8 - Dynamics processors The DM-24 includes dynamics processors, which may be assigned as required throughout the mixing chain. These high-quality processors are all digital and include compressors, gates and expanders. The processor list comprises: • Sixteen gate or expander units available for the first 16 input channels Turning the processors on and off When there is more than one processor available for a module (that is, for channels 1 through 16), the module screen is used to select whether the gate or the expander is on or off. In all module screens, the compressor can be turned on and off (channels 1 through 16 also allow the independent turning on and off of the gate/expander). DYNAMICS (input channels 1-16) The screen accessed by the DYNAMICS key shows the settings for the currently selected input channel (as shown by the SEL indicator). • Thirty-two compressor units for channels 1 through 32 • Six assignable output compressors for the aux sends, the buss masters and the stereo outputs In addition, the placement of the compressors may be controlled so that they affect the signal at different points in the processing chain. In the DYNAMICS screen (channels 1 through 16), the gate or expander can be turned on and off, and the compressor can also be turned on and off independently. If the selected channel is linked as part of a stereo pair, the settings affect both channels. Pressing the SEL key of another channel (or channels) will bring up the dynamics settings for that channel. Selecting a gate or an expander The processors are selected using the library function. If a template, preset or user library entry which corresponds to a noise gate is selected from the gate/ expander library, the gate parameters appear on screen. If, on the other hand, an expander library entry is selected, the expander parameters will appear on screen. When the DYNAMICS screen is shown, to change from a gate to an expander, or vice versa, use the G/E... LIB soft key to bring up the library screen, and recall a library entry of the appropriate type.

8 – Dynamics processors
The DM-24 includes dynamics processors, which
may be assigned as required throughout the mixing
chain.
These high-quality processors are all digital and
include compressors, gates and expanders.
The processor list comprises:
•
Sixteen gate or expander units available for the first
16 input channels
•
Thirty-two compressor units for channels 1 through
32
•
Six assignable output compressors for the aux
sends, the buss masters and the stereo outputs
In addition, the placement of the compressors may be
controlled so that they affect the signal at different
points in the processing chain.
Turning the processors on and off
When there is more than one processor available for
a module (that is, for channels 1 through 16), the
module screen is used to select whether the gate or
the expander is on or off.
In all module screens, the compressor can be turned
on and off (channels 1 through 16 also allow the
independent turning on and off of the gate/expander).
In the
DYNAMICS
screen (channels 1 through 16), the
gate or expander can be turned on and off, and the
compressor can also be turned on and off indepen-
dently.
DYNAMICS (input channels 1–16)
The screen accessed by the
DYNAMICS
key shows
the settings for the currently selected input channel
(as shown by the
SEL
indicator).
If the selected channel is linked as part of a stereo
pair, the settings affect both channels.
Pressing the
SEL
key of another channel (or chan-
nels) will bring up the dynamics settings for that
channel.
Selecting a gate or an expander
The processors are selected using the library func-
tion. If a template, preset or user library entry which
corresponds to a noise gate is selected from the gate/
expander library, the gate parameters appear on
screen.
If, on the other hand, an expander library entry is
selected, the expander parameters will appear on
screen.
When the
DYNAMICS
screen is shown, to change from
a gate to an expander, or
vice versa
, use the
G/E... LIB
soft key to bring up the library screen, and recall a
library entry of the appropriate type.
