5 - Channel modules : Dynamics processors Auto make-up (AUTOmk-up), controlled by the ENTER key. This is used if the compression settings have resulted in gain reduction. Not shown if the processor is being used as an expander. Output gain (OUTGAIN), controlled by the POD 4 knob on the last row (grayed out if the auto make-up above is on). Variable from -20dB to +20dB in 1 dB steps. Not shown if the processor is being used as an expander. Library jump buttons There are two such on- screen library jump buttons on channels 1 through 32 (gate and compressor/expander). Other modules only have the compressor/expander jump keys. These buttons are labeled GATE... LIB→ and C/E... LIB→ respectively. When pressed, the appropriate library screen is brought up, where the current settings can be stored for future use, or preset or previously-stored settings can be recalled for use in the project. Preset dynamics library entries The following preset entries are provided either to be used "as-is", or to be used as templates or starting points for experimentation. These library entries are read-only (marked with an inverse R on the display), and may not be overwritten. However, it is possible to load the entries, edit the parameters, and then store them to a different library entry. As always, there are no hard and fast rules as to what "works". Feel free to use the settings in a variety of contexts and change them as seems appropriate to you. Compressor/expander library entries Use these settings for the compressor/expander either "as is" or edit them to your needs and store them as part of the project.
