Phaser
A Phaser in general is a group of comb filters that are swept
back and forth by an LFO within a certain frequency range.
When the comb filter sound is mixed with the direct signal,
the moving phasing sound is created due to the constant
moving phase cancelation of the combfilter frequencies in the
direct signal.
PHASER
Speed
Controls the speed of the moving filters in the Phaser.
Depth
Adjusts the depth of the phasing filters.
Mix
Mixes between direct sound and phaser sound.
Out Level
Controls the Output level of the block.
Order
Choose between 4th, 8th or 12th order.
FB Level
Controls the Level of the Feedback.
Range
Choose between Low or High.
Expander/Gate
The Expander/Gate performs Downward Expansion.
Downward Expansion in general means that below a certain
Threshold the Input signals gain is reduced on the Output
according to a specific ratio. Expanders and gates are often
used to reduce or eliminate noise.
EXPANDER/GATE
Threshold
When the Input signal falls below the Threshold, the
Expander/Gate starts working. This means that the higher
Threshold the more expansion or gating you will get.
EXPANDER/GATE
Ratio
This is the Ratio of the gain reduction. If the Ratio is set to
4:1 it means that for every 1dB the Input signal decreases, the
Output will decrease by 4dB.
When the Ratio is set to Infinite:1, it means that when the
Input signal falls below the Threshold, the Output is turned
all the way down. This is also known as Gating.
Attack
The Attack time is the fallback time that the Expander/Gate
uses to reach the gain reduction specified by the Ratio
parameter.
Example: If the Input signal suddenly drops 4dB below
Threshold in no time, with the Ratio set to 4:1 and the Attack
set to 20ms, the M3000 will use 20ms to reach a total gain
reduction of 16dB.
Release
The Release is the rise time that the Expander/Gate uses to
release the gain reduction when the signal exceeds the
Threshold.
Out Level
Controls the Output level of the Expander/Gate.
