6 DEVICE OVERVIEW
5.2 Signal Connection
The second step is to integrate the cmp1 to your Eurorack system.
Connect an audio signal like a VCO, sound source or any other audio signal to
one of the
Main input and connect the Out jack to your studio system.
Connections are made by using mini patch cables. These cables have standard
mono male-male mini plugs (3.5mm) and can be bought from any audio store.
6 Device Overview
A Compressor Module for the Eurorack world? Really? Ok, as an outboard
gear in a recording studio and maybe as a pedal for guitar, but for a modular?
Yes, true!
Waldorf made it. The fantastic cmp1 compressor module. It’s
unusual, but it makes sense and it’s worth to be added to your permanent
module environment.
The Waldorf cmp1 implements a fully featured analogue compressor with
specific CV controls for use in a modular context. The analogue compressor
engine is VCA-based using the same components you find otherwise in
high-end analogue compressors.
Additional features like the output of the
detection signal, CV control of compressor ratio and threshold, and the external
level input makes the cmp1 a flexible work-horse to be used in many modular
patches.
Loops and basses crying out for compression to get fat and juicy. Clicks and
bleeps become razor sharp and piercing out your tunes and may you try the
classic side chaining effect with uncommon audio sources.
6.1 Inputs
The Main input is used to feed the audio through the compressor. If the Side
input isn’t used, the audio from the main input is also used for the level detection
circuit.
By using the Side input, the level detector is fed by a mix controlled of the
Balance knob which blends between main and the side signal. If the Balance
knob is fully opened, the classical side chain compression is applied, if the
Balance knob is fully closed, only the main signal is used for level detection,
and any position in-between allows for flexible control of the level detector.
