Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio
signal. For signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic
range, effectively making soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall
level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently high-level sound.
This instrument features a Master Compressor which is applied to the entire sound of this instrument.
Although preset Master Compressor settings are provided, you can also create and save your original Master
Compressor by adjusting the related parameters.
NOTE
Master Compressor cannot be applied to an audio file or the Metronome sound.
