UAD Powered Plug-Ins - 136 - Precision Multiband
Note: Relative mode is not available for the Type parameter because the
available Type values are discrete. Click and shift-click both activate Absolute
mode for Type.
Absolute Link
In Absolute mode, changes to a band control will force the same control
in the other bands to snap to the same value as the current band.
Shift-click the ALL button to enter Absolute mode; the button background
changes to red.
In Absolute mode the Gain value can also be adjusted by dragging the Gain
“handle” in the EQ Display (see “EQ Display” on page 139).
Note: No change occurs to the parameter values unless the control is actually
moved. This allows you turn off absolute linking without making any changes.
Copy
Ctrl-click the ALL button when it is NOT in Relative or Absolute modes
(not blue or red) to copy the current value of the active band control to
the same control value in the other bands.
Note: Careful with the control Copy function! It will delete the existing values
in the other bands, and no undo is available.
Type Switch The Type button defines the dynamic nature of the band, allow-
ing each band to function as a compressor, expander, or noise
gate, independent of the Type value in the other bands.
Click the Type switch to scroll through the three available values.
The Type text (compress, expand, gate) behaves as a vertical “slider” and
can be used for changing the Type as well. Alternately, the Type can be
changed using the Dynamics Meters label text (see “Dynamics Meters” on
page 142).
Note: When changing the band Type, the Ratio value for the band changes
to 1:1. This prevents dramatic jumps in the output level that could result from
extreme values of other band parameters.
