Sens (De-esser Sensitivity)
Adjust the degree to which the de-esser effect will
affect the input signal.
Freq (De-esser Frequency)
Adjust the frequency at which the de-esser effect will
apply. The effect will apply to frequencies above the
specified value.
Lmt (Compressor/Limiter)
Depending on the setting of the parameters, this effect
can be used as a compressor or as a limiter. A com-
pressor holds down high-level signals and boosts low-
level signals, evening out the volume. A limiter is used
when you wish to hold down excessive input levels.
Sw (Switch)
Turn the Compressor/Limiter on/off.
Thrsh (Threshold)
Adjust the level at which the effect will begin to apply.
To use this effect as a limiter, set a high Threshold
Level.
Ratio
Select the compression ratio that will apply when the
Threshold Level is exceeded. When using the effect as
a limiter, you will normally set this to “100:1.”
Attack (Attack Time)
Adjust the time from when the input level exceeds the
threshold level to when the effect begins to apply.
When using the effect as a limiter, set a short Attack
Time.
Release
Adjust the time from when the input level drops
below the threshold level to when the effect ceases to
apply. When using the effect as a limiter, set a short
Release Time.
Level
Adjust the output level.
Detect HPF Freq (Frequency)
Adjust the cutoff frequency of the level detection sec-
tion. With a setting of Thru, this will operate as a con-
ventional limiter.
Detect (Detector in)
This is used to select the input source which INPUT A
or INPUT B that is to be used for controlling the effect.
Set it to “Link” if you want the unit to detect which
input source is of a higher level and automatically use
that source for control.
Enh (Enhancer)
The enhancer is an effect that adds phase-shifted
sound to the direct sound, sharpening the focus of the
sound and bringing it to the front of the mix.
Sw (Switch)
Turn the Enhancer on/off.
Sens (Sensitivity)
Adjust the degree of the enhancer effect relative to the
input volume.
Freq (Frequency)
Adjust the frequency at which the effect will begin to
apply. The effect will apply to frequencies above the
specified value.
MixLvl (Mix Level)
Adjust the amount of the phase-shifted sound that is
mixed into the input.
Level
Adjust the level of the effect sound.
Rot (Rotary)
Rotary is an effect that simulates a rotary speaker. This
produces the characteristic sound of two rotating
speakers (a high rotor and a low rotor).
LRate (Low Rate)
Adjust the rotating rate of the low-range rotor.
HRate (High Rate)
Adjust the rotating rate of the high-range rotor.
