Gate Parameters: GATE On/Off Gate on/off.
GATE THRS Rotary The gate threshold level can be adjusted in 1 dB steps from 0 dB

to
–96 dB

.
GATE REL Rotary The gate release time can be adjusted in 13 steps within a 10 ms through 10 s
range (10 ms, 20 ms, 30 ms, 50 ms, 100 ms, 200 ms, 300 ms, 500 ms, 1 s, 2 s,
3 s, 5 s, and 10 s).
GATE hold on/off Hold on = 150 ms, off = 0 ms.
GATE ATCK Rotary The gate attack time can be adjusted in 9 steps within a 200 µs to 1 ms range
(0.2 ms, 0.3 ms, 0.4 ms, 0.5 ms, 0.6 ms, 0.7 ms, 0.8 ms, 0.9 ms, and 1 ms).
GATE hyst on/off The gate hysteresis function provides an offset between the un-mute and mute
thresholds. This means the gate will remain open (un-muted) at a lower level
than the level than was required to open it. For example, a threshold can be
set so that amp noise from an electric guitar will be attenuated as long as the
guitar is not played. However, as the guitar sustains and loses energy (level)
over time, the gate will remain open at levels below the one that caused it to
open in the first place (un-mute threshold). Once the level falls far enough,
the gate will close (mute) again.
GATE ATTN Rotary The attenuation level can be adjusted in 1 dB steps from 0 dB

to
–48 dB

Parameters Shared by all Dynamics Functions:
SC LINK Rotary The Side-Chain Link function allows forming a side-chain group from up to
eight channels in order to control the dynamics of all of them by the highest
of all side-chain group member levels (‘one to control them all’). Side-chains
are defined in the GC’s Channel Patch window. The rotary encoder switches
the side-chain link function on/off, if it is available for the specified channel.
SC LINK intKey/extKey The key source input can be selected from intKey (dynamics pro cessing
depends on the channel’s input signal), or extKey (processing is controlled
by a signal connected via the patch).
SC HI CUT/LO CUT On/Off High- and low-cut filters are available within the side-chain key signal. This
facilitates frequency-dependent dynamic processing for creating effects, such
as de-essing. Both side-chain filters can be switched on/off independently.
