AW2400 Owner’s Manual

The AW2400 provides dynamics processing capability on all input and track channels: compres-
sion on the track channels, and both compression and gating on the input channels. The dynam-
ics processor parameters are adjusted manually via the Selected Channel section in the same
way as the EQ parameters. A range of dynamics presets for a variety of instruments is also pro-
vided in the dynamics library.
In this section we’ll see how to recall dynamics processor preset from the library and apply com-
pression to the channel 1–8 signals.
1
Press the Layer section [IN 1-8] key so that
its indicator lights, the press the [SEL] key

Press the Selected Channel section [DYN]
key so that its indicator lights.
The DYNAMICS screen will appear.
3
Press the Display section [F3] key, or press
the [DYN] key as many times as necessary

ton and press the [ENTER] key to turn the
compressor on.
This activates the compressor for the corresponding
input channel.
5
Press the Display section [F4] key.
The DYNAMICS screen Comp Lib. page will appear.
Compressor library presets can be recalled via this
page. The currently selected compressor type and its
graphic response curve are shown at the top of the dis-
play.

Use the [DATA/JOG] dial or [INC]/[DEC]
keys to select the library setting to be
recalled.
The setting highlighted by a dotted frame is currently
selected for recall.
Each setting has a name that indicates the instrument
or application it is intended to be used for. The com-
pressor types and response curves are displayed to the
left of the list.

input channel for compression.
