Chapter 13: Using the Effects
1 Link parameter
The Link parameter appears on the FX 1 and FX 3 screens. If you select the COMPRESSOR/LIMITER effect for the FX 1 and
FX 2 (or FX 3 and FX 4) and set the Link parameter for the FX 1 (or FX 3) to ON, the FX2 (or FX 4) parameters will use the
FX 1 (or FX 3) parameter settings. If you did not select the COMPRESSOR/LIMITER effect for the FX 2 and FX 4, the Link
parameter setting will be ignored. The Link parameter is useful when you wish to apply the compressor/limiter effect to a
stereo signal source.
EXPANDER
This monaural effect limits signals at a certain level (threshold) or lower and expands the dynamic range, provid-
ing an effect opposite to the compressor effect.
