Global Controls
The global controls are not channel-specific; they apply to both channels.
Link Compress The control signal sidechains of the gain reduction processors for
channels 1 and 2 can be linked using the Link Compress function.
To activate Link Compress, click the LINK COMPRESS text or LED on Ch1, on
the left. The feature is active when the LED is illuminated.
In typical use on stereo signals, Link Compress should be active so the stereo
imaging is maintained. If the compressor is inactive (
“Compressor Mode” on
page 226 ), or when FATSO is used in a mono-in/mono-out configuration,
this control has no effect.
Important: Unlike the other controls for channels 1 and 2, which are iden-
tical on the left and right sides of the interface, the Link COMPRESS function
is on the left side only (not to be confused with Link CONTROLS, which is on
the right side only).
Link Controls The parameter controls for channels 1 and 2 can be linked using
the Link Controls function.
To activate Link Controls, click on the LINK CONTROLS text or LED on Ch2,
on the right. The feature is active when the LED is illuminated.
Note: Although the left/right Warmth and Tranny controls are linked when
Link Controls is active, the actual Warmth and Tranny processors are not ste-
reo linked. This behavior is identical to the original hardware.
Controls Linked
Link Controls is provided for stereo operation when both channels require the
same values. When enabled, the right channel controls “snap” to match the
left channel control values, and modifying any channel control causes its ste-
reo counterpart control to move to the same position (channel 1 & 2 controls
are ganged together in this mode).
Important: Right channel parameter values are lost the moment Link Con-
trols is enabled.
