Dynamics screen
In this screen, the dynamics processor functions of
the modules can be controlled. There are three differ-
ent types of dynamics processor that can be assigned:
noise gates, expanders and compressors.
NOTE
Gate and expander settings may not be made for input
modules 17 through 32, as shown here.
Particular settings for these processors are stored in
the DM-24 libraries and are recalled as necessary.
See “Library functions” on page 99 for full details of
how settings are stored.
To recall one of these settings stored in the library:
1 Move the cursor to either of the LIB -> buttons
on the display (either GATE (gate/expander)
or COMP (compressor)).
2 Press the ENTER key.
3 This jumps to the library where the appro-
priate dynamics processor (either compres-
sor or gate/expander) is stored.
4 Use POD 4 or the dial to scroll through the
list of stored settings.
5 Use the fourth soft key ( RECALL ) to recall the
highlighted setting.
Only gates or expanders can be recalled to
the
GATE section, and compressors to the
COMP section. The type of dynamics proces-
sor cannot be changed.
NOTE
The same procedure can be used to store the current
settings to a library entry, using the STORE soft key
rather than the RECALL key.
These procedures are explained in more detail in
“Library functions” on page 99.
Noise gate (GATE)
The purpose of a noise gate is to keep the input
closed while the signal is below a threshold level, and
open it when the signal rises above that level. In this way, the bad effects of hum, hiss, background noise
etc. can be reduced effectively in quiet passages.
Full details of the parameters are given in “Gate” on
page 66.
Compressor
The compressors prevent loud transients from putting
too much signal through the system. Full details of the parameters are given in “Compres-
sors” on page 67.
Expander
The expander expands the dynamic range of the input
signal. Full details of the parameters are given in
“Expander” on page 66.
