Output processing
All outputs — except for the returns — have a six-band PEQ with shelving modes on
bands 1, 2 and 6, and have the option of using a GEQ (accessed via a GEQ button in
GUI channel strip). The returns have a similar EQ to that of the inputs channels.
The outputs (except returns) have five compressor modes, which include all of the ones
on the input channels, but with the addition of a shimmer mode. The returns have the
same compressor modes as those of the input channels.
