Reference Manual

Using dynamics

Input channels feature two dynamics processors; output channels feature one dynamics

processor.

NOTE

• The DYNAMICS 1/2 field on the OVERVIEW screen displays the dynamics on/off status and the

amount of gain reduction.

• Dynamics settings can be saved and recalled at any time using the dedicated library. You can

also take advantage of a wide variety of presets suitable for various instruments or situations.

• You can also access the SELECTED CHANNEL VIEW screen, and use the knobs in the

SELECTED CHANNEL section to edit the dynamics settings (page 10).

• Even when the DYNAMICS 1/2 window is displayed, you can use the knobs in the SELECTED

CHANNEL section to control the dynamics.

DYNAMICS 1/2 window (1ch)

All dynamics parameters can be viewed and edited by channel. This is convenient when you

want to make detailed dynamics settings for a specific channel.

1 LIBRARY button

Press this button to open the DYNAMICS Library window.

2 DEFAULT button

Press this button to reset all dynamics parameters to the initial values.

3 COPY button

All dynamics parameter settings will be copied in buffer memory.

4 PASTE button

Press this button to apply the settings in buffer memory to the current dynamics. If no

valid data has been copied in the buffer memory, nothing will happen.

5 COMPARE button

Press this button to swap between the current dynamics settings and the data stored in

buffer memory. If no valid data has been copied in the buffer memory, nothing will

happen.

NOTE

For details on how to use buttons 1 - 5, refer to “Using the tool buttons” in the separate Owner’s

Manual.

6 Channel icon/Channel number/Channel name

This area indicates the icon, number, and name of the currently-selected channel.

STEP

1. Use the Bank Select keys to select the channel for which you want to control the

dynamics.

2. Press the DYNAMICS 1/2 field in the OVERVIEW screen.

3. Press the 1 ch tab in the DYNAMICS1/2 window.

4. Press the DYNAMICS ON button, and adjust the dynamics parameters.
