7. Compressor Edit. Opens the Compressor view on the
touchscreen and provides additional parameters.
Soft Knee. Engages soft-knee compression. In normal operating mode,
the compressor is set for hard-knee compression, meaning that the gain
reduction applied to the signal occurs as soon as the signal exceeds
the level set by the threshold. When the Soft Knee button is engaged,
the ratio increases gradually as the signal reaches the threshold.
Auto. Enables the automatic attack and release mode. When Auto mode is
active, the Attack and Release controls become inoperative, and preprogrammed
attack and release curves are used. The attack is set to 10 ms, and the release is
set to 150 ms. All other compressor parameters can still be adjusted manually.
3.2.4
Limiter
1. Limiter Threshold. Sets the threshold of the limiter for the selected channel or
output bus. When the signal’s amplitude (level) exceeds the threshold setting, the
limiter is engaged. The threshold can be set from -28 to 0 dB.
2. Limiter On. Toggles the limiter for the selected input channel or output bus.
When the limiter is engaged the button will illuminate. The ratio is ∞:1.
