FRQPAN Adjust the cutoff frequency of the filter and pans its behavior between the Left and Right
channel. At a value of 0 there is no frequency panning effect. Lower values increase the cutoff fre-
quency in the Left channel and decrease it in the Right channel. Higher values increase the cutoff
frequency in the Right channel and decrease it in the Left channel.
DIRT This parameter sets the amount of input level to the filter. It can be used to slightly overdrive the
signal going into the filter, producing filter distortion.
EQ LO Controls the amount of low-end in the equalizer. Depending on selected circuit-type, this
affects the low-end in slightly different ways, always tailor-made to suit the characteristics of the
selected circuit.
EQ HI Controls the amount of high-end in the equalizer. Depending on selected circuit-type, this
affects the high-end in slightly different ways, always tailor-made to suit the characteristics of the
selected circuit.
7.2.4 GATE
The gate is used to control the volume of the audio signal. It attenuates signals that are below the set
threshold level. The gate will attenuate the signal by a fixed amount, known as the range. Simply explained,
the gate allows a signal to pass through only when it is above a set threshold: the gate is open. If the sig-
nal falls below the threshold no signal is allowed to pass (or the signal is attenuated): the gate is closed.

THRESHOLD Sets the audio input level at which the gate will open and let through a signal.
HOLD Sets the amount of time from which the signal goes under the threshold level to when the
release phase begins.
RELEASE Sets the time for the gate to go from open to fully closed.
RANGE Sets the amount of signal volume when the gate is closed. The most common setting is to
have complete attenuation, that is, no signal will pass when the gate is closed.
