Antares TA-1VP Manuale Utente

Pressing the KNEE button brings up this page:

Compressor Knee:  40 

  (0 is hard)

The Knee control adjusts the sharpness of the transitions 

between uncompressed and compressed signals. As 

a signal increases in level through the threshold, the 

compressor will begin to apply gain reduction. With a 

soft knee (100), that change in gain will be gradual and 

therefore less noticeable.
The range of the control is from 0 (hard knee) to 100 (soft 

knee). (The default setting is 48.)

Pressing the GATE button brings up this page:

Th:-36dB_____|
Gate Ratio:  1:20

This page allows you to set the main Gate parameters. 

Use the cursor buttons to move from field to field and the 

Data Knob to set each parameter. For ease in setting the 

threshold, this page includes a display of the incoming 

signal level and a graphic indication of the currently 

selected threshold. The threshold should be set just above 

the level of the signal that you wish to gate.
Pressing the GATE button again while the Gate Page is 

displayed will display the Gain Reduction Meter Page 

(see below). Continually pressing the GATE button will 

alternate between the two pages.
The ranges of the parameters are as follows: 

Threshold: –90 dB (default setting) - 0 dB
Ratio: 1:1.0 (default setting) - 1:99

C/G:-20 -12 -6 -3  0

         ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Pressing either the COMP or GATE buttons while their 

respective pages are displayed will display this high 

resolution gain reduction meter. The meter displays the 

amount of gain reduction applied to the signal. When the 

input signal is above the compression threshold or below 

the gate threshold, the gain reduction meter will display 

the amount of compression or gating being applied. 

Pressing the COMP or GATE button again will return to 

the appropriate page.

The front panel GAIN REDUCTION meter is intended 

to provide a quick indication of compressor and gate 

activity. For precise gain reduction indication, refer to the 

Gain Reduction Meter Page described above. The range of 

the meter is 15 dB.

When this button is lit, the COMPRESSOR/GATE module 

is active. When it is not lit, the module is bypassed. 

Pressing the button toggles its state. The Comp/ Gate On/

Off function can also be controlled by MIDI and/or by a 

footswitch.

Pressing the DE-ESS button brings up this page:

This page allows you to set the main de-esser parameters. 

Use the cursor buttons to move from field to field and the 

Data Knob to set each parameter. For ease in setting the 

threshold, this page includes a display of the incoming 

high-pass signal level and a graphic indication of the 

currently selected threshold. The threshold must be set 

below the signal peaks for any de-essing to occur.
Pressing the DE-ESS button again while the De-esser 

Page is displayed will display the De-esser Gain Reduction 

Meter Page (see below). Continually pressing the DE-ESS 

button will alternate between the two pages.
The ranges of the parameters are as follows: 

Threshold: –60 dB - 0 dB (default setting)
Ratio: 1.0:1 - 99:1

If you are using the Double Track function (see below), the 

de-esser works on both the main and the double track.

Pressing the ATK button brings up this page:

   De-esser Attack

       15 ms

The Attack Time control adjusts the speed with which the 

de-esser’s compressor element responds to peaks in the 

signal coming from the highpass filter. The range of the 

control is from 0 milliseconds to 200 milliseconds. (The 

default setting is 15 milliseconds.)

Pressing the REL button brings up this page:
