3-Band Compressor eect
The 3-band Compressor eect 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.

Item Control Function
1 In button Switches the stereo 3-band compressor in/out. It has an adjacent LED (yellow) for in/out indication.
2 Threshold control knob
This control is in the Lo, Mid and Hi sections, and is used for setting the threshold at which
compression begins. Range is from -50 dB to +25 dB.
3 Ratio control knob
This control is in the Lo, Mid and Hi sections, and is used for setting the compression ratio. Range is
from 25:1 to 1:1.
4 Make-Up control knob
This control is in the Lo, Mid and Hi sections, and is used for boosting the output level of the
compressed signal. Range is from 0 dB to +24 dB.
5 Release control knob
This control is in the Lo, Mid and Hi sections, and is used for setting the release time of the
compressor. Range is from 0.05sec to 3sec.
6 Attack control knob
This control is in the Lo, Mid and Hi sections, and is used for setting the speed of the onset of
compression once the threshold has been exceeded. Range is from 0.2ms to 50ms.
7 SOLO button
This control is in the Lo, Mid and Hi sections, and is used for listening to the compressor’s sidechain
lter. It has an adjacent LED (yellow) for on/o indication.
8 Three-section meter This has individual meter elements for input (In), gain reduction (GR) and output (Out).
9 Soft Link button Links the left and right channels. It has an adjacent LED (yellow) for on/o indication.
10 Global Knee control knob Sets the rate of transition across the threshold.Range is from 4 to 40.
11 Lo Mid Freq control knob Sets the crossover point between the Lo and Mid compressors. Range is from 40 Hz to 1 kHz.
12 Hi Mid Freq control knob Sets the crossover point between the Mid and Hi compressors. Range is from 640 Hz to 16 kHz.

Submonster
The Submonster is a sub-harmonic synthesiser eect which boosts the low
frequencies of an audio signal by generating an additional signal an octave
below a given frequency range. The aim of this eect is to add low end to a
signal which may have weaker low frequency content, or to generally increase
the bass frequencies.
The Submonster works particularly well on drum tracks, especially bass drums,
and when applied to an overall mix. When placed on individual instruments
it can create a sub-octave doubling eect, which works well when applied to
monophonic sounds. The eect has ve tunable bands of sub-octave synthesis,
each with its own gain control. The frequencies on which the bands are centred
are controlled using the tune parameter, which controls all ve bands’ centre
frequencies to reduce overlap.
The tune parameter ranges from 10 Hz to 30 Hz which corresponds to the
frequency of the lowest generated sub-harmonic band, with each subsequent
band having a minimum and maximum frequency of 1.5x the previous band’s
minimum and maximum frequency. This gives a total range of sub-harmonic
synthesis between 10 Hz and 150 Hz.
DN60 Spectrum Analyser
The function of an audio spectrum analyser is to separate the components of any
audio signal into dened frequency bands, and to indicate the level of energy
present in each of those bands. The Spectrum Analyser eect provides this
functionality across 31 discreet bands, and can also be used for multichannel
processing by allowing for switchable inputs for complete exibility. The display
has two banks of meter graphs, each with a set of eight input switches, allowing
any of the eight inputs to be routed to either graph in any combination.
