Compressor

The standard compression device with variable
settings for threshold, attack, release, compression
ratio and makeup gain. It also includes a “soft
knee” setting to provide a gradual transition after
the threshold is reached.

Dual Compressor

A complex compression device with an expander
section and compressor with dual thresholds and
compression ratios.

Gate Compressor

A combined device offering the same features
found on both the

Gate

and the

Compressor

.

Limiter

A limiting device with variable ratio, enabling true
limiting at 10:1 or lesser values for alternative
forms of compression.

Autopanner

The autopanner provides image shifting across two
channels. This is achieved by the device controlling
the levels of the faders once panning has been set.

Autopanner events are triggerable and variable
points with variable divergence can be set. A variety of other options makes this a very flexible
tool.

Expander

A straightforward expansion device with variable
threshold, ratio, attack, hold and release times and
expansion range.
