UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 54 - Chapter 4: API Vision Console Channel Strip
Operational Overview
Modular Design Like the original hardware, the API Vision Console Channel Strip plug-in has
a modular design. Each module controls a different signal processing func-
tion, and associated controls are grouped within each module. The following
modules are contained in the API Vision Console Channel Strip plug-in:
• 212L Microphone Preamplifier
• 215L High/Low Sweep Filters
• 235L Gate/Expander
• 225L Compressor/Limiter
• 550L Four-Band Equalizer
Signal Flow A simplified view of the default signal flow routing within the plug-in is illus-
trated in the diagram below. The audio path is shown with solid lines, and the
side chain control keys for the dynamics modules are shown with dotted lines.
The signal flow can be re-routed via options in the plug-in. The 550L EQ can
be placed before the dynamics modules via the PREDYN (pre-dynamics) but-
ton, and the 215L and/or 550L modules can be moved out of the audio path
and into the dynamics side chain path via the SC (side chain) buttons in those
modules.
Note that the side chains for the dynamics modules are in series by default (as
in diagram above). However, when the 215L and/or 550L are moved into
the side chain (via the SC buttons), the side chain inputs for the dynamics
modules are in parallel, as shown in the diagram below.
