❏ COMPRESSOR (except for FX RTN channels)

A Compressor graph

Indicates the approximate response for the compressor of the currently selected channel.

B GR meter

This meter indicates the amount of gain reduction produced by the compressor.

C TYPE

Indicates the type of the currently selected compressor.

D THRESHOLD (Threshold level)

Speciﬁes the threshold level at which the compressor will operate. The input signal will start being compressed

when the key-in signal exceeds this level; compression will be removed when the signal falls below this level.

E RATIO

Speciﬁes the ratio at which the input signal will be compressed when the key-in signal exceeds the threshold.

F KNEE/WIDTH

If the TYPE is COMP or EXPANDER, you can set the KNEE. The KNEE is the abruptness with which the output

level will change. You can choose from HARD and 1–5.

If the TYPE is COMPANDER H or COMPANDER S, you can set the WIDTH. The WIDTH is the spread between

the boundary level of the compressor effect (THRESHOLD) and the boundary level of the expander effect. The

expander effect will apply to levels that are lower than THRESHOLD+WIDTH.

G ATTACK (Attack time)

Speciﬁes the time from when the key-in signal exceeds the threshold level until the signal starts being compressed.

H RELEASE (Release time)

Speciﬁes the time from when the key-in signal falls below the threshold level until compression is removed.

I GAIN

Adjusts the gain of the signal after it has passed through the compressor.

J ON (On/off)

This button switches the compressor on/off.

K LIBRARY

This button accesses the compressor library. Clicking this button will open the COMP page of the LIBRARY win-

dow.

L LINK (Stereo link)

This button links the parameter settings and key-in signals of adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered input

channels or the L/R sides of a ST IN channel, so that compression will operate in tandem for the two channels.
