C KNEE
This sets the sharpness of the angle at which the out-
put level will change. A setting of HARD produces
the sharpest angle, and a setting of SOFT5 produces
the softest angle.
D INPUT COMP LIBRARY (Input compressor
library)
This button accesses the COMP LIBRARY window,
where you can store/recall compressor settings
(→p.182).
E LINK ON/OFF (key-in link)
This specify whether the key-in signals will link com-
pressor operation for adjacent odd-numbered →
even-numbered channels (link=on), or whether the
compressors will operate with independent key-in
signals (link=off).
• Key-in signal flow when link=on
• Key-in signal flow when link=off
• Be careful not to confuse “compressor link” with
“stereo pairing of input channels.” Turning on com-
pressor link simply causes the compressors to be
linked by the key-in signal; the compressor parame-
ters themselves can be set independently for each
channel.
• When input channels are used as a stereo pair, com-
pressor link will automatically be turned on, and the
compressor parameter values will also be linked.
However you are free to subsequently turn linking
off and modify the parameter values.
F SELECT (Key-in select)
Select the key-in signal from the following choices.
• SELF PRE EQ
Pre-EQ signal of the currently selected input channel
• SELF POST EQ
Pre-compressor signal of the currently selected input
channel
• LEFT CH
The signal from the previously-numbered input
channel (the same signal as the SELF POST EQ of the
previous channel)
If you select LEFT CH, the post- INPUT FILTER
signal of the previously-numbered channel will be
the key-in signal. However, please be aware that the
INPUT FILTER will not function unless COMP is
on.
• KEY IN 1–KEY IN 4
Signal of the input channel selected in the respective
CH SELECT menu
If input channel 1 or the L channel of a ST IN chan-
nel is selected, the LEFT CH button will not be dis-
played.
Nor will it be displayed for paired channels.
