pander/Gate:
Channel Modes Affecting Dynamics
The following features affect operation of built-in Dynamics.
Dyn Pre EQ
By default, built-in Dynamics processing occurs before
built-in EQ processing in the signal chain of Input Channels.
This can be changed on a per-channel basis by toggling the
channel’s Dyn Pre EQ setting.
To toggle the Dyn Pre EQ setting of an Input Channel:
1 Target the Input Channel whose Dyn Pre EQ mode you
want to change by pressing its Select switch.
2 In the Channel Config section, press the Dyn Pre EQ switch.
When enabled, the Dyn Pre EQ switch LED lights.
Input Direct Mode
Input Direct mode lets you completely bypass the built-in dy-
namics and EQ processing, and all inserts on Input Channels
and FX Returns. For more information, see “Using Input Di-
rect” on page 56.
Adjusting Dynamics
D-Show provides Dynamics controls in input channel strips,
the ACS, and on-screen.
Input Fader Strip Dynamics Controls
All Input fader strips provide Threshold level controls, dedi-
cated In/Out switches and gain reduction meters.
To adjust Threshold from an input strip:
3 Press an Encoder 1 Assign switch (Comp/Lim, or Exp/Gate).
4 Rotate a channel Encoder 1 to adjust Threshold.
To take the process in/out of circuit:
■ Press the Comp In or Gate In switch.
