Component Glossary
Adjustable Gc (AdjustGc)
One type of filter characteristic. With this setting, you can adjust Gc (gain on the cutoff frequency)
between -6 dB and +6 dB. If you set -3 dB it becomes a Butterworth filter. If you set -6 dB, it becomes
Linkwitz-Riley filter.
Attack (Attack Time)
In dynamic components, sets the time period for compressing or expanding the signal after the
component operates. As the attack time is made faster, compression or expansion becomes more
instantaneous. As it is made slower, the initial attack part of the sound will not be compressed or
expanded.
Bessel
One type of filter characteristic. For curves where phase characteristics are important, Bessel has
gentler attenuation then Butterworth, and there is little distortion of the waveform when square waves
are passed through.
Butterworth (Butrwrth)
One type of filter characteristics. This filter has the most general characteristics. The pass band is flat
and the gain for the cutoff frequency is -3 dB.
Bypass
Passes the signal without changing it. When you turn this ON, bypassed sound (unchanged sound) is
output. When you turn this OFF, the sound is output with effects applied.
Decay (Decay Time)
Sets the time period until gain returns to normal after a trigger signal level falls below the threshold
value.
Delay
Sets the time period by which a signal is delayed.
Delay Scale
Sets the units used for specifying the delay time.
Divergence
Sets the ratio for sending the center signal to LR. When 100 percent is set, the signal will be sent to LR
only. When zero percent is set, the signal is sent to center only.
