- Use the ZOOM Cursor buttons to select "Dynamics" on the screen and then press ENTER.
- Use the ZOOM Cursor buttons and the TIME/VALUE dial to make the following settings:
- DYNAMICS Sw : ON
- DYN Type: EXPANDER
- Ration: ∞ : 1 (do this by turn the dial all the way clockwise)
- The "Threshold", "Attack" and "Release" settings will depend on the audio and personal preference.
