GLD Touch Screen Reference V1.4 – Issue 1 29 ALLEN&HEATH

Attack/Release modes - There are two manual and 4

automatic dynamics modes:

• Peak Manual

• RMS Manual

• Auto Punch

• Auto Opto

• Slow AutoF

• Fast AutoF

Knee - Hard or Soft (easy knee model).

Link and Relative modes:

There are three operating modes with two buttons at the

top right of the screen:

Normal - Link and Rel buttons turned off. Independent

control of each band.

Link - All band parameters linked for quick setup.

Relative - All band parameters linked for changes relative

to settings made before the Rel button was turned on.

Per band controls:

Ratio - 1:1 (no compression) to 20:1 (maximum

compression)

Gain - -6dB to +18dB

Threshold (-50dBu to 18dBu) - Sets the level at which the

sidechain gain reduction occurs for that band. A threshold

dependent ‘zoom’ meter is displayed.

In/Out - Individual band bypass. The curve and controls

grey out for the band.

PFL - Momentary listen to the band solo’d to PAFL.

Silences the other bands.

Sidechain Meter - Shows sidechain signal level and

threshold point.

Bypass - Switches the whole compressor in or out. The

curve and all band controls grey out when the compressor

is bypassed.

Master Trim and Meter - Lets you adjust the output +/-

12dB to compensate for the effect of the EQ on overall

level. The meter displays the stereo output signal.

Transient Controller

This is an accurate model of the industry standard Transient

Signal Processor.

Transient Signal Processors provide cut and boost of the

attack and sustain envelopes of the input signal. This gives

the sound engineer greater control over the transient

behaviour of audio programme. The processor is auto-

threshold which boosts or cuts specific parts of a signal

envelope using auto attack and release times thus making

control very simple. The unit has two independent linkable

channels of processing, each with pre-gain and post-gain

make-up and two optimised modes of operation.

Controls:

Attack – Sets the amount of gain applied to the attack

portion of a transient. Allows up to 15dB boost or cut on

the initial onset of a transient signal.

Sustain – Sets the amount of gain applied following a

transient, boosting or cutting the sustain envelope of the

signal. Allows up to 24dB of cut or boost. Changing the

sustain gain on drums can help add or remove

reverberation and can transform the tonal quality of the

sound.

Pre Gain – Can boost or cut up to 15dB before processing.

Post Gain – Can boost or cut up to 15dB after processing.

In – switches the processor in and out. These are

independent controls for each channel. The user interface

greys out when the processor channel is out.

Metering – The unit provides signal and peak LED

indicators for both input and output. The signal LED has

three stages: Green for signal presence, yellow for nominal

level above '0' and orange when approaching clipping.

Mode – The mode switch toggles between Transient and

Continuous mode. If you hear unwanted artefacts then try

changing the mode.

• Transient Mode - The default Transient Mode is designed

to be used on percussive, transient material. Its automated

attack and release reacts quickly meaning that even the

sharpest of transients will be caught and processed with

minimal distortion.

• Continuous Mode - Ideally suited for more steady state

signals such as a bass or guitar. The unit responds much

slower to transients and allows a smoother response.

Link – Links the two processing channels and changes the

right channel parameters to match the left. When unlinked

the right channel previous parameters are recalled. When

linked, a common summed mono side chain is enabled for

both channel 1 and 2.
