NS (Noise Suppressor)
This suppresses noise (such as background noise and hum
from mics) when no sound is being played. The noise
suppressor watches at the input level at the top of the chain
of effects, and when there is no input, turns down any output
at the end.
Threshold
Value: 0–100
Sets the volume level at which starts muting. Set the
value higher when there is a lot of noise, and if there is
less noise, decrease the value.
Release
Value: 0–100
Sets the time from when the muting starts until the
volume reaches 0.
• If the threshold level is set too low, the effect is lost; when
set too high, even the sounds you want will be muted. In
addition, if the release time is set too long, the releasing
noise becomes audible; when set too short, it sounds
unnatural. Set these to suitable point for the input noise
conditions at the time.
