2 SIDECHAIN CUE button Turn this button on to monitor the sidechain signal sent to the CUE bus. At this time, the graph indicates the response of the sidechain filters. 3 SIDECHAIN LISTEN button Turn this button on to output the sidechain signal (linked to the dynamics) to the bus (such as a STEREO bus or MIX/MATRIX bus) to which the insert channel signal is sent. At this time, the graph indicates the response of the sidechain filters. 4 FILTER TYPE buttons Switch the type of the main bus equalizers and sidechain filters. Main bus EQ and sidechain filter will link as follows: Graphic EQ, effects, and Premium Rack B THRESHOLD meter Indicates the sidechain signal level in relation to the threshold level. C Graph area Displays the equalizer response. In most cases, this area displays the reference EQ graph that indicates the frequency and intensity, and the dynamic EQ graph that indicates the dynamically-changing EQ responses. FILTER TYPE Main EQ Sidechain filter (Low Shelf) Low Shelf LPF (Bell) Bell BPF (Hi Shelf) Hi Shelf HPF 5 FREQUENCY knob Sets the frequency band that will be controlled by the equalizer and sidechain filter. 6 Q knob Sets the Q value (steepness) of the equalizer and sidechain filter. As you rotate this knob clockwise, the frequency range to which the equalizer or sidechain filter is applied will become wider. 7 THRESHOLD knob Specifies the threshold at which the processor will begin taking effect. 8 RATIO knob Sets the boost/cut ratio relative to the input signal. Rotating the knob clockwise will set the ratio for boost, and counter-clockwise for cut. Fully rotating the knob in either direction will create the maximum effect. 9 ATTACK/RELEASE buttons Enable you to select one of the three settings as the attack/release time for compression or boost. Select FAST for a faster attack and faster release. Select SLOW for a faster attack and slower release. Select AUTO to automatically adjust the attack/release time depending on the frequency ranges. 0 MODE buttons Specify whether the processor is triggered when the sidechain signal level exceeds the threshold value (ABOVE), or when the level does not reach the threshold value (BELOW). A EQ GAIN meter Indicates the dynamically-changing EQ gain. Dynamic EQ graph Reference EQ graph If SIDECHAIN CUE or SIDECHAIN LISTEN is on, this area displays the sidechain filter response.
