The VM-3100 contains two mono compressors. Compressors are
important signal-processing devices that serve two basic purposes:
• A compressor helps you control level fluctuations in a signal by
lowering the level of any audio that exceeds a specified volume
threshold. This allows you to raise the level of the entire signal
without worrying that the loud parts will be too loud.
• Since a compressor narrows the difference between the loudest
parts of a signal and the quietest parts, it subtly changes the nature
of a signal, making it sound tighter and more polished.
Each of the two onboard compressors can process the signal in any
one of the VM-3100’s channels.
Here’s how to compress a channel’s signal using Compressor 1:
1. To select Compressor 1, press COMP 1 / 2.
VM-3100Pro Only:
Hold down SHIFT and press EFFECTS1
(COMP1).
2. Turn the VALUE dial to select the number of the desired channel.
3. Press F1-F4 ON/OFF.
4. Press F1 until “→On” appears just above it in the display. Press F1
once more to turn on Compressor 1.
To compress a channel’s signal using Compressor 2:
1. Hold down SHIFT and press COMP 1/2.
