Gain Timed

This gain control automatically raises or attenuates the signal over a fixed, user set time. Four gain values can be set along with the time for the gain control to reach this final value, beginning from the current value on the fader. Each of these can be individually invoked. Invoking any of the set gains will override any gain change currently taking place.

Inputs and Outputs

One audio input and one audio output.

Control Panel

Gain Fader

• The gain fader moves while the change of gain is in progress. Can also be used to manually adjust the gain from +10dB down to -infinity (off) in the same manner as the basic gain object.

Mute Button

• Mutes the output.

Polarity Button

• Inverts the signal

Gain Set

• Up to four final gain settings can be set either by entering the values in the box or using the up/down spin pairs.

Time Set

• Set how long it should take for each of the gains to reach their final values, beginning from the current value on the fader.

Fade Button

• Press one of these buttons to start the associated timed gain.

Indicators

• The indicator will flash on and off for a timed gain which has been invoked until the gain fader reaches the final value. When no gain change is taking place the indicators next to any of the gains which are at the same value as the fader will be ON.

Cancel Fade Button

• Press this to immediately stop the gain change.

Properties

Subrange: The maximum and minimum values the gain can control can be set to. This could be useful to prevent clipping by limiting the maximum gain for example.

Notes

! This object is capable of raising signal levels beyond the clipping point, so care should be exercised when using positive gain values.
