Included Effect Plug-ins

Dynamics Plug-ins

Soft Knee

If this button is deactivated, signals below the threshold are expanded

instantly according to the set ratio (hard knee). If Soft Knee is activated, the

onset of expansion is more gradual, producing less drastic results.

Fall (0.1 to 100 ms)

Determines how fast the expander responds to signals below the set

threshold. If the fall time is long, more of the early part of the signal passes

through unprocessed.

Hold (0 to 2000 ms)

Sets the time the applied expansion affects the signal below the threshold.

Rise (10 to 1000 ms or Auto mode)

Sets the time after which the gain returns to its original level when the signal

exceeds the threshold. If the Auto button is activated, the plug-in

automatically finds the best rise setting for the audio material.

Analysis (Pure Peak to Pure RMS)

Determines whether the input signal is analyzed according to peak or RMS

values, or a mixture of both. A value of 0 is pure peak and 100 pure RMS. RMS

mode operates using the average power of the audio signal as a basis,

whereas Peak mode operates more on peak levels. As a general guideline,

RMS mode works better on material with few transients such as vocals, and

Peak mode works better for percussive material with a lot of transient peaks.

Live

If this button is activated, the look-ahead feature of the effect is deactivated.

Look-ahead produces more accurate processing, but adds a certain amount

of latency as a trade-off. If Live mode is activated, there is no latency, which

is better for live processing.

NOTE

If side-chaining is supported, the expansion can also be controlled from another

signal source via the side-chain input. If the side-chain signal exceeds the threshold,

the expansion is triggered. For a description of how to set up side-chain routing, see

the “Operation Manual”.

Gate

Gating, or noise gating, silences audio signals below a set threshold. As soon as

the signal level exceeds the threshold, the gate opens to let the signal through.
