ATTACK: Sets the compressor’s attack time, ranging from 1 ms (fast) to 200 ms (slow);
RELEASE: Sets the compressor’s release time, ranging from 0.1 S (fast) to 3.2 S(slow);
SHMOD:
Controls the shape of the compressor’s attack curve. It allows you to fine-tune
the attack behaviour, in order to adapt it to any audio source.
THRESHOLD:
Sets the threshold of the compressor, ranging from -40 dB to +10 dB;
MIX: It determines the mix proportion between the original (dry) and ‘effected’ (wet) signals.
You’ll find this a very powerful and simple-to-use feature.
OUTPUT:
Sets the output gain compensation (MAKEUP), in order to match the level of the
compressed signal with the original.
RATIO:
This knob sets the compression ratio, available values range from 1:1 to 6:1.
FILTER: This knob allows you to manage the IRR sidechain filter included in this new com-
pressor; working in External sidechain mode so it doesn’t affect the direct audio signal.
The frequencies range (Hz): OFF (bypass); 40 to 300.
GAIN REDUCTION METER:
Measures the reduction level applied by compressor. The
meter indicates ‘0’ in the absence of an input signal or any gain reduction. If the signal
exceeds the compression threshold or limit level, the amount of gain reduction is shown.
INPUT – OUTPUT METERS: Measure the input and output levels of the plug-in.
Input Trim:
A one-knob internal gain structure control linking the input and output gain
stages with an inverse law. This control sets the input level from -24dB to +24dB, and it is
used to adjust the plugin’s internal level. Note: when the preamp stage is bypassed (OFF),
the ‘Input Trim’ mode has no effect. It is possible to increase the harmonic saturation with
this Input trim knob.
SOA control:
An acronym derived from ‘safe operating area’; This is a gain control added
to find the sweet spot of the compressor (comfort zone) so that the attack and release times
always work properly and con sistently, even with ‘weak’ signals. An Overflow LED (OVF)
has been added to this control, this warns you about possible clipping and unpredictable
behavior due to excessive input levels to the compressor.
Pre:
Press the PRE button to activate the PREAMP.
