790 Gate+Cmp[EQ]+Vrb
Combination algorithm designed for vocal processing.
PAUs: 4 each
This algorithm is provided with vocal processing in mind. It includes a gate followed by a compressor and
a reverb. Equalization is included as part of the compressor’s side-chain processing. Side-chain
equalization allows some interesting processing possibilities including “de-essing” (by boosting the treble
in the side-chain). For each configuration of compressor and EQ, the EQ includes bass, treble and mid
controls (gain and frequency for each plus width for the mid EQ).

The gate (same gate as Gate) allows you to cut out noise during vocal silence. You must decide whether to
gate based on left or right channels or to gate based on both channels (average magnitude). Both the gate
and compressor have their own side-chain processing paths. For both the gate and compressor, side-chain
input may be taken from either the left or right channels, or the average signal magnitude of the left and
right channels may be selected using the GateSCInp or CompSCInp parameters.
The reverb is the same as used in MiniVerb. You will find all the same controls and room settings. In the
FXPreset editor, you will have to scroll with the more> soft button to find the PARAM5 soft button
containing the reverb parameters.
