Channel Control encoders for the parameters
shown in the displays.
6 To make fine adjustments, hold Fine while rotating an en-
coder.
To engage and adjust Comp/Lim Threshold using the channel
encoders:
1 Bank Input Channels and/or FX Returns.
2 Press the Comp Threshold Channel Encoder Assignment
switch.
3 Press the channel encoder In switch to engage the Comp/Lim
for the desired channel(s).
4 Rotate the channel encoder to adjust the Comp/Lim Threshold
for the desired channel(s).
Built-In Exp/Gate
The built-in Exp/Gate defaults to gate (Ratio of 100:1, the maxi-
mum setting). It can be switched to Expander mode by setting the
Range to its minimum setting. Mono and stereo processing are
supported.
Exp/Gate Parameters
The following Exp/Gate parameters are provided:
Threshold Increases or decreases the threshold level for the
built-in Expander/Gate.
Ratio Increases or decreases the ratio for the built-in Ex-
pander/Gate. The most extreme clockwise setting (100:1) puts
the process into Gate mode.
Attack Increases or decreases the attack time for the built-in Ex-
pander/Gate.
Gate Hold Increases or decreases the time the built-in gate holds.
Release Increases or decreases the release time for the built-in
Expander/Gate.
Range Sets the maximum range or depth of attenuation of the
gate on that channel.
In/Out Takes the built-in Expander/Gate in or out of circuit (by-
pass).
Side-Chain Keying The Expander/Gate supports side-chain and
key listen. For details, see “Using the Sidechain” on page 148.
See “On-Screen Dynamics Controls” on page 146 for in-
structions on adjusting dynamics on-screen.
Press the Back/Top Channel Control Navigation switch to
return to the Channel Control main menu.

more information on how Comp/Lim parameters are
mapped to the Channel Control encoders.
