ENVELOPE MODE
Softlim
Softlimiter on/off switch. Where a Compressor mostly is
used to gradually reduce the dynamic content above the
set Threshold point a limiter is used to directly avoid hitting
an upper limit. Compressors and limiters are often used in
conjunction. - The Compressor as the musical/gentle way
of reducing the level and the Limiter as a hard abrupt
control to avoid distortion. See illustration.
Makeup Gain
Bypass
Press to bypass the TRIPLE•C. All processing parameters
are bypassed. Input Level control and all System settings
found in the I/O menu are not bypassed.
Level
When a signal is compressed the max Output level of the
signal is reduced. Since it is a reduction in dynamic
content and not a gain-reduction that is the object of
applying compression a make-up gain is necessary to lift
the signal to appropriate level. Observe the gain reduction
via the meters and lift the processed signal to approx. 0dB
using the Level knob in the Make Up Gain section.
For detailed information please read the section on make
up gain in the section called “Using Compression”.

DRG - Digital Radiance Generator
Range: 1-10
With this parameter you can add second harmonic
distortion. This is a commonly used tube-simulation that will
add warmth to the signal.
External Sidechain
Range: Off, On, Add
Determines whether the TRIPLE•C should respond to the
signal present on the External Sidechain.
Off : This is the ”Normal” setting. The TRIPLE•C will
only respond to the Input signal and not to any
signal present on the Sidechain.
On : The compression will be controlled only by the
signal present on the Sidechain Input.
Add : In this mode the TRIPLE•C will respond both to
the Input signal and to the signal present on the
Sidechain. The Input signal and the Sidechain
signal are added for compression control.
Please note that the signal present on the
Sidechain Input under no circumstances is
passed to the Outputs. The Sidechain Input is
only for compression control.
Hi X-Over, Lo X-Over and Comp Style are
ineffective in the Envelope mode.
