Input functions
140
3 Input channel number and short name
This shows the number, the short name, and the
pairing status of the currently selected input channel.
You can click the heart symbol to enable/defeat pair-
ing.
4 Typ e
This indicates the type of the currently selected gate.
Hint
Normally, you will switch the gate type by recalling a
different type of gate in the GATE LIBRARY window.
It is not possible to change the type in this screen.
5 GATE ON/OFF
This button switches the gate on/off.
6 Graph
This is a graph showing the settings of the various
gate parameters.
7 THRESHOLD (threshold level)
This sets the nominal level at which the gate will
open or close. When the key-in signal exceeds this
level, the gate will open. When the key-in signal falls
below this level, the gate will close.
8 AT TACK (attack time)
This sets the time from when the key-in signal
exceeds the threshold level until the gate opens.
9 HOLD (hold time)
This sets the time that the gate will remain open after
the key-in signal falls below the threshold.
0 DECAY (decay time)
This sets the time from when the specified hold time
has elapsed until the gate closes.
A RANGE
This sets the amount of attenuation while the gate is
closed.
B INPUT GATE LIBRARY
This button accesses the GATE LIBRARY window,
where you can store/recall gate settings (→p.180).
C KEY IN CUE
This button monitors the key-in signal of the selected
input channel.
D LINK ON/OFF (key-in sync)
This specifies whether the operation of the compres-
sor will be linked via the key-in signal for adjacent
odd-numbered → even-numbered input channels
(link=on) or whether they will operate using sepa-
rate key-in signals (link=off).
• Key-in signal flow when link=on
• Key-in signal flow when link=off
