XXX. Channel Dynamics Processing
In addition to the tools provided by its effect processors, the VM-7000—
with software Version 1.5 and higher—offers a dynamics processor for
each input and multi in channel. A channel can use any one of the
following dynamics processing algorithms:
• compressor
• gate (expander)
The dynamics processor is inserted in the channel's signal flow just
before its high-pass filter and EQ.
We'll use Input Channel 1 to demonstrate how to set up a channel's
dynamics processor:
1. Press INPUT CH 1-24.
2. Hold down Input Channel 1's CH EDIT button and press
the QUICK CH EDIT DELAY button—the DELAY/DYN
page appears.
3. Press CURSOR UP to select the row of parameters
containing LOW and HI DAMP GAIN/FREQ and ALGORITHM.
4. Press F5 [DLY/DYN].
Each channel's dynamics processor uses the same resources as its
built-in feedback delay. As a result, you must choose between using the
feedback delay or the dynamics processor. To learn more about channel
delays, see p. 81 in the VM-C7200/C7100 Owner's Manual.
5. Turn V1 [SELECT ALGORITHM] to choose the desired dynamics
processing algorithm. For our example, select LIMITER
(COMPRESSOR).
6. Press F1 [SET] to confirm your choice and load the algorithm.
A screen appears with parameters at the bottom of the screen that
allow you to customize the limiter's behavior.
To learn more about what these parameters do, see Newly Added
Functions, included with your VM-7000. If you need to obtain a copy of
this publication—as would be the case if your VM-7000 shipped with a
software version earlier than 1.50—call one of our Product Specialists
at (323) 890-3740, or visit Roland's Web site, http://www.rolandus.com.
XXXI. Delay, Dynamics, EQ and Channel Libraries
We've already learned how to load and save effect libraries. The
VM-7000 also lets you save and load libraries containing other channel
settings.
This kind of library:

• expander
• limiter (compressor)
contains:
channel phase delay and feedback delay
settings.
channel dynamics processor settings.
channel EQ settings
the major parameter settings for the selected
channel. See p. 44 of the VM-C7200/C7100
Owner's Manual for more details on the
included parameters.
