Channel View
To set up a compressor/limiter:
1. Select the channel you wish to adjust. Then navigate to the Compressor widget either by touching any control in the Dynamics section on the surface or touching
Compressor in the input widget screen. Alternatively, in the Channel View workow touch the small compressor section to the left to see the Compressor and
sidechain section enlarged to the right.
2. On the surface Dynamics section press the SEL button associated with the compressor, this assigns the compressor functions to the physical controls, then press
the ON button. The Button will illuminate green when the compressor is on. Alternatively, in the Compressor widget touch the Compressor on/o button in the
right-hand bottom corner. This will illuminate green when on and only show a green outline when o. You will also see the compressor curve turn green when
the compressor is active. Sidechain lter on/o and Filter Edit buttons are located in the bottom left of the Compressor widget or to the side if in Channel View
workow. The sidechain curve will turn purple when turned on and active.
3. In the Dynamics section, adjust the Attack, Ratio, Release, Threshold and Make Up controls to apply processing. You can also set up a limiter by using a high
threshold and a steep ratio (greater than 10:1). The Hold control has no function when using the compressor and is only used with the gate. Threshold can be
adjusted in the GUI by swiping up and down in the GUI display.
4. Press KNEE in either the Dynamics section or in the Compressor widget to audition the dierent slope algorithms (hard knee, medium knee and soft knee).
5. Press MODE in either the Dynamics section or in the Compressor widget to audition the dierent compressor types (Corrective, Adaptive, Creative and Vintage).
More information on the dierent compression modes can be found in chapter 29.
6. Press Sidechain Filter in the Compressor widget to access the sidechain function. From this page you can set the sidechain, listen to the source, toggle the
sidechain on or o, set the frequency and Width. Press the blue down arrow Comp button to return to the main compressor settings.
Note: The outputs have the same four compressor modes as the input channels. Gates are not available on outputs. If you do need a gate on an output, use the SQ1 in
gate mode.
