Gate (D zone)
1
1
ON switch enables gate in signal path. When
disabled (switch extinguished), gate is bypassed.
(Both comp and gate switches can be enabled at any
one time.)
2
To aid set up, gate has a side chain listen facility
that sends the side chain onto the solo bus. This side
chain listen indicator illuminates to warn you that the
soloed material is from the side chain and not the
main channel.
3
Quick access button selects all of the gate
controls to the GUI input channel strip for near instant
access.
4
threshold control knob adjusts signal level at
which gate opens.
5
hold control knob minimises chattering in
conjunction with internal hysteresis. Once signal is
detected as below threshold, this defines a waiting
period before the gate starts to close.

Compressor/Gate select buttons allow you to flip
between the compressor and limiter controls in the
GUI input channel strip.
7
Range control knob adjusts amount of gain
reduction applied to signal below threshold.
8
attack control knob adjusts time taken for gate
to open after an over-threshold signal.
9
release control knob adjusts time taken for gate
to close after programme material falls back below
threshold.
10
Gate graph display. Similar to the compressor
graph (see "Compressor graph" on page 50), this
shows the effects of adjusting the gate control knobs,
that is, threshold, attack, release, range and hold.
