Signal Processing In/Out page. The four lower knobs show the four processors; the
signal path is from top to bottom. Press the lower button to the left of the knob to toggle
the In/Out status of that processor; the switch lights when the processor is in.
NOTE: The function In/Out switches to the left of the Strip's function switches also
toggle the processors In/Out.

Dynamics

Each channel has a compressor/expander/gate with external key input and filtered
sidechain. Press the Dyn function key to assign Dynamics to the knobset; the TFT
display at the top of the Strip shows the dynamics graph (yellow when dynamics are In,
gray when bypassed). The red dot is a GainBall that shows the signal's current gain
(y-axis) and the attack and release times as the ball rides up and down the curve.
The entire Dynamics section may be switched in/out with the Dyn In key to the left of
the Strip's function keys. The Expander/Gate and Compressor can be switched in/out
individually on their respective knobset configuration pages. Use the knob to adjust the
parameters. Each section discusses the effect, if any, of the switches.
The first Dynamics page (Figure 8-12) shows the main controls for both the compressor
and expander/gate. Press the
Expander/Gate, Compressor, and Sidechain/filters.
See Section 8.3.1 - Channel Patch Points to see how to patch the sidechain, which can
be sent to any source. Patching the sidechain can also be done in PatchNet.
