+Using compressor/gate functions
+The Comp/Gate function provides access to gate, compression, limiter, de-esser and
+kick drum presets with adjustable parameters.
+Note: To bypass the Comp/Gate settings, press the Type button. Press it again to
+activate.
+. Rotate the Type button to access the list of Comp/Gate effects and highlight
+your choice:
+* Compressor 1: Light
+** Compressor featuring a preset low-compression ratio with variable threshold and
+gain parameters. Works well as a general-purpose compressor for most instruments
+and microphones that require minimal level control.
+* Compressor 2: Medium
+** Compressor featuring a preset moderate compression ratio with variable threshold
+and gain parameters. Works well with basses, guitars, keyboards, and vocals
+requiring subtle level control.
+* Compressor 3: Heavy
+** Compressor featuring a preset high compression ratio with variable threshold and
+gain parameters. Works well with loud instruments – like horns and drums, as well
+as strong vocals that require more aggressive level control.
+*Limiter
+#Hard limiter featuring a preset ratio (8:1) with variable threshold and gain parameters.
+Works well with very loud instruments, such as drums, to prevent signal peaks
+from overloading the channel.
+*De-Esser
+**Side-chained compressor featuring a preset compression ratio with variable
+threshold and gain parameters. Designed to reduce sibilance on vocals.
+Noise Gate....................... Noise gate with a fast preset attack time, variable threshold, and variable speed
+(release time). Well-suited for eliminating unwanted noise from microphones and
+instruments.
+*KickGate 1: Regular
+*Gate featuring a preset attack time, and variable threshold and tightness (release
+time) parameters. This is a Bose® proprietary technology designed specifically for
+kick drums. This robust gate provides maximum gain before feedback, making your
+kick drum as loud as possible through an L1TM system.
+**KickGate 2: Fast
+*Same as KickGate 1 – but adjusted for faster tempos. Select this setting if you are
+using a double bass drum pedal.
+. Press the Select button to select your choice, or press the Cancel button to exit the list with no change.
+. For Comp1-3, Limiter, De-Ess:
+Rotate the Thresh button to adjust the input threshold (trigger) level from
+-50dB to 0dB. Rotate the Gain button to adjust the gain from 0dB to 30.0dB. The gain bar above the button
+shows the amount of gain reduction. This display helps in setting the threshold.
+For Gate: Rotate the Thresh button to adjust the input threshold (trigger) level from -90dB to -30dB. Rotate
+the Speed button to set the gate closing speed to any value from 0 (fastest) to 100% (slowest).
+For Kick1-2: Rotate the Thresh button to adjust the input threshold (trigger) level from -20dB to 0dB.
