Specifications

Mode (51)
Default Value: Solera
8 different detection modes are available:
•
Solera:
The Attack setting also controls the integration time for RMS detection. When "Auto" is engaged for the delay
value, the produced attack time is zero.
•
Solera Feed Backward:
The Attack setting also controls the integration time for RMS detection which is done on the
output of the processor. This mode disables the Delay feature. Note also that the Solera Feed Backward prevents to use
the external side chain because it's the processed signal which feed the side chain.
•
Classic Fast:
The integration time for RMS detection is 10 ms with no direct relation with the Attack setting. But when
"Auto" is engaged for the delay value, the produced attack time is zero.
•
Classic Medium:
The integration time for RMS detection is 36 ms with no direct relation with the Attack setting. But when
"Auto" is engaged for the delay value, the produced attack time is zero.
•
Classic Slow:
The integration time for RMS detection is 100 ms with no direct relation with the Attack setting. But when
"Auto" is engaged for the delay value, the produced attack time is zero.
•
Classic Feed Backward Fast:
The integration time is 10 ms for RMS detection which is done on the output of the
processor. This mode disables the Delay feature.
•
Classic Feed Backward Medium:
The integration time is 36 ms for RMS detection which is done on the output of the
processor. This mode disables the Delay feature.
•
Classic Feed Backward Slow:
The integration time is 100ms for RMS detection which is done on the output of the
processor.This mode disables the Delay feature.
These Feed Backward modes have been inspired by vintage hardware architectures. they create a sort of auto regulation of
the processing which produces a naturally beefy sound.
Attack (52)
Unit: ms - Value Range: 1.45 ms to 544.22 ms
Default Value: 10.16 ms
Sets the attack time of the processing envelop. It also controls the manner the RMS value is computed from the incoming
signal in Solera modes.
Hold (53)
Unit: ms - Value Range: 0 ms / 500 ms.
Default Value: 0 ms
This parameter is the only one in the time related settings, that is independent per dynamic processor. The
compressor and the expander may have different hold time.
Used the Expander section, this setting allows very precise gating of drum tracks. It can also be used for creative purpose on
the other dynamic sections.
Release Mode (54)
Default Value: Auto
Three release modes are available for the envelop of the dynamic processing.
•
Manual
corresponds to the value you have set.
•
Auto
enables our specific algorithm to generate a signal dependent value to avoid typical pumping effects.
•
Advanced
gives access to two different values for release and to the control of the velocity of the variations between the
