Compressor
Single press
Bypass
to disable the Compressor (button turns yellow). Press again to enable
the Compressor (button goes dark). Default is Bypass.
The
Compressor Curve
indicates the gain relationship between input signals and output
signals. The curve is split into two parts – below and above the
Threshold
value.
Any signal below the threshold will pass the compressor virtually unmodified, while signals
above the threshold will be attenuated (i.e. compressed).

Compressor
Parameter Adjustment
The Compressor Parameters can be adjusted on-screen by selecting and dragging the
Attack and Release faders and by “turning” (touch and drag) the Compressor rotary control
knob.
The
Attack
fader adjusts the Attack Time, which ranges from 0.5ms to 100ms. Default is
25ms.
The
Release
fader adjusts the Release Time, which ranges from 20ms to 5s. Default is
350ms which is compatible with most sound sources.
Turning the
Threshold/Ratio
rotary control knob in a clockwise direction increases the
amount of compression by decreasing the
Threshold
level (the point at which compression
begins) and increasing the
Compression Ratio
. Turning the Compressor knob anticlockwise
reduces the Compression Ratio and increases the Threshold level.
The Threshold level can range from -80dB to 0dB, and the Compression Ratio can range
from 1:1 to 20:1. Default is 1:1.

Library
The Library function allows you to save and load up to 16 User Dynamics presets. Tap the
dropdown button, select a preset from the list and tap OK to load its Dynamics settings. Tap
the Save button and select the desired Library Slot (1 – 16) from the list to save the current
Dynamics settings. A soft keyboard pop-up will appear on screen, allowing you to name the
preset. Finally press Confirm to save the setting or Cancel to abandon.
PLEASE NOTE: On your digiLiVE console, any numerical parameter value that is
controlled by either an on-screen fader or an on-screen rotary control, can also be
entered manually. This is done simply by single-tapping the box containing the
number that you wish to edit, at which point your device’s on-screen keyboard will
appear and allow you to manually enter a number for that parameter value.
