choices. The black dots indicate the OUTPUT assignment
corresponding to each sound.

Abbreviations in the display screen
OUTPUT jacks
M=MASTER
1=DIRECT 1
2=DIRECT 2
3=DIRECT 3
* The volume of the DIRECT 1, DIRECT 2 and DIRECT 3 jacks
is not affected by the master volume control located in the upper
right of the front panel ([MASTER]).
Applications
You can also use the DIRECT outputs (6) in mono by select-
ing (for example) DIRECT 1, and then panning the chosen
sound hard right or left (R15/L15) (stereo location; p. 90). If
you are processing all sounds externally, you can also use
the MASTER out in this way, giving you 8 individual mono
outs.
Output Separation: 76 dB (min.)
(MASTER L -> DIRECT L, MASTER R -> DIRECT R): 45 dB (min.)
(DIRECT L -> Other DIRECT L, DIRECT R -> Other DIRECT R): 45 dB (min.)
Controlling variations in volume
(Compressor)
10 compressors are provided (Triggers 1-10 only)
Compression is used to “smooth” volume peaks, preventing
“overloads” and as it will also change the character and tone
of the sound in response to the playing dynamics, it’s anoth-
er useful tool in creating YOUR sound.
fig.06-05
Procedure
1. Press [CONTROL ROOM]-[F2 (COMP)].
The “COMPRESSOR/LIMITER” page will appear.
2. Strike the pad that you wish to edit.
The setting page for the pad you struck will appear.
3. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the parameter that
you wish to set.
4. Use [INC/DEC] or the VALUE dial to make the setting.
In this page, [F1] will turn the compressor on/off. Also,
pressing the [F2][F3][F4] buttons will move the cursor direct-
ly to “Attack,” “Release,” or “Output.”
Parameters
ATTACK (Attack time): 0.0550 msec
Adjusts the volume of the attack (the beginning of the
sound).
RELEAS (Release time): 0.052000 msec
Adjusts the release time of the sound.
OUTPUT (Output Level): -60 +12 dB
Adjusts the volume of the sound processed by the compres-
sor. Ideally the volume should be about the same whether
the compressor is on or off.
Threshold (Threshold): -
, -990
When the input exceeds the level that you specify here, the
compressor will begin to hold down the volume.
Ratio (Compression Ratio): 1:190:1,
:1
This decides the degree of volume compression, expressed
as a ratio relative to the original (input) sound.
