ProMix 01 Dynamics Processors
ProMix 01 features three stereo dynamics processors, for compres-
sion, limiting, gating, and ducking. They can be patched into input 
channels, SEND3, SEND4, and the stereo outputs. Processor settings 
are organized as programs, and there are 10 preset programs (1–10) 
and 10 user programs (11–20) for you to store your own settings.
Preset Dynamics Programs
These are the preset dynamics programs.

Compressor parameters are:
Threshold (–40...+18dB) — This determines the level of input sig-
nal required to trigger the compressor. Signals at a level below the 
threshold pass through unaffected. Signals at and above the threshold 
level are compressed by the amount specified using the Ratio param-
eter. The trigger signal is sourced using the KEY IN parameter.
Ratio (1:1–
¥:1) — This determines the amount of compression. 
That is, the change in output signal...

Gate
A gate, or noise gate is essentially an audio switch used to mute signals 
below a set threshold level. It can be used to cut background noise 
picked up by open microphones, noise and hiss from guitar valve 
amps and effects pedals, and leakage between drum microphones. It 
also has many creative uses too. For example, gating a drum sound 
with a short decay time tightens up the sound. Also, patching a gate 
into a droning bass synth channel...

Ducking
Ducking is commonly used for voice-over applications, where the 
background music level is reduced automatically when an announcer 
speaks. Ducking is achieved by triggering a compressor with a differ-
ent sound source. For example, a ducker is patched into the back-
ground music channel, and the KEY IN signal is sourced from the 
announcer’s microphone channel. When the announcer’s micro-
phone level exceeds the specified threshold, the background music...
