MD 5.1
English Manual 87
Setting a channel to unprocessed will preserve
the processing delay through the algorithm,
keeping the channel time-aligned to the other
(processed) channels.
Side Chain Control
Range – for the five main channels:
– Unprocessed
– Side Chain 1
– Side Chain 2
– Side Chain 3
Range – for the LFE channel:
– Unprocessed
– LFE

MD 5.1 algorithm – side chain feed page
The side chain feed page holds parameters
specifying which Input channels should feed the
three Sidechains.
Normal
Range: Off / On
When this parameter is set to “On” the Input
channels selected to be controlled by the re-
spective sidechain will also input to the side-
chain.
Add 1, Add 2 and Add 3
Range: Off, LFr Max, RFr Max, Cnt Max, LSr
Max, RSr Max, Xt Max, LFr Sum, RFr Sum,
Cnt Sum, LSr Sum, RSr Sum, Xt Sum.
These parameters enable extra channels to be
assigned to the respective Sidechain Input. The
extra Sidechain Input channels will not be pro-
cessed by the sidechain.
The Sum settings will add the Input to the side-
chain, whereas the Max settings only will con-
tribute to the sidechain if the level exceeds the
other Input channel levels.

Pressing Threshold, Range, Ratio, Attack and
Release keys will immediately assign Lo, Mid, Hi,
All and LFE values for these parameters to Fad-
ers 1 to 4.
Be aware that the range of the All parameter is
relative to the settings of the same parameters in
the Compressor section.
Threshold
Range: -50 to 0 dB (in 0.5 dB steps)
When the signal drops below the set Threshold
point the Expander starts to generate downward
expansion.
Range
Range: -40 dB to 0 dB in 0.5 dB steps
Sets the maximum range of the expansion.
Ratio
Range: Off to Infinity
Sets the Expansion Ratio below the Threshold
point.
Release
Range: 20 ms to 7 sec.
Sets the time it takes for the Expander to release
its attenuation of the signal when the signal ex-
ceeds the Threshold again.
