A plug-in can't work as a stand-alone program. It must be always accessed from within the host application. Once the plug-in has been installed, it can be called up directly by the appropriate menu in the host application. System Requirements Mac ­ Mac OS X PowerMac G3/300 MHz processor Mac OS X 10. 2. 8 or later At least 32MB RAM CX1V supports the Audio Units and VST plug-in formats on Mac OS X based systems. PC - Windows 200 MHz Pentium processor or 100% equivalent Microsoft Windows 9x / ME / NT4 / 2000 / XP At least 32MB RAM CX1V supports the VST, DirectX and SAWStudio plug-in formats on Windows based systems. Demo version limitations The following restriction applies to the demo version of CX1V: Every 15 seconds a "beep" occurs CX1V User Guide 5 www. anwida. com CX1V compressor / expander Overview CX1V compressor / expander Overview CX1V is a professional compressor/expander plug-in. This unit offers an easy to use interface that drives a sophisticated and flexible dynamic control algorithm. The wide number of control parameters and features (e. g. look ahead, hard/soft knee), makes the CX1V the tool of choice to control the dynamic of vocal parts, instruments or complex mixes. Additionally, the expansion capability of the CX1V can be used to improve old audio recordings by restoring a more natural dynamic and an improved signal to noise ratio. CX1V compressor/expander has been designed to obtain an extremely transparent action with a natural and smooth response. Main features: Extremely transparent compression action 64 bit internal precision Delay compensation on hosts supporting PDC Highly optimized DSP code Ultra clean and noiseless processing 24bit/96Khz support Factory presets* Parameter automation* Preset change automation** Stereo out (mono stereo, stereo stereo) * depending on host application ** SAWStudio version only CX1V User Guide 6 www. anwida. com Using CX1V All the effect parameters are accessible and editable using a few number of controls. 1 Threshold knob: specifies the RMS input level (in dB below 0dBFS) above which compression or expansion starts acting. 2 Attack knob: controls the time constant in ms for attack time. This time constant specifies the amount of time the compressor takes to respond when the input level rises above the threshold. [. . . ] 4 Close button: closes the effect interface. The right mouse button click on the plug-in interface shows a popup menu containing the following commands: 1 Bypass: disables the effect. 2 Built-In Presets: shows the list of the built-in presets.
