002: Compressor

(Stereo Compressor)
This effect compresses the input signal to regulate the
level and give a “punchy” effect. It is useful for guitar,
piano, and drum sounds. This is a stereo compressor.
You can link left and right channels, or use each chan ‐
nel separately.
a: Envelope Select
This parameter selects whether the left and right channels are
linked to control both signals simultaneously, or whether each
channel is controlled independently.
b: Sensitivity, f: Output Level
The “Sensitivity” parameter sets the sensitivity of the com-
pressor. If this parameter is set to a higher value, lower level
sounds will be boosted. With a higher Sensitivity, the overall
volume level is higher. To adjust the final volume level, use
the “Output Level” parameter.
c: Attack
This parameter controls the attack level.
003: Limiter

(Stereo Limiter)
The Limiter regulates the input signal level. It is similar
to the Compressor, except that the Limiter compresses
only signals that exceed the specified level to lower
unnecessary peak signals. The Limiter applies a peak ‐
ing ‐ type EQ to the trigger signal (which controls the
degree of the Limiter effect), allowing you to set any
band width to be covered. This effect is a stereo limiter.
You can link left and right channels, or use each chan ‐
nel individually.
a: Envelope Select
When L/R Mix is selected for this parameter, the left and right
channels are linked to control the Limiter using the mixed sig-
nal. If
L Only (or R Only ) is selected, the left and right chan-
nels are linked, and the Limiter is controlled via only the left
(or right) channel.
With
L/R individually , the left and right channels control the
Limiter individually.
b: Ratio, c: Threshold [dB], e: Gain Adjust [dB]
This parameter sets the signal compression “Ratio”. Com-
pression is applied only when the signal level exceeds the
“Threshold” value.
