Item Control Function
1 Metering selection Metering shows either Input, Gain Reduction or Output.
2 Input Gain control Adjust the input gain to the compressor for more distortion characteristics if desired.
3 Time Constant control
P1 Attack=200 µs Release=300 ms P2 Attack=200 µs Release=800 ms P3 Attack=400ms
Release=2 sec, P4 Attack=800 ms Release=5 sec P5 Attack=200 Release is Program dependant P6
A400 R Program Dependant.
4 Balance control
Adjusts the release characteristic of the compression by creating either an asymmetrical positive or
negative DC bias.
5 D.C. Bias control
This control changes the knee of the compressor, hard knee when the control is fully CCW, through
to soft knee when fully CW.
6 Thresh control Adjust the level at which compression takes place.
7 Output control Adjusts the output of the compressor to allow level matching.
8 Mix control Adjusts the Wet/Dry blend of compression for parallel compression eects.
9 On/O switch Turns the eect on or o.
10 LAT/VERT switch
In this mode, the 670 splits the two channels via a matrixing network, separately limits them,
then recombines them through another matrix to reconstitute the stereo signal. This method of
processing allowed the 670 to maximize the use of the stereo space, making mixes louder with
less distortion.
Smart Dynamics Processor
The Smart Dynamic Processor is based on adaptive signal processing techniques which are able to simplify the user workow, without compromising sound quality
and versatility. In particular, the Smart Dynamics Processor is an intelligent dynamic range processor based on the Midas Channel Compressor and is therefore
characterized by the same unique sound signature. It can operate in two dierent processing modes: smart transient mode or smart loudness mode.
The Smart Transient mode is designed to work on the envelope of transient sounds, like drums or slap bass, and modify its dierent components in order to achieve the
desired sonic result.
When operating in this mode, 4 dierent Semantic Controls associated with the desired sonic result are available:
• • the Snap control, insert space which can be used to amplify or to reduce the attack component of a transient signal;
• • the Sustain control, which can be used to amplify or to reduce the sustain component;
• • the Balance control allows the blending of the dry signal with processed signal in order to get either a more natural or enhanced sound;
• • the Output level controls can be used to correct the nal output level and avoid clipping.
