Gate Release
[5 µ , 5] s
The characteristic release time of the application of the gain reduction. Longer release times will
cause the gate to be less responsive to short transient signal drops. Very short release times can
lead to distortion in the output signal. The release time is applied in the detector stage of the
Gate block.
Gate Sidechain EQ SC Source
{Off, On}
Chooses the detector input source. Select between the processed signal and the sidechain input.
Gate Sidechain EQ Enable
{Off, On}
Enables the EQ on the gate's detector input.
Gate Sidechain EQ Gain
[-24, 24] dB
Sets the parameteric gain on the EQ band. For peaking filters, this is the gain at the peak of the
band. For shelving filters, this is the gain at the extreme limit of the filter. This parameter is ignored
for the high and low pass filter types as well as the bandpass filter type.
Gate Sidechain EQ Frequency
[20, 22k] Hz
Sets the characteristic frequency of the filter band.
Gate Sidechain EQ Bandwidth
[0.01, 2.5] Oct
Sets the bandwidth of the filter band in octaves.
Gate Sidechain EQ Type
{Peaking/Parametric, Low Shelf, Hi Shelf, Hi Cut, Low Cut, Band Pass,
RIAA}
Chooses the type of filter that is applied for the band.
Comp Enable
{Off, On}
Enables the compressor. When disabled, the compressor is hard-bypassed, and does not consume
DSP power.
Comp Threshold
[-100, 0] dB
Sets the threshold at which the compressor begins to act. There will be no gain reduction applied
by the compressor when the input signal is below this threshold.
Comp Ratio
[1, 1k]
The gain reduction ratio that is applied to the input signal when the signal is above threshold. The
actual ratio applied also depends on the knee parameter which can be used to soften the knee
and make the applied ratio progressive.
Comp Attack
[1 µ , 500 µ ] s
The characteristic attack time of the application of the gain reduction. Longer attack times will
cause MIOStrip to be less responsive to short transients. Short attack times are required to use
MIOStrip as a signal limiter, but very short attack times can lead to distortion in the output signal.
The attack time is applied in the detector stage of MIOStrip.
Comp Release
[1 µ , 5] s
The characteristic release time of the application of the gain reduction. Longer release times will
cause MIOStrip to be maintain the gain reduction for a longer period of time after transients. Longer
release times are appropriate when using MIOStrip as a leveling amp/AGC. Alternatively, shorter
release times are appropriate when using MIOStrip to increase the apparent level of impulsive
material. Very short release times can lead to distortion in the output signal. The release time is
applied in the detector stage of MIOStrip.
