Mid-Side Decode Button: (MSDEC)
MSDEC stands for Mid-Side DECoding, which is a handy method of recording mono-
compatible stereo sound. This technique also offers custom control of the stereo width
and volume levels. A Figure-8 microphone (see the section on Mic Replacement) is used
with a second, uni-directional microphone to create a stereo signal. MSDEC decodes the
signal for stereo output. The button will be green when enabled.
Here is a picture of a Mid-Side
Microphone arrangement as used with
the GigaPiano II GigaPulse Bank.
Mute Button:
Silences the Master or the individual channel, but still uses CPU. The button is yellow
when the signal is muted.
On Button:
The On button turns off the individual microphones and frees up the CPU resources.
The mics can also be enabled & disabled by clicking on them in the Placement Selection
window. When a mic is enabled, it will be highlighted in the Placement Selection
window and its “On” button will be lit yellow. (And vice versa when disabled)
Examples:
Front Mics “On” Center Mic “On”
