DYN1 (GATE/DUCKING) screen

The DYN1 screen can be used to correct the dynamic range of each channel.

When GATE is selected, if the input signal level is lower than the threshold, the output signal is reduced by a specified amount (Range). When DUCKING is selected, if the input signal level is lower than the threshold, the output signal is reduced by a specified amount (Range). DYN1 is available for CH 1–16.

j

Range slider

Determines the amount by which the signal will be lowered when GATE/DUCKING is applied.

k

Attack slider

When GATE is selected, this sets the time from when the input signal exceeds the threshold level until the gate opens. When DUCKING is selected, this sets the time from when the input signal exceeds the threshold level until the gate closes.

l

Decay slider

When GATE is selected, this sets the time until the gate closes after the input signal has passed the HOLD waiting time. When DUCKING is selected, this sets the time until the gate opens after the input signal has passed the HOLD waiting time. The setting value expresses the time required for the level to change by 6 dB.

m

Hold slider

When GATE is selected, this sets the waiting time until the gate starts to close after the input signal falls below the threshold level. When DUCKING is selected, this sets the waiting time until the gate starts to open after the input signal falls below the threshold level.
