Transpressor
Comp Pre
Use this push button to switch the processing order: when engaged, the signal passes first
through the compressor and then through the Transient Designer.
Normally, the processing order ought to be with the Transient Designer first and the
compressor second (even if only to better control the signal level). Nevertheless, whenever
there is a need for a more extreme compression, you can always emphasize the dynamic
structure with the Transient Designer placed after the compressor. There is, however, no
general rule regarding the processing order so we have left all options open.
Link Slave
Use this push button to activate the SLAVE modus. The Transpressor is designed as a single
channel unit. Use the LINK modus for stereo processing with two units. When linked, the
settings on one of the units apply to both units. The unit that is in control is called “Master”;
the other one “Slave”. Please refer to “Stereo Link/Slave“ on page 11 to learn more about how
to link the units.
Consider the following when using the MASTER and SLAVE modes:
• The unit set as SLAVE receives all control signals from the “Master”.
• Besides all parameter settings, the TD ON, COMP ON and COMP PRE buttons on the
“Master” also affect the “Slave”.
• Detector settings (EXT SC, OFF, FILTER and FILTER 1, 2, 3) are not transferred from
“Master” to “Slave”.
• The position of the PARALLEL MIX control is not transferred from “Master” to “Slave”.
• The GR meter as well as the AUTO function for the ATTACK and RELEASE are deactivated
on the “Slave”.
• In order to avoid mistakes during normal operation, the LINK SLAVE push button has no
effect as long as there is no “Master” connected to the unit.
• The button will start blinking if you engage it without a “Master” being connected.
• As soon as you connect a “Master” the button will remain permanently lit.
• The button will also start blinking if you engage it on a unit that is already working as
“Master”. However, if, at the same time, you were to deactivate the Slave mode on the
other unit you would be effectively switching the roles of both processors. The unit that
used to be the “Slave” will now control the former “Master”. This change of status of the
units can be easily done and requires no special precautions.
