2
SIDECHAIN CUE button
Turn this button on to monitor the sidechain signal sent to the CUE bus. At this time,
the graph indicates the response of the sidechain filters.
3
SIDECHAIN LISTEN button
Turn this button on to output the sidechain signal (linked to the dynamics) to the bus
(such as a STEREO bus or MIX/MATRIX bus) to which the insert channel signal is sent.
At this time, the graph indicates the response of the sidechain filters.
4
FILTER TYPE buttons
Switch the type of the main bus equalizers and sidechain filters. Main bus EQ and
sidechain filter will link as follows:
FILTER TYPE
(Low Shelf)
Main EQ Low Shelf
Sidechain filter LPF
5
FREQUENCY knob
Sets the frequency band that will be controlled by the equalizer and sidechain filter.
6
Q knob
Sets the Q value (steepness) of the equalizer and sidechain filter.
As you rotate this knob clockwise, the frequency range to which the equalizer or
sidechain filter is applied will become wider.
7
THRESHOLD knob
Specifies the threshold at which the processor will begin taking effect.
8
RATIO knob
Sets the boost/cut ratio relative to the input signal.
Rotating the knob clockwise will set the ratio for boost, and counter-clockwise for cut.
Fully rotating the knob in either direction will create the maximum effect.
9
ATTACK/RELEASE buttons
Enable you to select one of the three settings as the attack/release time for compression
or boost.
Select FAST for a faster attack and faster release. Select SLOW for a faster attack and
slower release. Select AUTO to automatically adjust the attack/release time depending
on the frequency ranges.
0
MODE buttons
Specify whether the processor is triggered when the sidechain signal level exceeds the
threshold value (ABOVE), or when the level does not reach the threshold value (BELOW).
A
EQ GAIN meter
Indicates the dynamically-changing EQ gain.
(Bell) (Hi Shelf)
Bell Hi Shelf
BPF HPF
125
B
THRESHOLD meter
Indicates the sidechain signal level in relation to the threshold level.
C
Graph area
Displays the equalizer response.
In most cases, this area displays the reference EQ graph that indicates the frequency and
intensity, and the dynamic EQ graph that indicates the dynamically-changing EQ
responses.

If SIDECHAIN CUE or SIDECHAIN LISTEN is on, this area displays the sidechain filter
response.
