Origin Effects Cali76 Compact Deluxe User Manual

GETTING STARTED GUIDE
PARALLEL COMPRESSION: This best-of-both-
worlds approach balances heavy compression with
natural dynamics from the DRY control. A fat tone
with plenty of articulation.
PERCUSSIVE & LIVELY: Using a slower attack
time allows the compressor to accentuate the start
of any note. Using a fast release allows the compres-
sor to recover between notes so that phrases sound
more percussive.
