Attack
The ATK control adjusts the time for the gate to open and pass the signal
through once the signal exceeds the threshold after reduction has occurred.
ATK is adjustable in the range 1–30 ms. ATK is scaled such that the faster
settings can have finer adjustments. The default ATK is 1 ms.
Release
The REL control adjusts the time for the gate to close and begin gain reduction
after the signal drops below the threshold and the hold time has passed. REL
is adjustable from 50 ms to 3 s and is scaled such that faster settings can have
finer the adjustments. The default REL time is 250 ms.
Expander/Gate Mode
The EXPANDER/GATE switch toggles from Gate to Expander. It is accessible
only from the GATE/EXP Touchscreen, not from DYNAMICS. In Expander
mode, the, HOLD, ATK and REL controls operate the same as in Gate mode
but the RANGE control is displayed as RATIO. This can produce smoother
sounding gain reduction in many situations.
In Expander Mode, RANGE is replaced by RATIO that sets the rate of gain re-
duction as the signal drops below the Threshold. Ratio is variable between 1:20
(maximum gain reduction) to 1:1 (no gain reduction). As RATIO approaches to
1:1, the resolution between values increases.

Snapshots
Snapshots are not presently available from the Touchscreen but can be edited
from the TT control software. This section presents the TT control screens and
instructions for their use.
Press the SNAP QuickMix button to open the SNAPSHOTS window in TT con-
trol (or choose Snapshots from the main TT control menu). The left side of the
window displays a vertical list of all snapshots with PROTECT, CLEAR,
STORE, and RECALL buttons below (Figure 6-17).
Touch a snapshot name in the SNAPSHOT TITLE field to select it. An empty
snapshot slot displays
