TC Electronic SYSTEM 6000 MKII Algorithm Manual

40
MD-3
theExpander/Compressorsectionofthealgorithmuses
one common SideChain for both Left and Right channels.
EQisunlinked.
MSUnlinked
IntheMSUnlinkedmodetheMSEncoderisactivatedand
theExpander/Compressorsectionofthealgorithmuses
separate SideChains for the Left and Right Channels.
EQisunlinked.
Output Mode
Range: Left/Right, MS
Left/Right : Straight Output without MS Decode.
MS : MS decode before the limiter section.
DC block
Range: Off, On
TheDCblockisaLoCutfilterusedtoremovepotential
DC-noise at 2Hz.
Expander/Compressor Setup
Lo Xover
Range:Off,25,32,40,50,63,80Hz.........16kHz
Sets the Cross-over frequency between the Lo and Mid
Expander/Compressorbandsforthetwochannels.
Hi Xover
Range:Off,25,32,40,50,63,80Hz.........16kHz
Sets the Cross-over frequency between the Mid and the Hi
ExpanderandCompressorbandsforthetwochannels.
Crest
Range:Peak,6,10,12,14,16,20,24,RMS
SelectcompressionmethodbetweenRMSandPEAKfor
allthreebands.ThedBstepsbetweenRMSandPeakare
numberofdBsneededforapeak-valuetooverrideRMS
measurement and can be perceived as a Threshold setting.
Example:
If the Crest parameter is set to 6dB, the Compressor will
respondtoRMSvaluesandtopeaks6dBhigherthanthe
current RMS value.
Auto Gain
Range: Off/On
SwitchestheAutomaticMake-upgainonoroffforthe
Compressor bands. When set to on the gain for each band
isadjustedaccordingtoThresholdandRatiosettings.
Whensettooff,noautomaticgainadjustmentsare
performed
Nominal Delay
Range: 0to15ms
<2ms in 0.1ms steps
  >2msin0.5mssteps
Sets the nominal Delay of the signal compared to the
Sidechainsignal.Thisisalsoknownas“Lookahead
delay”, enabling the compressor section to become more
responsive to the incoming signal thereby performing a
more precise compression.
EQ page
Introduction
ThisdigitalEQfeaturesafour-bandparametricEQwith
high- and low-pass filters switchable between Notch,
Parametric, Shelving and Cut filters. The needle sharp
notch filter has a range down to 0.01 octave and the
shelving filters has a variable slope, ranging from gentle 3
dB/octover6and9to12dB/oct.Cutfiltersareswitchable
between 12dB/oct maximum flat amplitude (Butterworth) or
flat group delay (Bessel) types. The parametric equalizer
features a natural and well defined bandwidth behavior at
all gain and width settings:
Basic operation
• PresskeysLo, Mid1, Mid2 and Hi to activate/deactivate
 theEQbands.
• SelectFreq,Gain,TypeorLo/Hitoaccessallfour
parameters on individual bands.
• PressBypass EQ to bypass all four bands.
Type Selector
• PressType and use faders 1-4 to select filter types.
ForLoandHifiltersselectbetweenfiltertypes: 
Parametric, Notch, Shelve and Cut.
ForMid1andMid2filtersselectbetweenfiltertypes:
Parametric and Notch.
Reference Level
Range:-24dBFSto0dBFSin0.5dBsteps
This parameter sets the reference level in the algorithm.
The reference level is the level at which the Compressor
Threshold parameters will start operating when set to 0dB.
