3 Overview

CS-5501 is a multi functional channel strip providing all necessary tools to process all kind of

audio signals like vocals and instruments.

CS-5501 comes with double EQ/compressor/limiter/gate/expander/de-esser modules,

saturation and thermal noise emulation. All modules have stereo placement options and are

freely routable. Some of the effect modules have external side chain options.

CS-5501 provides also IN/OUT/GR VU meter, IN/OUT fader, extensive monitoring functions

and over sampling.

On top CS-5501 adds a new function called AB-LM Lite providing perceptual loudness

matching.

4 Minimum System Requirements

 Windows 7, OpenGL 2 GFX card

 Mac OS X 10.11, Metal GFX card

 SSE2 CPU

 Win: 32/64 Bit VST, 32/64 Bit VST3, 32/64 Bit AAX

 OS X: 64 Bit VST, 64 Bit VST3, 64 Bit AU, 64 Bit AAX

 Tested with: Cockos Reaper, Steinberg Cubase/Nuendo/Wavelab 6+, FL Studio 12+,

PT2018+, Reason 9.5+, Studio One, Ableton Live

5 Plugin Controls

Mouse usage:

Click and drag horizontally changes parameter value

Shift click and drag changes parameter value slower

Ctrl click resets to default value, double click on text opens text entry

Please note that any parameter change of an effect parameter also enables the unit itself (auto

activation)

5.1 Preset

5.1.1 Preset

Preset menu loads and saves user presets. Presets

stored under %localappdata%/CS5501V2 (Windows)

or /Users/xxx/Library/Application Support/ CS5501 V2 (Mac OSX) are imported as user

presets. Previous and next buttons step trough all factory presets.

The parameter randomizer modifies the current parameter set on a random base, only active

modules.

5.2 Meter section

5.2.1 Meter

Left/Right IN/OUT VU meter with standard ballistics. Left value

shows the current meter value (in dB/LU/VU), right value shows the

maximum value. Mouse click on the meter resets the meter. The red

LED indicates values above 0;

5.2.2 Meter mode

Click here to change the meter mode: PEAK (dB), RMS (dB), EBU ML (LU), EBU

SL (LU) and VU (dBVU). RMS uses 600ms ballistics, VU 300ms.

5.2.3 Meter calibration

Controls the reference level of Left/Right IN/OUT meter, in dBFS.

5.2.4 Meter display mode

Set the current meter display mode: IN, GR (gain reduction) or OUT.

5.2.5 Monitor

Controls the main monitor mode: either stereo (normal), left, right, mid

or side signal.

5.2.6 Monitor mode

Set the monitor mode either to in-place or centred.

5.2.7 Bypass

Global plugin by-pass.

5.3 Clip protection & OS

5.3.1 Clip protection

Toggles clip protection. If enabled signal is clipped at ceiling level, in dBFS.

The red LED lights if signal is above ceiling level, regardless if clip protected is

enabled or not. The clip module can be positioned either post or pre fader.

Please refer to chapter 5.15.

5.3.2 Over sampling

Incoming signal could be over-sampled up to 2 or 4 times. Over sampling reduces

magnitude/phase distortions near Nyquist frequency and let the filter sound much

more "analogue".

5.4 Fader section

5.4.1 Input/output fader

CS-5501 provides independent left/right faders for incoming and

outgoing signal. Double click on the fader handle enables direct

value input.

5.4.2 Input phase

This control lets you invert the phase of incoming left and right signal

5.4.3 Link input/output fader

Toggles linkage of left and right input/output fader.

5.4.4 Link output to input fader (VST2/VST3/AU)

If enabled movement of input faders changes output fader in reverse direction.

5.5 AB-LM Lite

Please refer to chapter 6.

5.6 AB-LM Lite gain freeze

Freezes AB-LM Lite gain and switches AB-LM Lite to off. Small yellow LED

indicates if freeze gain is active. Please refer to chapter 6.

5.7 Routing

This section controls the order of the individual modules. Left click the slot where you want

to change the effect and select the new effect from the drop-down menu.

Shift left click just calls the respective module. Mouse wheel scrolls through

the menu.

The yellow LED indicates the activation of the effect. Click with left mouse

button to activate/deactivated the effect, shift click to show the effect module

in the GUI.

The blue solo button indicates the solo state of the module. Click to solo/un-

solo the effect module. Shift mouse click adds module to solo group.
