On your controller the outputs available in the
SOURCE
parameter are labeled as in the display of
the
Source
selector described above.
For more information on how to use the side-chain input, please refer to section
Level Meters in the Compressor Panel (Plug-in Strip)
In the Plug-in Strip, the Compressor panel offers a few extra features not available in the Con-
trol area:
▪
The
Threshold
and
Gain
faders (corresponding to the
Threshold
and
Gain
parameters of the
Main
page in the Control area) provide level meters for visual monitoring of the input and
output levels. In particular, by comparing the input level with the position of the
Threshold
fader, you can easily see you which parts of the signal will be compressed, and adjust the
Threshold
fader accordingly.
▪
An additional
GR
level meter indicates the gain reduction currently applied by the Compres-
sor to the input signal.
15.1.2 Gate
The Gate cuts any part of the input signal which falls below the input threshold. This can be
used to rhythmically chop the signal and make it stutter or sound staccato.
If this effect is used in a Sound or a Group, it also provides a Side-Chain Input page (in the
Control area and on your controller).
