User Manual

ADJUST-HIGH
Adjusts the high-frequency gain of the recording deck.
BIAS
Adjusts the bias of the recording deck. This allows you to control the distortion level. Turning
this control to the [LESS] side raises the signal level and boosts the high frequencies. Turning it
to the [OVER] side narrows the dynamic range and causes high-frequency saturation.
Reproduction Deck Controls
The reproduction deck controls are on the right side of the plug-in panel.
REPRODUCE
Adjusts the output level of the reproduction deck.
ADJUST-HIGH
Adjusts the high-frequency gain of the reproduction deck.
ADJUST-LOW
Adjusts the low-frequency gain of the reproduction deck.
Deck Meters
Depending on the setting of the [RECORD/REPRO] switch, the meters in the center of the plug-in
panel show the signal input to the recording deck or the signal output from the reproduction deck.
If this plug-in is added to a mono rack, only the top meter is used.
Adjusting the VU Meter Level
You can adjust the level assigned to 0VU on the meter. This is useful for more accurately monitoring
very low level signals. Use the following procedure.
. Turn on the [VU ADJUST] button at the bottom left of the plug-in panel.
. In the meter section, use the [VU ADJUST] control to set the 0VU level.
Tape Parameters
The tape parameter controls are at the bottom of the plug-in.
SPEED
Allows you to set the tape speed. This parameter changes the sound characteristics of the tape
head saturation. 30 ips (inches per second) provides better high-frequency response compared to
15 ips. 15 ips provides a rich low-frequency response.
TAPE KIND
This allows you to change the sound characteristics of the tape saturation.
