Ducking/gating the delay
When you set ducking, the delay effect is only applied to the signal when the input level drops
below the threshold you set. If you select the gate, the delay effect is applied to the signal when the
control level exceeds the threshold.
You can also use the [TRIGGER] key or a footswitch, or a MIDI Note Off/On message to trigger the
duck/gate.
DUCK parameters
Duck/gate
The duck/gate can be opened by various triggers. Usually the strength of the input signal is used
as the trigger. If TYPE is set to GATE, when the input signal is higher than a certain level (threshold),
the GATE opens and the signal can pass. As soon as the input signal drops below the threshold, the
GATE closes and the signal is cut. If TYPE is set to DUCK, the signal is cut while the input signal is
higher than the threshold. As soon as the signal drops below the threshold, the DUCK is opened and
the signal can pass.
The threshold is set by the THRESHOLD parameter.
Hold and release
A short input signal, like the one shown below, would cause the GATE to open (or close in the case
Press the [ DUCK ] key to select DUCK.
Use the [ ^ ] and [ % ] CURSOR keys to move through the various
parameters. Modify the selected parameter by rotating the DATA ENTRY
encoder.
Press the [ DUCK ] key again to enable or disable the DUCK function. The
status message in the top corner of the LCD changes from "ON" to "OFF".
TYPE (DUCK/GATE) Select the threshold activation level. DUCK means the signal passes
until the input level is above the threshold (or when a MIDI Note
Off message is received). GATE means the signal passes after the
input level is above the threshold (or when a MIDI Note On
message is received).
SOURCE (IN(L)/IN(R)/
IN(L+R)/OUT(L)/OUT(R)/
OUT(L+R)/TRIG.KEY/
MIDInote)
Select the source for the trigger signal. When you select one of the
IN or OUT settings, the duck or gate is effective depending on the
signal level. When TRIG.KEY is set, the [TRIGGER] key or a
footswitch connected to the TRIGGER Footswitch Jack on the back
panel is used to trigger the duck or gate. If MIDInote is selected,
a MIDI Note Off/On message is used as the trigger signal.
TARGET (IN(L)/IN(R)/
IN(L&R)/OUT(L)/OUT(R)/
OUT(L&R))
Select the target direction.
HOLD (2 ~ 21000 ms) Set the hold time in milliseconds.
RELEASE (2 ~ 21000 ms) Set the release time in milliseconds.
THRESHOLD (0 ~ 100%) Select the duck or gate threshold level.
