3 TIME CONSTANT knob
Switches the attack and release time. The settings are as follows.
4 THRESHOLD knob
Adjusts the level at which enhancement begins. Signals below the THRESHOLD are
attenuated.
5 PROCESS ACTIVE indicator
This indicator is lit when the input signal exceeds the THRESHOLD. Adjust the
THRESHOLD so that this indicator is lit when the primary audio source is being input,
and unlit during periods of silence or between phrases.
6 DEPTH knob
Adjusts the amount of attenuation for signals below the THRESHOLD.
U76
U76 is a processor that emulates a popular vintage compressor used in a wide range of
situations. This processor does not provide the threshold parameter that is found on
conventional compressors. Instead, the intensity of compression is determined by the
balance between the input gain and the output gain. The “All mode” setting for the RATIO
parameter allows you to create a heavily-compressed sound that is typical of this model. It
produces an aggressive tonal character with a rich addition of overtones.
1 INPUT knob
Adjusts the input level. As the input level gets higher, more compression is applied.
2 ATTACK knob
Adjusts the compressor’s attack time. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to set the fastest
attack time.
3 RELEASE knob
Adjusts the compressor’s release time. Fully rotate the knob clockwise to set the fastest
release time.
4 RATIO switch buttons
Use these five buttons to set the compression ratio.
A button with a higher number will raise the compression ratio more. Pressing the ALL
button selects All mode, in which the RATIO will become high, and sharp compression
with a faster release time will be applied, creating substantially-distorted aggressive
sound.
5 METER switch buttons
Switch the meter display.
GR.................Indicates the amount of gain reduction applied by the compressor.
+4/+8.............Each meter uses -18 dB as the reference level of the output signal, and
indicates “0VU” for the value of the reference level added by +4 dB or
+8 dB.
OFF...............Turns off the meter display.
6 OUTPUT knob
Adjusts the output level.
If you have adjusted the amount of gain reduction by changing the INPUT knob, the
level of audible volume will also change. In this case, use the OUTPUT knob to adjust
the volume level.
