Module Controls

• The Reset Button – resets all of a module’s parameters to their default states.
• The Solo Button – bypasses all processing outside of the module being soloed except for master controls (polarity, input and output trim).
• The In Button – toggles the enablement of each module. If disabled, a module’s processing is bypassed and its effects will not be heard.

Master Controls

The master controls consist of the Input, Output and Routing sections at the bottom of the plugin editor. The controls in these sections allow you to invert the input polarity, adjust the input & output trim, and set the routing order between processing elements.

The Routing section displays the order of signal flow between the elements from left to right.

• The “Ear” Icon buttons below the routing arrows indicate Router Listen points.
• The Polarity button in the far left of the Routing section inverts the phase of the input signal when toggled on.
• The Solo/Listen Clear button at the top-left corner clears any active Routing Listen point as well as any modules that are soloed.
• The Input and Output sections to the left and right of the routing section contain the master Input and Output Trim controls which can be used to control the gain staging as necessary.

Processing Elements – Drum Character

The Drum Character is an EQ that detects the transients of drum hits and allows you to EQ their Attack and Tail ranges separately. The Threshold slider attached to the input meter on the left sets the level at which the Drum Character EQ gets triggered.

Waveform Display

When a new drum hit is detected, its transient waveform will be shown on the Waveform Display at the bottom. The Waveform Display has controls for setting the Attack and Tail ranges of the transient.

EQ Displays

Adjust the EQ settings for the Attack and Tail ranges using the EQ displays at the top of the module. The Attack and Tail EQs each have 2 bands which are labeled 1 and 2. The bands can be adjusted by clicking and dragging them on the graphs or by using the corresponding controls below the graphs.

EQ Controls

The EQ control sections below the graph allow for more advanced control over the bands’ parameters. Each of the 4 band control sections contain controls for the corresponding band’s Enablement, Shape, Frequency, Q, and Gain. Each band has the following shape options:

• Low Shelf / High Shelf (12 dB/Octave), Bell, Notch

Auto/Quick Solo

The Auto Solo function allows you to isolate the individual ranges while you adjust their controls.

Expander/Gate

The Expander/Gate is a dynamics processor that attenuates signals below a set threshold.

• Threshold: Sets the dB level in which the Expander/Gate opens.
• Reduction Meter: Displays the level of gain reduction in dB.
• Depth: sets the amount of gain reduction that is applied when the Expander/Gate is fully closed.
• Attack: sets the amount of milliseconds it takes for the Expander/Gate to open fully once the Threshold has been exceeded.
• Release: sets the amount of milliseconds it takes for the Expander/Gate to close all the way once the input signal falls below the Threshold.
• Mode: toggles between Gate and Expander mode.

Signal Generator

The Signal Generator offers a convenient way to enhance drum hits with various types of synthesized signals, such as white noise on a snare or a low-frequency sine wave on a kick.

• Gate Controls – The Signal Generator has Threshold, Hold, Attack and Release controls for setting the signal gate.
  
• Filters – high and low pass Filters which can be used to filter the generated signal as needed and are especially useful for shaping white noise.
• Presets – The Kick and Snare preset buttons can be used to quickly dial-in settings based on the type of signal being processed.
• Signal Listen – allows you to listen to the generated signal only.
• Wet & Dry Level – can be used to balance the levels of the Wet (generated) signal and the Dry (input) signal.

Compressor

The Compressor is based on the Harrison Mixbus channel strip compressor with the addition of Attack and Release controls.

• Threshold: sets the dB level in which gain reduction starts to occur.
• Reduction Meter: shows the level of gain reduction in dB.
  
• Ratio: determines the amount of gain reduction applied for every decibel the input signal exceeds the Threshold
• Attack: the amount of milliseconds it takes for the gain reduction to reach full attenuation once the input signal passes the Threshold.
• Release: the amount of milliseconds it takes for the signal to return to its original, uncompressed state once the input signal falls below the Threshold.
• Makeup: is used to boost the gain of the output signal to compensate for any gain that was lost during compression.
  

32C Channel EQ

The 32C Channel EQ is modeled after the analog EQ found on the Harrison 32C channel strip. It has four bands with Frequency and Gain controls, optional high & low shelf filters, and an Output Trim control.

Filters

The Filter module contains a Low-Pass Filter (LPF) and a High-Pass Filter (HPF) with variable slopes.

Extra features of the Harrison AVA-series plugins

• Momentary Bypass – bypasses the plugin for as long as it’s held. This is useful for auditioning A/B comparisons quickly.
• The Settings Button – reveals a pop-up menu where the window size and theme can be adjusted. It also contains a link to the plugin manual and version info at the bottom.
