Using Built-In Dynamics on Inputs
Built-In Dynamics can be controlled from the Channel encoders,
Channel Control, and on-screen. An input/output curve appears
on-screen when adjusting dynamics parameters.
Comp/Lim
The built-in Comp/Lim can be engaged and its threshold can be
adjusted from the channel encoders. Channel Control provides
comprehensive control of Comp/Lim parameters.
To engage and adjust the built-in Comp/Lim from the channel
encoders:
1 Bank Input Channels and/or FX Returns.
2 Press the Comp Channel Encoder Assignment switch.
Comp/Lim threshold controls for the banked channels are as-
signed to the channel encoders.
3 Press a channel encoder In switch to toggle the Comp/Lim for
that channel in/out.
DY is shown in the channel encoder dis-
play when either of a channel’s built-in Dynamics processors
is engaged.
4 Rotate a channel encoder to adjust the Comp/Lim threshold for
that channel. The threshold setting is indicated in the display.
To engage and adjust the built-in Comp/Lim from Channel
Control:
1 Select one or more input channels.
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 Comp/Lim processor in/out.
5 Adjust the Channel Control encoders for the displayed param-
eters.
Exp/Gate
The built-in Exp/Gate can be controlled from Channel Control.
To engage and adjust Exp/Gate controls:
1 Select one or more channels.
2 Make sure the main Channel Control menu is shown in the
Channel Control displays.
3 Press the Channel Control encoder under the display showing
Exp/Gate. Expander/gate controls are now available on the
Channel Control encoders.
4 Press the In switch in the Channel Control Navigation section
to toggle the Exp/Gate processor in/out.
DY is shown in the
channel encoder display when either of a channel’s built-in
Dynamics processors is engaged.
5 Adjust the Channel Control encoders for the displayed param-
eters.
