Master
A simple mastering chain to control the final output of the mix. The processing chain includes a Bass Mono stage, which uses a Linkwitz-Riley filter to split the signal at a specified frequency and make it mono up to that frequency, as inspired by Ableton Live's utility device. After the Bass Mono stage, a compressor with three presets is available (soft/medium/hard) - or it may be turned off.
The history of the last few samples is used to display a lissajous curve.
Controls
| Control | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| K2 | Bass mono | Sums the stereo mix into a mono mix up to a specified frequency: 20Hz (off), 50Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz, 20kHz (full mono) |
| K3 | Compressor preset | Cycles back and forth due to sudden jumps in output levels: off, soft, medium, hard |
| E2 | Drive (0dB to +24dB) | Pre-compressor drive |
| E3 | Output amp (-INF, -60dB to 0dB) | Sets the output amplification level |
The settings of each compressor preset are as follows:
| Parameter | Soft | Medium | Hard |

| Attack | 10ms | 10ms | 10ms |
| Release | 300ms | 300ms | 300ms |
