Controls Unlinked
Unlink the controls when dual-mono operation is desired. Channel 1 and 2
controls are completely independent in this mode, and automation data is
written and read by each channel separately. Link Controls is disabled when
the FATSO is used in a mono-in/mono-out configuration.
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 CONTROLS function
is on the right side only (not to be confused with Link COMPRESS, which is on
the left side only).
Power
The Power toggle switch determines whether the plug-in is active. It
is useful for comparing the processed settings to the original signal.
When Power is in the Off (down) position, plug-in processing is dis-
abled, UAD DSP usage is reduced, and all LED's are unlit.
Note:
UAD-2 DSP usage is reduced only when DSP LoadLock is disabled. If
DSP LoadLock is enabled (the default setting), disabling Power will not reduce
DSP usage.
Click the lower portion of the switch to disable the plug-in; click the upper por-
tion to activate (or click+drag up/down on the switch).
FATSO Sr. Controls
These controls are unique to the
FATSO Sr. However, because the
additional controls in the FATSO
Sr. do not add to the DSP function-
ality of the FATSO Jr., both plug-ins
use the same amount of UAD DSP.
Threshold
This knob enables manual threshold control of the
FATSO compressor. Higher values lower the
threshold, and therefore increase the amount of
compression. A value of 5 is the unity setting.
) also affects the com-
pression threshold. Generally speaking, set the
amount of desired signal saturation with Input first, then adjust Threshold as
desired.
