The channel strip module is an effect suite hard-wired into every channel and contains the following effects:
- Cut Filter:
-
A basic low and high cut filter covering the entire audible frequency spectrum.
- Noise Gate
-
Offers the same functionality as the Noise Gate (not in LE) insert effect with the additional option to use a sidechain filter which uses a filtered version of the input signal as reference for the noise gate to work with.
-
Hit SC to activate the internal sidechain filter. If external side-chaining is enabled for the Channel Strip (via the button in the effect rack’s tool bar), both the Noise Gate and the Compressor will use the side-chain input signal from the other track.
-
Use the Freq and Q knobs to shape the reference signal.
-
Toggle Listen to only hear the filtered reference signal.
-
- Compressor
-
Works like the Compressor insert effect with the Make Up parameter allowing to raise the overall output signal after compression. This parameter as well as the compressor's Release can be set to automatically adjust during playback. It also supports side-chaining.
- Saturator
-
Can be used to add character and warmth or slight distortion to your sound, emulating analogue reel-to-reel or tube processing techniques.
-
Choose between Tape or Tube model emulation.
-
Adjust the distortion factor with the Drive knob.
-
Set the effect's frequency range with the high and low EQ knobs.
-
The Gain knob controls the output level of the effect.
