L.F. COMP. section (prologue-16 only)

The L.F. COMP. is an analog effector used to boost or compress the low-
frequency band.
This effect is placed last in the output series, providing a punchy sound.
Note that this setting cannot be saved to a program.
VU meter
Refer to "How to use the L.F. COMP." (p.38).
GAIN knob
This sets the intensity of the effect.
Turning the knob to the right will decrease the compressor threshold and increase
the gain.
OFF/ON switch [OFF, ON]
This sets whether the effect is on or off.
OFF: Turns the L.F. COMP. off.
ON: Turns the L.F. COMP. on. When the L.F. COMP. is on, the VU meter LED will
light, and the needle will move to around the 0 db mark.
How to use the L.F. COMP.
Turn the L.F. COMP. on to boost or compress the input signal, according to the
GAIN knob setting.
Both the master volume (MASTER knob) and gain (GAIN knob) settings are impor-
tant in achieving a good sound.
The compressor will tend to activate more often when the master volume is set high,
since the output signal is strong. On the other hand, when the master volume is low,
the compressor will activate less.
When a loud sound is outputted, you should be able to achieve enough compressor
effect, even at lower gain settings.
The VU meter shows about how much the output signal is being compressed. When
the needle moves to the left, this means that the compressor is being heavily applied.
Use both the MASTER knob and GAIN knob together to achieve a sound you like.
