DYN
Only functions if at least one Dynamics processing cassette is
fitted in the console.
When the DYN button is selected, it will bring up the last Dynamics
display used on screen.
▶ Using the ◀ & ▶ buttons on the Monitor panel, select the channel you
want to control.
The selected path will be displayed on the right of the screen.
▶ You can select to control DYN a different way by quickly doublepressing
a channel SEL button which will bring up the dynamics screen for
that channel.
Once the DYN screen opens, the channel SEL button led will light solid on
that channel to show that those Dynamics are being controlled by the
encoders.
If the Dynamics are linked to any other Dynamics, then the SEL buttons
on those linked channels will flash to show they are part of that link.
The encoders above the small TFT screen are used to control:
• Ratio, Threshold & Release when controlling the Compressor;
• Range, Threshold & Release when controlling the Gate.
▶ Pressing the first encoder will toggle the control screen between
Compressor and Gate/Expander functions.
▶ Turning on the x5 button will speed up the turns of the encoders.
When linking Dynamics across paths, it is all of the dynamics functions
that are linked ie Gate, Compressor & Expander.
Compressor
The three controls shown on screen are operated by the first three
encoders on the Monitor Panel.
▶ The 1st encoder sets the Ratio, and runs from 1:1 (off) to ∞:1
(Limiting).
Pressing this encoder also swaps between the Compressor and the
Gate/Expander screen (see below).
▶ The 2 nd encoder sets the Threshold, and runs from 10 to -20.
By pressing this encoder, you can also set the source of the Sidechain
Input, either sourced from the Channel itself, the EQ on that Channel, or
from the Key Input via the 25-way D-type connector on the Dynamics
cassette.
If an EQ is being used to be
the Sidechain EQ signal, it will
no longer be available in the
Channel (or Monitor) path.
The EQ pick-off point when
used in this mode will always
be Pre- the Dynamics
processing (but can be Post
Insert if the Inserts are set
Pre- Dynamics).
• Both leds OFF means the signal is coming from the associated
Channel.
• The EQ led lit means the signal is coming from the associated EQ
output.
• The KEY led lit means the signal is being taken from an external
trigger.
▶ The 3 rd encoder sets the Release time (in seconds) and runs from 0.1
of a second to 4 seconds.
By pressing this encoder, you can also set the Attack time from Slow (3ms
to 30ms, programme controlled) to Fast (3ms for 20dB of gain reduction).
▶ The 4 th encoder is not used to set a variable value, but instead, pressing
it will toggle the compressor between working in Local Link (one press)
or Global Link (two presses) mode.
