Origin Effects Cali76 Fet Compressor User Manual

GETTING STARTED GUIDE
A fast attack time allows the
compressor to catch transients
early on. A slower release stops the
compressor from pumping. These
settings sound natural and balance
playing dynamics.
DYNAMIC CONTROL
A slower attack time allows the
compressor to accentuate the start
of any note. A fast release time lets
the compressor recover between
notes so that phrases sound more
percussive.
