Phase Invert
Phase Invert inverts the phase (polarity) of the
signal, so that all negative parts of the signal’s wave-
form become positive and vice versa. is is useful
to correct issues where for example a microphone
cable has been miswired and the polarity inverted.
It may (or may not) also improve the result when
combining two microphones that are picking up the
same sound source, such as top and bottom micro-
phones on a drum or several microphones on the
same guitar cabinet. When Phase Invert is active,
the LED next to the button lights up, and it is also
indicated in the On-Screen Display.
Fine Adjust/Shift
Holding the Fine Adjust/Shift button will make
any settings you can adjust with a knob move in
smaller increments. You can see the dierence by
following the numeric setting of a parameter in the
On-Screen Display while holding and releasing the
Fine Adjust button.
By adjusting a knob slowly it will automatically be ad-
justed with smaller increments, just like the “Fine Adjust”
mode. If you need even better resolution, just move the
knob slowly while holding “Fine Adjust”.
Holding Fine Adjust/Shift also gives you access
to all functions screen printed in orange on the
hardware.

Screen Display.
is useful for removing
unwanted hiss from signals
that do not have very much
high frequency content
anyways.
It is of course entirely
possible to use the High
and Low Cut lters in
a more creative man-
ner—to not just clean up
unwanted rumble and
hiss, but to actually aect
the sound source to better
t in the mix. e slope
and character of the High
Cut and Low Cut lters
are determined by what
channel strip has been
loaded into the track. So
in the case of the included
SSL SL4000E, the High
and Low Cut lters are
modeled o that console.
We have however extended
their working range quite
radically.
With the Low Cut knob
turned fully counterclock-
wise, the lter is entirely
bypassed. In a similar man-
ner, the same applies to the High Cut lter when
its knob is turned fully clockwise.
Filters to Compressor
By pressing the Filters to Compressor button, the
High and Low Cut lters will no longer aect the
sound source directly, but instead the sidechain
signal of the compressor. Read more about this in
“Filtering the Compressor Sidechain” on page 33.
