Band Dynamics - Roland VM-C7100 Owner's Manual

Chapter 8 Using the Internal Effects

3-Band Dynamics

With this, the frequency band can be split into three bands (low, middle and high frequency bands) and
Compressor can be applied on these bands respectively (frequency-independent compressor). This makes it
possible to achieve a variety of effects such as enhancing the low frequency band only and suppressing the high
frequency band only. In addition, Expander or Limiter can be used to expand or suppress the dynamic range. It
works effectively when used as a mastering tool.

Setting Function
-24– +12dB Sets the overall volume before entering expander/compressor.
0–10 ms Sets the length of delay to add to the direct sound input.
20–800 Hz Sets the frequency at which the direct sound is split into three bands (on the
high frequency band side).
1.6–16 kHz Sets the frequency at which the direct sound is split into three bands (on the
high frequency band side).
Expands the dynamic range at a certain ratio.
On, Off Turns the expander on or off.
-80–0 dB Sets the volume at which the expander for the high frequency band starts
working.
1:1–16:1, INF:1 Sets the ratio at which the output in the high frequency band is increased
when the input level has dropped below the threshold level.
0–100 ms Sets the time until when the high frequency band expander starts working
after the input level has dropped below the high threshold level.
50–5000 ms Sets the time until when the high frequency band expander stops working
after the input level has exceeded the high threshold level.
-80–0 dB Sets the volume at which the expander for the middle frequency band starts
working.
1:1–16:1, INF:1 Sets the ratio at which the output in the middle frequency band is increased
when the input level has dropped below the Middle Threshold level.
0–100 ms Sets the time until when the middle frequency band expander starts
working after the input level has dropped below the middle threshold level.
50–5000 ms Sets the time until when the middle frequency band expander stops working
after the input level has exceeded the middle threshold level.
-80–0 dB Sets the volume at which the expander for the low frequency band starts working.
1:1–16:1, INF:1 Sets the ratio at which the output in the low frequency band is increased
when the input level has dropped below the low threshold level.
0–100 ms Sets the time until when the low frequency band expander starts working
after the input level has dropped below the low threshold level.
50–5000 ms Sets the time until when the low frequency band expander stops working
after the input level has exceeded the low threshold level.
