I COMPRESSOR
The COMP processor attenuates signals above a specified THRESHOLD by a specified
RATIO.
The COMP processor can also be used as a limiter, which, with a RATIO of ∞:1, reduces the
level to the threshold. This means that the limiter's output level never actually exceeds the
threshold.

Description
This determines the level of input signal required to
trigger the compressor.
This determines the amount of compression, that is,
the change in output signal level relative to change
in input signal level.
This determines how soon the signal will be
compressed once the compressor has been
triggered.
This determines how soon the compressor returns to
its normal gain once the trigger signal level drops
below the threshold. The value is expressed as the
duration required for the level to change by 6 dB.
This sets the compressor's output signal level.
This determines how compression is applied at the
threshold. For higher knee settings, compression is
applied gradually as the signal exceeds the specified
threshold, creating a more natural sound.

Range Description
This determines the level of input signal
required to trigger the expander.
This determines the amount of expansion.
This determines how soon the expander
returns to its normal gain once the trigger
signal level exceeds the threshold.
This determines how soon the signal is
expanded once the signal level drops below
the threshold. The value is expressed as the
duration required for the level to change by
6 dB.
This sets the expander's output signal level.
This determines how expansion is applied at
the threshold. For higher knee settings,
expansion is applied gradually as the signal
exceeds the specified threshold, creating a
more natural sound.
