M/S Mode
The integration of an M/S encoder and decoder into an audio
processor generates new potentials that classic stereo devices
can hardly offer. One of the main advantages is the possibility
to process the middle and side signals separately. This way you can make
the center sound more solid without corrupting the original stereo spec-
trum, for example.
The most interesting option here is the unlinked M/S mode, as it gives
you the possibility to process the mid and the side signals completely
independent from each other (remember left becomes mid channel and
right becomes side channel).
You can apply a high amount of saturation to the mid and leave the sides
completely untouched, or the other way round, or anything in between...
Different settings of the gain controllers can be used to create subtle or
significant changes within the stereo spectrum.
The Left On button always switches both channels when the karacter is oper-
ating in linked or unlinked M/S mode.
