KIT CUSTOMIZE
MASTER COMP (page 5)
This is a two-band equalizer that is provided for each drum kit.
The master compressor is output from the MASTER OUT jacks and the PHONES jacks.
This indicates whether the master comp eect is output ( ) from
each jack or is not output ( ).
MST: MASTER OUT jacks
PHO: PHONES jacks (always output)
Parameter Value Explanation
[F4] button OFF, COMP ON Turns master comp on/o.
Type
SINGLE SOFT COMP, SINGLE HARD
COMP, SINGLE LIMITER, 2BAND SOFT
COMP, 2BAND HARD COMP, 2BAND
LIMITER
Character of the compressor
* When you change this parameter, all parameters of the master compressor change to optimal
settings for your selection. You can then make further adjustments to these parameters as
necessary. Depending on the settings of these parameters, the resulting eect might not match
the Type setting.
Split Freq SINGLE, 10–16000 Hz
Bandwidth of the compressor
If this is “SINGLE,” the master compressor operates as a single-band compressor that is used only on
the high band.
Threshold*1 -48–0 dB Volume level at which compression begins
Gain*1 -24–+24 dB Output level of the compressor
Attack*1 0–100 mSec Time from when the volume goes up the threshold level until the compressor eect applies
Release*1 10–1000 mSec
Time from when the volume falls below the threshold level until the compressor eect no longer
applies
Ratio*1 1:1–100:1 Compression ratio
Knee*1 HARD, SOFT1–3 Attack of the sound at the moment compression is applied
[F2] button*2 LO SOLO
When this is operating as a two-band compressor, you can individually audition the low-frequency
and high-frequency bands.
* These settings are reset if you perform any of the following operations.
5 Respecify the Type parameter as single band compressor
5 Set the Split Freq parameter to “SINGLE”
5 Exit the MASTER COMP screen
[F3] button*2 HI SOLO
*1 If Split Freq is set to something other than “SINGLE,” the low band and high band can be set independently.
*2 Only if Split Freq is set to something other than “SINGLE”
* If the routing setting (p. 29) Master Out is “DIRECT,” the master compressor does not apply to the sound that is output from the MASTER OUT jacks.
Meters shown in the MASTER COMP screen
In the MASTER COMP screen, the “input meter,” the “gain reduction meter,” and the “output meter” are displayed.
Output meter
The “output meter” shows the output level
following the master comp.
Input meter
The “input meter” shows
the level (dB) being
input to the master
comp.
Gain reduction meter
The “gain reduction meter”
shows the change in level
(dB) produced by the
master comp.
When Split Freq is “SINGLE” (single compressor) When Split Freq is “10–16000 Hz” (2-band compressor)
Input meter
The “input meter” shows the level (dB)
being input to the master comp.
This is shown individually for the low
and high bands.
Output meter
The “output meter” shows the
output level following the
master comp.
Gain reduction meter
The “gain reduction meter”
shows the change in level (dB)
produced by the master comp.
This is shown individually for the
low and high bands.
Adjust the master comp’s “Gain” so that the output meter does not exceed 0 dB (i.e., so that it does not clip).
