16. GATE and 17. COMP function select
buttons
These two buttons allow you to choose if the knobs
adjust the compressor or the gate for the currently
selected channel. They will light with the pure joy of
being chosen.
The knobs perform different functions depending on
whether the gate or the compressor is selected. Some
become inactive, or at least take a break, put their feet
up and relax. Each knob is labeled above with the gate
controls and labeled below with the compressor con-
trols.
What the GATE and COMP buttons don’t do:
They do not turn the compressor or gate on or off.
These processors are in operation all the time, unless
BYPASS has been pressed.
They do not affect the buttons, such as EXP, BYPASS,
ON, SOFT KNEE, AUTO etc., as these can be selected at
any time.
Using the knobs to adjust the gate
Press GATE, then use these knobs to adjust the gate. (Use the labels above each knob.) If you press EXP to en-
gage the downward expander, then the RATIO knob sets the attenuation, not the RANGE knob.
Using the knobs to adjust the compressor
Press COMP, then use these knobs to adjust the compressor. (Use the labels below each knob.)
To reset all Gate or Compressor controls, hold both STORE and RECALL as you turn the power switch on. This
will also erase any snapshots you may have saved.
Poetry Corner:
If the gate knobs need a tweak,
then the GATE button you must seek,
For the compressor knobs to work,
use the COMP button in the bottom
left hand corner.
