Sidechain Filter (SCF):

 A tunable low cut filter in the side-

chain of the xpressor 500 avoids overcompression and pump-

ing when there is a lot of low end energy in the mix.

Gain Reduction Limiter (GRL):

 Restricts the control volt-

age. This innovative limiter is not placed in the audio path as 

usual, but in the control circuit of the compressor. (p. 11)

Gain:

 The make-up gain of the xpressor 500. This control-

ler compensates for the loss in gain caused by the compres-

sion process.

Mix:

 The direct and the compressed signal can be blended 

in any desired relation by simply turning the mix controller. 

Onboard parallel compression!

Gain Reduction Meter:

 The display for the gain reduction 

process. Shows the amount of compression measured in dB as 

an visual support for the acoustic events.

GRL LED:

 indicates Gain Reduction Limiter activity. If this 

LED is on, incoming signals will be held at the GR limit instead 

of being compressed any further. (p. 11)

Auto Fast:

 A semi-automation. This function shortens the 

attack time automatically on fast and loud signal impulses and 

then returns to the value set with the controller. (p. 7) 

Log Release (Log Rel):

 This alternative release curve fol-

lows a logarithmic course instead of the standard linear prog-

ress which results in a very gentle kind of compression. (p. 8)

Warm Mode:

 The xpressor 500 offers a second switchable 

sound  flavor  by  altering  its  frequency  spectrum,  harmonics 

and transient response. (p. 9)

Hit It!

 Activates the xpressor 500 (LED on) or deactivates it 

with a hardwire bypass (GR meter remains active).
