APPENDIX B: FX TRACK PARAMETERS

REL (Release) sets the time of the compressor release phase, i.e., how long it takes for the compression

to recover in quieter moments. The time is set in seconds. Range (0.1–2, A1 or A2). A1 and A2 are two

types of auto release phases, (A2) being slightly longer than (A1).

MUP (Makeup Gain) sets the makeup gain of the compressor output, to compensate for the reduced

signal levels caused by compression. (0–127)

RAT (Compression Ratio) There are four dierent compression ratios, 1:2, 1:4, 1:8 and MAX. Higher ratios

result in greater compression of the signal.

SEQ (Sidechain EQ) ﬁlters the signal before it is analyzed by the compressor in one of the following

ways:

• OFF lets the sidechain signal remain unchanged.

• LPF lowpass ﬁlters the signal before analysis, making the compressor react mostly to the bass. Use

this setting for a characteristic pumping compressor sound.

• HPF passes the signal through a highpass ﬁlter before it is analyzed, making the compressor react

less to the bass. Use this setting to avoid pumping.

• HIT results in a balanced equalization of the sidechain signal, making the compressor react similarly

to all frequencies of the signal.

MIX (Dry/Wet Mix) sets the mix of the uncompressed signal and the compressor output signal. The left

extreme setting results in a completely uncompressed signal. The extreme right setting lets only the

compressed signal pass through. All values in between mix the uncompressed signal with the com-

pressed signal, also known as parallel compression. A deﬁnitive Motown compression eect may be

achieved at moderate MIX settings combined with high RAT and low MUP settings. (0–127)

VOL (Volume) sets the volume of the output signal. (0–127)

B.5 FX LFO

The FX track LFO page parameters are shown and explained below.

LFO

SPD (Speed) sets the speed of the LFO. For the LFO to be synced to straight beats, try settings of 8, 16

or 32. The knob is bi-polar. The LFO cycle can be played backward by using negative values. (64–+63)

MUL (Multiplier) multiplies the SPD parameter by the set factor. (x) multiplies the current tempo, (dot)

syncs the LFO to 120 BPM regardless of the tempo. 24 settings: (12 tempo synced, 12 free).

FAD (Fade In/Out) makes it possible to fade in/fade out the LFO modulation. The knob is bipolar. Positive

values give a fade-out, negative values give a fade-in. A mid position (0) will result in no fade in/fade out.

(64–+63)

DST (Destination) selects the destination for the LFO. A list will appear when you turn the knob. Choose

a parameter from any of the parameter pages. Turn the knob clockwise to go down the list, counter-

clockwise to go up. Preview how the LFO modulation will aect the sound by highlighting a destination.

Conﬁrm a selection by pressing [YES].

WAV (Waveform) sets the LFO waveform. There are seven waveforms: Triangle, Sine, Square, Sawtooth,

Exponential, Ramp, and Random.

SPH (Start Phase) sets the wave phase where the LFO will start when it is trigged. (0–127) 0 is the start

of a complete wave cycle, and 127 is the end point. 64 is the dead center.

MOD (Trig Mode) sets how the LFO will act when a note is trigged. Five settings exist.

• FREE is the default free-running mode. It makes the LFO run continuously, never restarting or stop-

ping.

• TRIG makes the LFO restart when a note is trigged.
