sets can appear to be the same when you view only the parameters that the 6300's
front panel exposes.
Please note that if a User Preset was created by in the PC Remote software by edit-
ing Advanced controls, an asterisk will appear in front of the displayed parent pre-
set. This asterisk means that you cannot duplicate a given user preset by starting
with its parent preset and then setting a target 6300's front panel controls to corre-
spond to the user preset you want to duplicate. The only way to duplicate such a
user preset accurately is via the PC Remote software's backup and restore features,
or by opening the preset in the PC Remote software and manually duplicating each
control setting you see.

Advanced 2-band Controls

The following 2-band controls are only accessible from the 6300 PC Remote soft-
ware:
2B Master Compression Threshold sets the level where gain reduction starts to
occur in the Master (above 200Hz) band of the 2-band Compressor.
2B Bass Threshold determines the compression threshold of the bass band (below
200 Hz) in the 2-band Compressor. It can be used to set the target spectral balance
of the 2-band Compressor.
As the 2-band Compressor
control affects the sound less and less.

2B Master Attack sets the attack time of the 2-band Compressor master compres-
sor (above 200Hz).
2B Bass Attack sets the attack time of the 2-band Compressor bass compressor (be-
low 200Hz).
2B Master Comp Ratio and 2B Master Comp Ratio set the compression ratio of
the Master compressor and Bass compressor respectively at their thresholds of com-
pression. Beyond threshold, the ratio increases with increased gain reduction until it
becomes :1 at the amount of gain reduction (in dB) set by the 2B M
trol. When you adjust these controls, the thresholds of the multiband compressors
automatically change so that the total amount of gain reduction stays approxi-
mately the same. (This automatic adjustment is internal to the 6300's DSP; the dis-
