Distance Limit The Maximum Gain control sets the absolute maximum amount of gain that can be applied to the audio in each expander band regardless of program material or any other control settings. Expander Rates Menu The Expander Rates menu provides controls for the attack and release speeds of the expanders for each band as well as attack and release speed controls for each band’s speed governors. The Expander Attack speed control determines how quickly each band’s expander will rise when the audio is in need of expansion. Faster settings will expand the audio more quickly. Using Omnia.9’s built-­‐in oscilloscope to view the Undo Control Signal patch point is very helpful for adjusting attack and release speeds as they show the gain that will be applied to the audio in each band. A detailed explanation of how to monitor various patch points within Omnia.9 is provided in the Display Settings menu of this manual. The Expander Release speed control adjusts how quickly the expander levels will fall once the expansion is no longer called for. Faster settings will allow the levels to fall more quickly. Undo also utilizes a second set of parallel expanders which look at the same input and automatically scale the attack and release characteristics of the main expanders. These Speed Governors detect when the main expanders have been operating at full speed for an extended period of time and will slow down the main expanders. The Governor Attack speed determines how long the speed governors wait before scaling back the speed of expanders. 29
