Setting up the effects rack 45
XL8 Control Centre
Quick Reference Guide
Stereo Graphic EQ — basically,
two versions of the internal GEQ of
the XL8, but with the addition of a
LINK switch.
When both GEQs are linked
together, their faders move a
corresponding amount from the
positions they were in when initially
linked. So, although their
adjustment will be equal, their dB
values may be different. When unlinked, the GEQs are independent of each other.
Pitch Shifter — has two
independent channels that can
independently shift the pitch of
signals up/down to correct poor
pitching or generate harmonies. The
pitch change can also be modulated
as an effect.
SQ1 Dynamics — is an emulation
of the Klark Teknik Square ONE
Dynamics, which is an 8-channel
analogue dynamics processor. Used
for the precise manipulation of
compression parameters, it also
includes gating for creative and
corrective applications, and channel
linking for stereo/multi-channel
operation.
3 Band Compressor — is a
minimum phase shift (analogue
style) implementation that
guarantees coherent band summing,
even at the most extreme crossover
point settings. Each band provides
full control of its compressor’s
action, with partially adaptive time constants ensuring the most natural results from
even the most variable sources.
