Compressing the Input Signals 37 Compressing the Input Signals The 01V96i's Input Channels 1-32 feature individual channel compressors. A compressor is an effect used to make the volume level more consistent, or to restrain the maximum level in order to raise the overall volume. Here we describe how to use a compressor to process an input signal. 1. Press the LAYER [1-16] button. Input Channel Layer 1-16 is now available for control from the channel strip section. 2. Press the [SEL] button of the Input Chan- nel to which you want to apply compression. 3. Press the [DYNAMICS] button, then press the [F4] button. The Dynamics | Comp Lib page appears. This page enables you to store compressor settings (programs) to the Compressor library, and recall compressor programs from the library. This example uses one of the compressor programs 1-36 from the Compressor library. 4. Rotate the Parameter wheel to scroll the library title list, and select a program that you want to recall. The selected program appears inside the dotted box. 5. Move the cursor to the RECALL button located to the left of the library title list, then press [ENTER]. The selected program is recalled. 6. Press the [F3] button. The 01V96i displays the Dynamics | Comp Edit page, which enables you to adjust compressor parameters. Tip: • The 01V96i features four types of dynamics proces- sors: COMP (Compressor), EXPAND (Expander), COMP. (S) (Compander Soft), and COMP. (H) (Compander Hard). These processors feature different parameters. (See the Reference Manual for the parameters for each compressor type.) • You cannot change the compressor type on the Comp Edit page. To change the compressor type, recall a program that uses the desired compressor type from the Compressor library, then adjust the parameters as desired. 7. Press the [ENTER] button to turn on the ON/OFF button located in the lower-left corner of the page. The ON/OFF button turns the currently-selected Input Channel's compressor on or off. 8. While sound is being produced on the instrument or other device, adjust the parameters of the compressor. To do so, move the cursor to the desired parameter in the PARAMETER section on the page, then rotate the Parameter wheel or press the [INC]/[DEC] buttons. Input Channels 1-32 feature a gate that can be used independently of the compressor. To use the gate, first press the [DYNAMICS] button, then the [F2] button to access the Gate library. After you recall a gate program, press the [Dynamics] button, then the [F1] button to display the Gate Edit page, which enables you to adjust gate parameters. Tutorial 01V96i-Owner's Manual
