Parameter
Description
Depth
Threshold
This value determines the threshold at which the Compressor starts to
work.
Amount
The amount of compression effect, sometimes called Ratio in typical appli-
cations.
Knee
This parameter defines how the Compressor starts to work: with a low set-
ting, the transition into compression is soft, whereas with a high setting,
the Compressor abruptly starts to work once the threshold is reached.
Time
Attack
Use
Attack
to adjust how fast the Compressor reacts on the incoming sig-
nal: the more you dial it to the right, the slower it will react. Longer Attack
times let more transients through.
Release
The time the compressor will take to stop compressing after the input sig-
nal falls below the threshold. With longer release times it takes more time
to get back to normal.
Output
Gain
Use
Gain
control to adjust the volume of the resulting signal; sometimes
called “make-up gain” as it can be used to compensate for any reduction
in the signal induced by the settings above.
The Compressor on the controller.
8.1.2
Gate
The Gate cuts any part of the input signal which falls below the input threshold. This can be
used to rhythmically chop the signal and make it stutter or sound staccato.
