Controls common to all modules
Module on/off
Click on the module name to bypass the module.
Range: Not illuminated=bypass; Illuminated=not bypassed

Click the window icon at the upper right corner to open the module’s Expanded view.
Stereo Mode
This selection serves two purposes:
In all modules, the Stereo Mode switch sets whether the stereo input signal will be processed as L/R stereo (Stereo and Duo
modes) or will be converted to M/S for separate control of the mid and side channels (M/S mode).
In the dynamics modules (DS
2
, Compressor, and Gate), the Stereo Mode selection also determines how the signal will be used in
dynamics processing for calculating the signal as it relates to threshold.
Left and right are summed. This value is used for establishing internal side band gain. This value is the same for left
and right, so gain reduction detection will apply equally to both channels. This affects dynamics processing only, not
processing adjustments.
Left and right are considered separately in calculating internal sidechain. Each side can have its own dynamic
ranges, so dynamic processing may behave differently for left and right. It does not alter the stereo signal itself. The
L/R stereo signal is converted to M/S so that the middle part of the signal can be dynamically processed differently
than the side part of the signal.
Regardless of a module’s Stereo Mode, its output is always stereo. If needed, it will be converted to M/S at the input of the next
module in the chain.
Section on/off
Many individual sections can be bypassed. Click on the section name to turn it on or off. Turning off a section will reduce CPU load.
Range: Not Illuminated=bypassed; Illuminated=not bypassed
Most modules use one control for both left and right channels (when using the stereo component). To access channels
independently or to create offsets between the two, open the Expanded view window.
