Output gain (OUTGAIN), controlled by the POD 4<br />
knob on the last row (grayed out if the auto make-up<br />
above is on). Variable from -20dB to +20dB in 1 dB<br />
steps. Not shown if the processor is being used as an<br />
expander.<br />
Library jump buttons There are two such onscreen<br />
library jump buttons on channels 1 through 48<br />
(gate and <strong>com</strong>pressor/expander). Other (master)<br />
Preset dynamics library entries<br />
The following preset entries are provided either to be<br />
used “as-is”, or to be used as templates or starting<br />
points for experimentation.<br />
These library entries are read-only (marked with an<br />
inverse R on the display), and may not be overwritten.<br />
However, it is possible to load the entries, edit the<br />
parameters, and then store them to a different library<br />
entry.<br />
5 – Channel modules : Dynamics processors<br />
modules only have the <strong>com</strong>pressor/expander jump<br />
keys.<br />
These buttons are labeled GATE... LIB→ and C/E... LIB→<br />
respectively.<br />
When pressed, the appropriate library screen is<br />
brought up, where the current settings can be stored<br />
for future use, or preset or previously-stored settings<br />
can be recalled for use in the project.<br />
As always, there are no hard and fast rules as to what<br />
“works”. Feel free to use the settings in a variety of<br />
contexts and change them as seems appropriate to<br />
you.<br />
Compressor/expander library entries Use<br />
these settings for the <strong>com</strong>pressor/expander either “as<br />
is” or edit them to your needs and store them as part<br />
of the project.<br />
