10 TRIPLE•C - SETUPS Setting up the TRIPLE•C The TRIPLE•C is a very flexible unit and may be used in numerous different setups. Here are illustrations and explanations of some of the most common setups. TRIPLE•C in a Single Channel Insert • Use the send/return connections on a single channel on your analog mixer . • Use the analog Input[...]

11 TRIPLE•C - SETUPS Setting up the TRIPLE•C EQ Insert in the TRIPLE•C Sidechain • Connect the TRIPLE•C Direct Out to the Input of the EQ and the EQ Output to the TRIPLE•C Input. • Set Sidechain to “On”. • The source signal passing the TRIPLE•C will not be directly influenced by the connected EQ unit, however the EQ will allow[...]

13 I/O SETUP Please note that when using internal clock with external digital audio, the incoming digital audio must be in sync with the TRIPLE•C internal clock in order to avoid slip-samples. "***Rate Mismatch****" This Error message will occur in the display if the TRIPLE•C detects slip-samples. T ypically this problem only occurs i[...]

14 MIDI CC Range: On/Off. Determines whether the TRIPLE•C should respond to MIDI Continuous Controllers or not. On page 29 you will find a list of the TRIPLE•C Continuous Controllers. Program bank Determines which bank an external MIDI device will address in the TRIPLE•C when sending a program change. The options are: Factory , User or Extern[...]

15 RECALL - EDIT - ST ORE Presets in general The TRIPLE•C holds 50 factory presets (ROM bank) and you are able store 100 additional user presets in the RAM bank. When scrolling through the presets you will locate the user presets after the 50 factory presets. Recall T o recall a preset: • Press MENU. • Dial the V ALUE SET wheel until the disp[...]

16 FULL-RANGE MODE Full-range mode is the mode typically found in standard Compressors. Threshold, Ratio, Attack and Release settings apply for the entire frequency area. T o select the Full-range Mode • ENVELOPE MODE key LED must be off/unlit. • MUL TI-BAND OFF LED must be lit. Input Section Input Level Adjusts the Input level of the TRIPLE•[...]

17 FULL-RANGE MODE Edit Menu T o enter the Edit menu • Press MENU. • Use the V ALUE SET wheel to select the Edit menu and press ENTER. DRG - Digital Radiance Generator Range: 1-10 With this parameter you can add second harmonic distortion. This is a commonly used tube-simulation that will add warmth to the signal. External Sidechain Range: Off,[...]

18 MUL TI-BAND MODE Multi-band mode - is a 3 band compression mode. By dividing the source material into 3 frequency areas you can avoid that peaks at certain frequencies controls the com pression of the entire signal. By setting the Lo and Hi Cross- over frequencies you determine the range of the Frequency areas. T o select Multi-band mode • ENV[...]

19 MUL TI-BAND MODE Makeup Gain Bypass Press to bypass the TRIPLE•C. All processing parameters are bypassed. Input level control and all system settings found in the I/O menu are not bypassed. Level When a signal is compressed the max Output level of the signal is reduced. Since it is a reduction in dynamic content and not a gain-reduction that i[...]

20 ENVELOPE MODE T o select the Envelope mode • Press the ENVELOPE MODE key in the Spectral Adjust section. Input Section Input Level Adjusts the Input level of the TRIPLE•C. Play your source material through the TRIPLE•C and observe the Input meters in the display . Correct operation level is approx -6 to -3dBs with an occasional peak at 0dB[...]

21 ENVELOPE MODE Softlim Softlimiter on/off switch. Where a Compressor mostly is used to gradually reduce the dynamic content above the set Threshold point a limiter is used to directly avoid hitting an upper limit. Compressors and limiters are often used in conjunction. - The Compressor as the musical/gentle way of reducing the level and the Limit[...]

The TRIPLE•C can be set up to use an external source as Sidechain Input to either control or contribute to the compression of the source material. The Sidechain modes allows the TRIPLE•C to react on either: • The Sidechain Input only . (ON - mode) • A mix between the original Input and the Input present on the Sidechain. (ADD - mode) T o se[...]

23 USING COMPRESSION - INTRODUCTION Compression in general If you are an experienced user of audio Compressors you may want to skip this section, which is a general explanation of what Compressors do and how they are applied in audio production. Compression is generally used to reduce the dynamic content of an audio signal. Now , why is this necess[...]

24 USING COMPRESSION Though you can say that using a Compressor in general is about reducing the dynamic content of a signal thereby having better control, there are many different angles on how to use compression. Depending on the specific application you may have different starting points and goals when you apply compression. As personal style al[...]

25 USING COMPRESSION The meters on the TRIPLE•C are excellent tools to achieve this. Lets have a closer look at the meters. When no signal passes through the unit the gain is illustrated like this: T ry turning the Make-up Level knob to change the level. If no compression is applied you are now actually changing the Output level. When the signal [...]

26 IMPORT ANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Please read, keep, and follow these instructions before connecting this unit. Heed all warnings and instructions.
