Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip (Mr816 Csx Only); How To Call Up The Window - Steinberg MR816CSX Operation Manual

Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip (MR816 CSX only)

This effect has been developed by using Yamaha's Sweet Spot Morphing Technology. This technology lets you simply rotate
the knob to adjust compressor and equalizer effects and easily call up appropriate, professional-level settings that would
otherwise be difficult for recording novices to discover. As illustrated below, the entire system consists of a compressor (with
the side chain filter) and a 3-band equalizer, which is applied to 8 mono input channels (4 stereo input channels) of the
MR816 CSX. The parameters for this effect can be adjusted from a dedicated window.

The MR816 CSX provides various preset settings of the Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip as "Sweet Spot data" specially
created by top-class engineers. You can find the desired or professional-level sound by selecting the Sweet Spot data then
rotating the DRIVE knob and MORPH knob at the center bottom of the Sweet Spot Morphing Channel Strip window-instead
of having to adjust each of the parameters. Each Sweet Spot data contains several settings for the compressor and equal-
izer. The setting is changed gradually between them by rotating the MORPH knob, instantly and automatically changing all
the related parameters according to the knob rotation. Of course, you can also adjust each of the parameters including the
DRIVE knob for controlling the compressor. The effect related settings will be saved as a Project file of Cubase. This means
that you can recall the effect related settings as soon as you open the Project file the next time. All the effect parameters can
be adjusted from a dedicated window within Cubase.
