8. Operation
As with most channel strips, ChannelStrip provides many copies of controls that are all operated in a similar
manner. The ChannelStrip user interface uses a few different control elements to control all of the processing.
These elements are:
Control Knob
Control Knobs are used to control the value of various continuous parameters of a process. Examples of these
types of parameters include: Attack time, Release Time, Threshold, etc. There are four styles of encoders:
Figure 8.1: Swept Knob
The rings around these encoders sweep from a minimum to maximum value, normally from left to right. One
exception is the compressor threshold, which sweeps from right to left.
Figure 8.2: Plus/Minus Knob
The rings around these encoders start at 12 o'clock and sweep to either side. These knobs are used for gain
control, where straight up is no gain change, turning to the left cuts the signal and turning to the right boosts it.
Figure 8.3: Spread Knob
The rings around these encoders start at 12 o'clock and spread to both sides equally as the control is increased.
These knobs are used for bandwidth controls.
Figure 8.4: Limiter Knob
The ring around this encoder displays the amount of gain reduction from the limiter. The display sweeps around
the encoder from right to left, with a fully left display indicating 12dB of gain reduction.
