4) COMPRESSOR/LIMITER, or dynamics processor of the output channel with signal-peak
detection. It has the following controls:
•
THRESHOLD: activation threshold of the processor (volts)
•
RATIO: gain reduction of the processed (compressed) signal compared to the
incoming signal
•
ATTACK: time it takes the compressor to start compressing after the threshold has
been reached
•
RELEASE: time the compressor uses to stop compressing after the input signal has
fallen below the threshold
•
MAKE-UP: gain applied to the signal after compression, to globally increase its level
once dynamically modified
•
KNEE: type of curve (transition zone around the threshold) that determines whether
the bend in the response curve around threshold is abrupt (HARD) or gradual (SOFT)
•
GR (GAIN REDUCTION): compression real time indicator (dB), very useful to adjust
different parameters of the compressor, including MAKE-UP GAIN
5) COMPRESSOR/LIMITER, or dynamics processor of the output channel. with signal RMS-
level (Root Mean Square) detection. It has the same controls and indicators as the peak
compressor.
6) COPY/PASTE: icons to copy the settings from one channel and "paste" them in another,
cloning the settings (all settings, except the label or channel name)
LOUDSPEAKER PRESET: allows you to save a "partial" preset or configuration of an output
channel, on your computer or on a storage device, which will be sometimes directly
associated with the characteristics of a specific speaker system model (crossover
frequencies, delay for time alignment, EQ, compression and limiting, etc.).
This preset can be loaded subsequently in ALMA24/ALMAcard devices requiring an exact
copy of the settings it contains.
Each output can be part of a LINK group. In this mode, the settings applied to one of the group
outputs (for example the left channel) will be automatically applied to the other outputs from the same
group (right channel).
The F2 key allows you to rename an input or output channel:
