Omnia Audio Omnia.9/XE - Manual (Page 58)

• The Sidechain Delay feature is useful for both adding punch and managing the amount of low
frequency power (while increasing bass punch).
• The Maximum Gain, Ratio, Attack rate Release rate, Target, Gate Threshold, and Freeze
Threshold controls work in the same manner as their counterparts in the other sections of the
Omnia.9/XE. However, the Maximum Gain control in the Wideband AGC1 section has a range of
24dB.
• The Maximum Gain Reduction control sets the maximum amount of gain reduction possible in the
Wideband AGC1 compressor, and is adjustable from 0 to 24dB in one-quarter dB increments.
• The Progressive Release control determines the degree to which the Wideband AGC1
compressor releases its gain at a faster rate as the audio is driven further toward or into gain
reduction. At a setting of 0, the control has no effect and the Release speed control fully determines
the rate of release. Increasing the setting progressively makes the release speed of the audio faster
as gain decreases.
• The 3-band Sidechain Equalizer can be used to make the Wideband AGC1 more or less sensitive
to the frequencies determined by the Frequency, Width, and Gain controls, which function exactly
like their counterparts in the Input AGC section above. A PEQ preview patch point similar to the one
described in the Input AGC section is also available here.
Parametric Equalizer Menu
The Parametric Equalizer menu allows you to set up the 6-band phase-linear parametric equalizer,
which is located just ahead of the multiband section of the processing core. In addition, an assortment of
pre-configured filters are available, including a Low Pass Filter, a High Pass Filter, a Band Pass Filter, a
Notch Filter, a Low Shelf EQ, and a High Shelf EQ.
• The Bypass button removes the equalizer from the audio path.
• The Type drop down menu determines what type of EQ or filter is employed.
• The Frequency slider is used to set the center frequency for each band. The range of this control is
20 to 22,050Hz.
• The Width slider determines how much audio above and below the center frequency will also be
affected by any boosts or cuts in gain. The range of this control is 0.0 to 10.0 octaves in one-tenth
octave increments. Lower values provide a narrower (sharper) boost or cut, while higher values
provide a wider (gentler) boost or cut.
