Compressor Program; N 35. Compressor - Yamaha SPX900 Operation Manual

Pan Type (TYPE): L R, L
R-TURN
Determines the direction in which the sound sweeps across the
stereo sound field. The L-TURN and R-TURN parameters
produce a pan which seems to rotate toward and away from
the listener in the specified direction.
Pan Speed (PAN SPEED): 0.05 – 40.00 Hz
Sets the speed of the PAN effect (i.e. how rapidly the signal
sweeps from channel to channel).
Front/Rear Depth (F/R DEPTH): 0 – 100%
When the L-TURN or R-TURN pan type is selected, this
parameter sets the apparent depth of the sweep from front to
rear.
Left/Right Depth (L/R DEPTH): 0 – 100%
Sets the "depth" of the pan sweep from left to right and right
to left.
n 34. TRIGGERED PAN
When triggered, this program automatically pans the sound
image between left and right or right and left in the stereo
sound field – with programmable attack, pan and release
rates.
Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL): 1 – 100
Determines the level of the input signal required to trigger the
panning effect. At 100% only very high-level input signals
will trigger the pan, while at 0% even the tiniest input signal
will trigger the pan.
Trigger Delay (TRG. DLY): -100 – +100.0
milliseconds
Produces a delay between the time at which the effect is
triggered and that at which it actually begins. If a minus value
is programmed. the input signal is delayed so that, effectively,
the effect begins before the signal appears.
Trigger Mask (TRG. MSK): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
This parameter makes it impossible to re-trigger the effect
until the programmed time has elapsed.
R, L R, L-TURN,
Attack Time (ATTACK): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
Determines how rapidly the panning effect begins.
Panning Time (PANNING): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
Determines how long it takes to complete the main portion of
the pan.
Release Time (RELEASE): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
Determines the speed of the end of the pan.
Pan Direction (DIRECTION): L
Determines the direction in which the sound sweeps across the
stereo sound field.
Left/Right Channel Balance (L/R BALANCE):
0 – 100%
Determines the maximum extent of the pan sweep. For
example, a setting of 100% produce a full pan from the
extreme left to right or vice versa, while a setting of 50% a
pan that is more restricted in its width across the stereo sound
field.
MIDI Trigger (MIDI TRG.): OFF, ON
When this parameter is turned ON, a KEY ON EVENT
message from an external MIDI keyboard can be used to
trigger the pan. A KEY ON EVENT message is transmitted
whenever a note on a MIDI keyboard is played.
NOTE:
This effect can also be triggered by the front-panel
TRIGGER key or a footswitch plugged into the rear-panel
TRIGGER jack.

COMPRESSOR PROGRAM

n n 35. COMPRESSOR
This extremely versatile compressor program allows creation
of a wide range of compression and limiting effects. It can
simply be used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal, to
smooth out the sound of an electric bass or add sustain to an
electric guitar. It can help to reduce volume fluctuations as
a vocalist moves closer to or away from a microphone, or
limit the maximum level of a signal to prevent overloading
certain types of amplification of recording equipment. The
COMPRESSOR program is a stereo compressor in which the
