THRS Field
Encoder adjusts the threshold value between -40 db to +18db.
{IN} enables the GATE.
ATCK eld
Encoder adjusts the attack time in the range 10µS to 957mS.
{DUCK] sets the GATE to inverse mode (ducking mode). (Was {INV} in software prior to V4.7).
Engaging this button inverts the gain control function of the Gate and allows an external sidechain signal
to be used to reduce the level of the main channel signal, by the amount set using the RNG control, and
with the time constants set with the ATK, HOLD and REL controls.
HLD eld
Encoder adjusts the hold time in the range 2.2mS to 2S.
REL eld
Encoder adjusts the release time in the range 2.2mS to 3.7S.
RNG eld
Encoder adjusts the attenuation RNG value in the range 0 to -60dB.
{SC SOLO} switches the side-chain signal to the solo bus.
LO CUT
Encoder adjusts the frequency of the side-chain signal Lo Cut lter.
{IN} enables the Low cut lter.
HI CUT
Encoder adjusts the frequency of the side-chain signal Hi Cut lter.
{EXT Key} enables an external key signal, which is selected via the {KEY} key associated with the MODE
eld below; otherwise the internal signal is used for triggering the gate.
MODE eld
Encoder switches the operational mode between GATE or Deesser.
{Key} opens the key signal patch page -see chapter 10.
