Please note that the vintage dynamics section is available for mono and stereo
channels only.
The main differences between the vintage and standard dynamics sections is
that the vintage dynamics are intended as an effect rather than being trans-
parent. Its compressor has some additional parameters compared with the
standard dynamics section, but no hold function instead; there is no limiter
available, and the expander and gate sections cannot be used at the same time.
Below, only the parameters different from the ones of the standard dynamics
section are described.
The smooth transition ('soft knee') at the compressor threshold can be
adjusted, the window size can be set between 0 and 60 dB.
Switches the compressor's 'soft knee' on or off.
If the CMP MIX function is on, this parameter allows mixing or blending of
the dry (original) and the wet (compressed) signals. 0% setting: dry signal
only; 100% setting: wet signal only.
