Compressor / Limiter
A compressor is a threshold driven process used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal by applying gain reduction
when the signal level exceeds the threshold and applying ‘make-up gain’ to keep the overall level consistent. The
compressor includes an automatic make-up gain function.
A Limiter is a dynamics process used to limit peak signal level by reducing signal level as it approaches or exceeds the threshold.

Compressor
Threshold
Field / Group: CMP Range Low Range High
Adjust the threshold of
the compressor
When the signal exceeds the threshold, it will be
attenuated according to the compression settings.
-40dB +18dB
Compressor In Field / Group: CMP Inactive Active
Activate the compressor
process.
The the compression process is activated, the
compression trnasform graphic in the dynamics touch
screen area will be highlighted in green.

Compressor
Attack Field / Group: ATCK Range Low Range High
Adjust the compressor
attack time.
The time it takes for the compression function to reach
full attenuation after the threshold has been reached.
The slower the attack time, the 'softer' the compression.

The time it takes for the compression function to return
to zero attentuation after full attentuation has been
reached.
