A RELEASE (release time)
Specify the time from when the key-in signal drops
below the threshold until compression is defeated.
B GAIN
Set the output level gain.
C KNEE
This sets the sharpness of the angle at which the out-
put level will change. A setting of HARD produces
the sharpest angle, and a setting of SOFT5 produces
the softest angle.

D OUTPUT COMP LIBRARY (output compressor
library)
This button accesses the COMP LIBRARY window
allowing you to store/recall compressor settings
( p.184).
E LINK ON/OFF (key-in link)
This specify whether the key-in signals will link com-
pressor operation for adjacent odd-numbered
even-numbered channels (link=on), or whether the
compressors will operate with independent key-in
signals (link=off).

OUT COMP (output compressor) function
Be careful not to confuse "compressor link" with
"stereo pairing of output channels." Turning on com-
pressor link simply causes the compressors to be
linked by the key-in signal; the compressor parame-
ters themselves can be set independently for each
channel.
When output channels are used as a stereo pair, com-
pressor link will automatically be turned on, and the
compressor parameter values will also be linked.
However you are free to subsequently turn linking
off and modify the parameter values.
F SELECT (Key-in select)
Select the key-in signal from the following choices.
SELF PRE EQ
The immediately before EQ signal of the currently
selected output channel
SELF POST EQ
The immediately before compressor signal of the
currently selected output channel
LEFT CH
The signal of the previously-numbered output chan-
nel (the same signal as the SELF POST EQ of the pre-
vious channel)
If you select LEFT CH, the post- INPUT FILTER
signal of the previously-numbered channel will be
the key-in signal. However, please be aware that the
INPUT FILTER will not function unless COMP is
on.
KEY IN1–KEY IN4
Signal of the input channel selected in the respective
CH SELECT menu
If MIX channel 1, MATRIX channel 1, or the STE -
REO A or B channel is selected, the LEFT CH but-
ton will not be displayed.
Nor will it be displayed for paired channels.
