URVES
The following steps are a guideline for setting up a compressor:

.
2.
(Optional) Play a song in
Song Player
and/or play on the drum kit to hear the effect of your
edits.
3.
Tap the
[Compression]
field
which contains the input-output curve.
A dialogue pops up giving you access to the compressor parameters.

4.
Set the
[Threshold]
for the Compressor to start working.
5.
Set a
[Ratio]
of gain reduction (
GR
).
6.
(Optional)
[Boost]
the signal (Amplify the Signals to compensate for the loss in dB caused
by the
Ratio
). Try to match input and output peak meters to bring the signals back to origi-
nal dB levels without clipping.
7.
Set the character of transition (no compression
–
compression) around the
Threshold
using
[Knee]
.
8.
Set a delay for the compressor to start working as soon as the Level exceeds the
Threshold
using
[Attack]
.
9.
Set a delay for the compressor to stop working as soon as the Level drops below the
Threshold
using
[Release]
.
10.
(Optional) Save changes by storing the drum kit (pad compressors) or save your custom
compressor as a preset (pad Compressors and output compressors).
Hint:
Pad Compressors are part of the drum kit parameters and can be saved by saving the
drum kit or creating a new drum kit (direct storage as “custom setting”). Output compressors
in
General Settings
are stored in the device database and are remembered on next start.
However, it is recommended to save out a preset to prevent the settings from being overwrit-
ten or discarded as soon as you change the drum kit.
