3-5 Free Assign Area and Dynamics
The Dynamics function area (lower left) contains:
• GATE
• EXPANDER
• COMPRESSOR (there are a number of Compressor options)
• LIMITER
• SIDE-CHAIN EQUALISER (S-C EQ).
Each section of the Dynamics has its own side-chain and allows very
comprehensive control, equivalent to that of high specification units. All
four side-chains operate on a single gain control element. The Side-Chain
EQ is a fully parametric 2-band element which may be inserted in three
ways:
• in the Dynamics Side-Chain only
• in the Signal Path only as a second EQ
• in the Signal Path and the Side-Chain.
The current Free Assign Area (lower right) contains:
• DELAY Effect
This area includes space for additional effects as and when software
upgrades are introduced in the future.
