Expander/Gate (green knobs)
• The expander’s Threshold is variable from -30 dB to +10 dB.
• Range is variable from 0 dB to 40 dB.
• When the Attack Time switch is set to Slow (F.ATK off) attack time is auto-sensing and program-dependent; Fast setting
(F.ATK) attack time is 1 ms.
• Release Time is adjustable from 0.1 second to 4 seconds.
• The Gate switch toggles the section from an expander (default mode) to a gate.
Gain Reduction Meters
There are two LED meters in the dynamics section:
• Green: gate gain reduction
• Yellow: compressor gain reduction
Dyn To
• Bypass bypasses the entire dynamics section. Bypass removes the dynamics from the CPU for
better performance and track count.
• Ch Out moves the dynamics to the output of the E-Channel, making it post-EQ.
