6. External Key Input Selector (Pro Tools only) — Selects externally derived signal to the
sidechain input.
7. Soft Ratio Selector — Selects soft ratio starting threshold in 5dB steps to –20dB below
threshold control setting.
8. RATIO — Controls the ratio of the compressor and expander processes. It is inoperative
in limiter and gate functions.
9. THRESHOLD — Controls the threshold of compressor or limiter function as selected.
10. ATTACK — Controls the attack time of compressor or limiter function as selected
11. HOLD— Controls the hold time of compressor or limiter function as selected
12. RELEASE — Controls the release time of compressor or limiter function as selected
13. MAKE-UP — Applies gain make-up to a maximum of +24dBr only when the
compressor is operative.
14. Gain Reduction Meters — Separate metering displays for relative gain reduction
contributions of both compressor (COMP) and limiter (LIMIT). Note that the overall gain
reduction at any time is the larger of these contributions.
15. SONNOX Button — Provides access to option menu items:
Allows selection of circular or conventional mouse control. Additionally, overload light
recovery times of 2 or 5 seconds may be selected to allow easier operation and overload
monitoring within the dynamics function.
