Compressing The Input Signals - Yamaha 01V96i Owner's Manual

Compressing the Input
Signals
The 01V96i's Input Channels 1–32 feature individual
channel compressors. A compressor is an effect used to
make the volume level more consistent, or to restrain
the maximum level in order to raise the overall volume.
Here we describe how to use a compressor to process an
input signal.
1.
Press the LAYER [1–16] button.
Input Channel Layer 1–16 is now available for con-
trol from the channel strip section.
2.
Press the [SEL] button of the Input Chan-
nel to which you want to apply compres-
sion.
3.
Press the [DYNAMICS] button, then
press the [F4] button.
The Dynamics | Comp Lib page appears. This page
enables you to store compressor settings (pro-
grams) to the Compressor library, and recall com-
pressor programs from the library. This example
uses one of the compressor programs 1–36 from the
Compressor library.
4.
Rotate the Parameter wheel to scroll the
library title list, and select a program that
you want to recall.
The selected program appears inside the dotted
box.
5.
Move the cursor to the RECALL button
located to the left of the library title list,
then press [ENTER].
The selected program is recalled.

6.
Press the [F3] button.
The 01V96i displays the Dynamics | Comp Edit
page, which enables you to adjust compressor
parameters.
Tip:
• The 01V96i features four types of dynamics proces-
sors: COMP (Compressor), EXPAND (Expander),
COMP. (S) (Compander Soft), and COMP. (H)
(Compander Hard). These processors feature differ-
ent parameters. (See the Reference Manual for the
parameters for each compressor type.)
• You cannot change the compressor type on the
Comp Edit page. To change the compressor type,
recall a program that uses the desired compressor
type from the Compressor library, then adjust the
parameters as desired.
7.
Press the [ENTER] button to turn on the
ON/OFF button located in the lower-left
corner of the page.
The ON/OFF button turns the currently-selected
Input Channel's compressor on or off.
8.
While sound is being produced on the
instrument or other device, adjust the
parameters of the compressor.
To do so, move the cursor to the desired parameter
in the PARAMETER section on the page, then
rotate the Parameter wheel or press the
[INC]/[DEC] buttons.
Input Channels 1–32 feature a gate that can be used
independently of the compressor. To use the gate,
first press the [DYNAMICS] button, then the [F2]
button to access the Gate library. After you recall a
gate program, press the [Dynamics] button, then
the [F1] button to display the Gate Edit page, which
enables you to adjust gate parameters.
