The Key Filters

Source Switch Ext/Linked/Internal

With no LED lit the source comes from the ‘Internal’ signal. In the Ext position the gate

responds to the signal dynamics of another, independent signal as plugged in via the

1/4” jack. This jack works in the same way as the ‘Key Input’ jack of the DS201, DS404

or DS501.

Using the innovative optical infra red triggering mechanism linking can be acheived

regardless of the 500 series rack that you use. With the switch ‘Linked’ the signal

trigger of each linked channel is set by the ‘Key Filters’ section and the Threshold of the

adjacent left channel - if this is also linked this continues until the Master DS101 is

reached. Note that only adjacent channels can be linked. The Attack, Hold, Range and

Decay controls, as well as the Duck and Bypass switches remain indepentent. In this

way the triggers are the same but differing envelopes can be used for each channel.

Using External Keys

An external audio source may be used to control the Gate action, making it possible to

Gate one channel’s sound according to the dynamics of another independent signal.

For example, gating a bass guitar from a kick drum, or where a brass section can be

keyed from the most experienced player; producing a tighter, more aligned sound.

L.F. 22Hz to 3kHz

The Low Frequency control works

by attenuating frequencies below

the cut-off frequency selected.

H.F. 25Hz to 30kHz

The High Frequency control

attenuates frequencies above the

selected cut-off value.

In other words, when both filters are set, it is the range between the two settings that is

allowed to pass and is the source used to trigger the gate. The optimum use of these

controls is to momentarily operate the channel in Key Listen, and tune-into the loudest

part of the trigger source sound.
