DS501 OPERATORS’ MANUAL 10
PEAK PUNCH
Peak Punch is a dynamic feature which
accelerates the leading edge as the gated signal
opens, adding up to 12dB of gain for
approximately 10mS with proprietary release
characteristics.
For percussive material such as drums, fast
synthesised sounds or percussive guitar, the
Peak Punch mode of operation will give the
most dramatic results.
Care must be taken with material which has a
slow attack (especially low frequency bass sounds), as the Peak Punch may produce
transient clicks at the beginning of sounds, unless the attack knob is also slowed.
Filter section (TUNE) is not used in FULL BAND mode.
Set the peak punch LEVEL for added attack. Up to 12dB
is available.
Using the filter to TUNE the punch.
Low pitch frequencies add depth.
High punch frequencies could give a “rim shot” effect on
a snare drum.
