COMP PARAM
1 2
A Channel selection
Select the channel that you want to edit. If the corre-
sponding MIX channel or MATRIX channel is paired
(or if a STEREO A/B channel is selected), a heart sym-
bol is displayed at the right. For MIX channels or
MATRIX channels, you can click this symbol to
enable/disable pairing.
B COMP ON/OFF (Compressor on/off)
Turns the compressor on/off for that channel.
C COMP LINK GROUP (Compressor link
group)
Selects the compressor link group (A–H) to which that
channel belongs. Compressor parameters are linked for
output channels belonging to the same group.
D LIBRARY
This button accesses the COMP LIBRARY screen
(➥ p.232), where you can store/recall compressor
library settings for output channels.
E Level meters
These meters indicate the amount of gain reduction
(GR), the peak level before (PRE) and after (POST) the
compressor, and the peak level of the key-in signal
(KEY IN) that causes the compressor to operate. If the
signal clips, the OVER segment will light.
If stereo link is turned on for the corresponding MIX
channel or MATRIX channel (or if a STEREO A/B
channel is selected), level meters for two channels are
displayed.

Hint
If GR METER ON/OFF LINK is turned on in the PREFER-
ENCE 1 screen (UTILITY function), the gain reduction meter
will not be displayed when the compressor is off.
F Type
Indicates the type of the currently selected compressor.
Hint
To change the compressor type, use the OUTPUT COMP
LIBRARY screen to recall a library item that has a different
type. You cannot change the compressor type in this screen.
G STEREO LINK
This specifies whether parameter settings and compres-
sor operation by a key-in signal will be linked
(STEREO LINK button on) for adjacent odd-num-
bered/even-numbered MIX/MATRIX channels or the
L/R channels of the STEREO A/B channels, or not
(STEREO LINK button off).
