Input Channels
This is the Parameter View page for the Input Channels.
GATE: The following Gate parameters for the currently selected Input Channel can be set:
Gate On/Off, Threshold, Range, Attack, Decay, and Hold. The GR meter indicates the
amount of gain reduction being applied by the Gate. Also displayed are the gate curve and
gate type. See “Gating Input Channels” on page 85 for more information.
COMP: The following Compressor parameters for the currently selected channel can be
set: Comp On/Off, Threshold, Ratio, Attack, Release, Gain, and Knee. The GR meter indi-
cates the amount of gain reduction being applied by the Compressor. Also displayed are the
comp curve and comp type. See “Compressing Channels” on page 137 for more informa-
tion.
INSERT: The currently selected channel’s Insert can be turned on and off and patched. See
“Using Inserts” on page 135 for more information.
EQ: The currently selected channel’s EQ and Attenuator can be set. Also displayed is the EQ
curve of the currently selected Input Channel. See “Using EQ” on page 131 for more infor-
mation.
Meters: These meters indicate the levels of the currently selected channel and its horizon-
tal or vertical partner.
Phase: The signal phase of the currently selected Input Channel can be reversed. See
“Reversing the Signal Phase” on page 84 for more information.
DELAY: The currently selected channel’s Delay function can be set. See “Delaying Channel
Signals” on page 141 for more information.
PAIR: This heart icon indicates whether or not channels are paired. See “Pairing Channels”
on page 144 for more information.
