DUCKING DANCE PADS WITH KICK DRUM
Another classic trick is to duck the pads and synthesizer parts with the kick drum. Adjust the
Threshold until 1 to 4 dB compression is shown and try different release settings to find out
which works best with the tempo of the song. Naturally the release time can’t be perfectly
matched with the tempo of the song, but that’s the charm of it.
Threshold: ±0 to 5 dB
Ratio: 10:1
HFP: OFF (note that the high pass filter is deactivated)
EXT SC: ON (note that the external side chain is activated)
Attack: 1 or 3 ms
Release: 50, 100, 300 or 600 ms
Make-up: 0
Blend: Comp
Always unplug the unit before you remove the lid!
Grounding:
There is a jumper that connects the audio ground to the signal ground. If you have hum, start
with removing this jumper and see if the hum goes away. The jumper is located in the right
corner of the big main circuitboard near the front panel. Marked ”chassi to audio ground”.
115v or 230v:
There is a voltage selector inside the unit, located in the upper right corner on the main circuit
board. The text on the switch indicates which voltage that is selected. Remember to change
the main fuse when you switch the voltage.
100mA, slow-blow for 230v

Always unplug the unit before you remove the lid!
