Gate and Compression
Compressor Display and Controls
The Compressor Display is
quite similar to that of the Gate.
The dragable ball controls for the
compressor include the Gain [G],
Threshold [T], Ratio [R].
The Gain ball adjusts the output
gain. It lies on the far left of the
display and may only be dragged
up and down.
The Threshold ball may be
dragged up and down on a 45˚ axis.
The Ratio ball is anchored to the far
right of the display and may only be
dragged up and down. It will always
be above the threshold.
On the far right are the
compressor controls. The gain,
threshold and ratio may be
changed here, as well.
Two additional compressor
controls also available for tweaking
are attack and release. These time-
based controls may be changed by
dragging the sliders left and right.
The time is shortest to the left,
resulting in a faster response. As
the slider is dragged right, the time
lengthens, resulting in a
slower response.

Gate/Compressor Meters
Between the Gate and
Compressor Display and their
corresponding controls lies a
set of vertical meters. These three
meters indicate their individual
Input [IN], Gain Reduction [GR]
and Output [OUT].
Use these meters to get the
desired amount of gain reduction
from the Gate and Compressor.
