Dynamics - Yamaha DME Designer Owner's Manual

Chapter 6 Component Guide

Dynamics

Components in the dynamic group adjust the dynamic range of the sound. There are eight types of
components, each of which is available in mono channel and stereo channel versions. The seven
types are: compander hard, compander soft, compressor, de-esser, ducking, expander, gate, and
limiter.
KeyIn
All components in the dynamic group, except the de-esser, have KeyIn input. This is used as a
trigger source that activates the effects of the component.
The trigger source is set in the [KeyIn] section of the component editor.
The currently selected trigger source is displayed on the button. Click the button and select the
trigger source from the menu.
