Compressor (D zone)

For the outputs, the dynamic section (D zone) only has a compressor in the output

channel signal path. As the D zone is also used for the gate on the input channels,

some controls may be redundant.

The output channel compressor has five styles — corrective, adaptive, creative, vintage

and shimmer — which are selectable via the MODE button. Each has a distinctive

appearance in the GUI channel strip. While the dynamic section is addressing the

compressor, all of its controls are enabled except the hold control knob.

For details of the compressor graph, see “Compressor graph” on page 292.

The side chain is similar to the one used for the input channels, see “Side chain” on

page 296.

Item Control Function

1 DYN switch Enables the compressor in the signal path. When

switched off, compressor is bypassed. See

Figure 39 on page 319.

2 listen LED To aid set up, the compressor has a side chain listen

that sends the side chain onto a solo bus. This side

chain listen LED indicator illuminates to warn you

that soloed material is from the side chain, and not

the main channel. See Figure 39 on page 319.
