8: Input level readout: input gain values may be manually entered by double
clicking on the readout.
9: Unit name: double click to edit the name, which can also be changed through
the Properties View window.
10: Channel names: double click to edit names. These are stored as part of a
preset.
11: Output view mode: switch between output linking set-up, matrix mixer, and
limiters view.
12: Matrix mixer view: mix any combination of input channels to each output –
either enter direct levels numerically by double clicking on the level readout, or
click on the knob and move vertically to adjust mix level in 0.1dB steps. Note
that values below –40dB will mute this matrix feed.
13: PEQ shortcut buttons: jump directly to the input parametric EQ screen with
the channel(s) selected – same as Mode button, but also sets the correct channel.
14: Phase button: Flip the polarity of an output by pressing this (On – Blue
indicator, and 180° out of phase).
15: Delay readout: up to 650mS of delay may be added to any output channel.
Enter direct values numerically by double clicking on the readout, or single click
on the readout and move vertically to adjust time in the current interval (mS,
metres etc.). Step size and units can be changed through the Properties View
window.
16: Output channel metering: real time metering shows level relative to the
limiter threshold with the yellow section illuminating when the limiter threshold
has been reached. Full scale shows 4dB into limiting. Time constants of metering
are also linked to the attack and release times set for the limiter on each channel.
17: Output channel fader: this acts on the signal post-DSP and pre-limiter. The
gain may also be changed by clicking above or below the fader knob along the
“track” to adjust the current value in 1dB steps.
18: Limiters view: auto-limiters on/off – one setting for all 8 channels. When
set to ‘On’ the attack and release times of the limiters are automatically chosen
based on the high pass crossover filter for that channel. More information about
setting accurate limiter thresholds is given in the section on page 48.
19: Limiters view: Program limiter threshold, attack and release: set the
program limiters using these controls. More information about setting up limiters
is given on page 48.
20: Limiters view: Clip limiter threshold and release: set up the clip limiters
with these controls. More info on page 48.
21: Linkage view: Output linkage controls: link output channels so all
adjustments track identically – note that changing linkage will immediately copy
all parameters from the lowest channel to the others – change with caution!
