APPENDIX 12
The Crossover (X Over) page also shows the IO response curves for the Gate,
Expander, and Compressor in the upper part of the display area, but with the
band gain sliders re-positioned to the right of each band’s IO curves.
A Solo button is provided next to each band’s Gain slider. Once the Solo button
is engaged, only the output of that band is heard. For example, it can be very
useful to listen to the band being adjusted when setting the attack and release
times. Distortions caused by incorrectly set (usually too fast) attack and release
times will become much more audible, and can then be corrected as needed.
Below the IO response curves, there is a large frequency response display area.
By clicking on the In/Out/Dyn buttons to the right of this you can show the
overall frequency response in real time of the input, or of the output, or of the
total dynamics e ect, displayed on top of a graphic illustration of the crossover
frequencies. You can adjust these crossover frequencies by simply clicking and
dragging on the graph.
In the lower half of the display, there are controls for the dynamics processors
in each of the four frequency bands. Arranged in columns, there are sliders that
can be used to adjust the Threshold, the Range, and Hold for the Gate (or the
Ratio and Range for the Expander, or the Ratio and Knee for the Compressor),
the Attack, and the Release times for each dynamics processor. Beneath these
sliders, there are three buttons that let you select which dynamics processor’s
