Right-to-mono: Press the lower key next to the Bal knob to send the right
channel equally to both the left and right sides of the stereo channel.
Both-to-mono: Press both keys next to the Bal knob to send a mono mix of
both channels equally to both sides of the stereo channel. The Bal knob then
adjusts the mix between left and right channels.
•Swap: Press the lower key to reverse the left and right channels.
Signal Processing In/Out
Press the X key (once from the B Input page, twice from the A Input page) to display the
Signal Processing In/Out page. The four lower knobs show the four processors; the
signal path is from top to bottom. Press the lower button to the left of the knob to toggle
the In/Out status of that processor; the switch lights when the processor is in.
NOTE: The function In/Out switches to the left of the Strip’s function switches also
toggle the processors In/Out.
See Section 8.4.2 on page 115 to learn how to change the processor order.
8.3.2 Dynamics
Each channel has a compressor/expander/gate with an external key input. Press the
Dyn function key to assign Dynamics to the knobset; the TFT display at the top of the
Strip shows the dynamics graph (yellow when dynamics are In, gray when bypassed).
The red dot is a GainBall that shows the signal’s current gain (y-axis) and the attack
and release times as the ball rides up and down the curve.
The Dynamics section may be switched in/out with the Dyn In key to the left of the
Strip’s function keys. The Expander/Gate and Compressor can be switched in/out indi-
vidually on their respective knobset configuration pages. Use the knob to adjust the pa-
rameters. Each section discusses the effect, if any, of the switches.
NOTE: The Dynamics processor can be set as either Expander/Gate or Compressor
but not both simultaneously. Turning on one function while the other is active
will switch off the other function.
The first Dynamics page (Figure 8-10) shows the controls for the compressor. Press the
X key to display pages with the parameters for Expander/Gate and Sidechain.
See Section 8.4.1 - Channel Patch Points to see how to patch the sidechain, which can
be fed from any source. Patching the sidechain can also be done in PatchNet.
