OUTPUT
This is the standard effects output section, with modulatable
control over wet/dry balance. For more information, see
"OUTPUT" on page 904.
004: St.Multiband Compressor
On-screen graphic, 004 St. Multiband Compressor crossover
Crossover between bands 3 and 4
Crossover between bands 2 and 3
Crossover between bands 1 and 2
This stereo effect divides the input signal into four bands,
low through high, with separate dynamics control of each
band. While it's named a "compressor," it's actually much
more than that. It can be used as a compressor, expander,
gate, or EQ–with each band performing a different function,
if desired.
The dynamics processing works somewhat differently than a
standard compressor/expander. For more information, see
"Range [dB]," below.

[6dB Oct, 12dB Oct, 18dB Oct, 24dB Oct]
Selects the steepness of the crossover filters.

Sets the frequency at which bands 1 and 2 are divided.
Frequency 2-3 [Hz]
Sets the frequency at which bands 2 and 3 are divided.
Frequency 3-4 [Hz]
Sets the frequency at which bands 3 and 4 are divided.

Knee
This effectively controls both the onset/offset shape of the
dynamics processing, and (in conjunction with Range), the
compression/expansion ratio.
For more information, see "Range [dB]," below.
Output Gain [dB]
Sets the overall output gain.
Bands 1-4
Each of the four bands has identical parameters.
Solo
Use this setting to audition the processed sound of each
band.
If this is On, the output of other bands will be muted. If this
is On for more than one band, only the bands for which this
is On will be heard. Normally, this should be turned Off for
all bands.
Bypass
You can bypass compression for each band individually.
When this is On, you'll hear the band's un-compressed
signal.
[Soft, 0.01...0.74, Hard]
[–18.0...+18.0]
These meters show the band's
input level and gain reduction, in
real-time. The red mark shows
the Threshold setting.
