This is the default compressor module when using ProChannel on a track. This module is

meticulously modelled after one of the most renowned and famous solid-state (F.E.T.) compressors

that is used in professional studios and recordings. Known to bring out the brightness and presence

of a sound. Commonly used on vocal tracks, but also recommended for stereo drum buses and

guitar tracks.

The PC76 U-Type Channel Compressor module contains the following controls:

• Clipping LED. Shows if the input signal to the Compressor module is clipping. If there is any

distortion in the ProChannel signal chain, the clipping LEDs let you identify where the clipping

occurs.

• Compressor enable/disable . Enables/disables the PC76 U-Type Channel Compressor

module.

• VU meter. Shows the amount of gain reduction.

• Input. Determines the relative threshold and total amount of gain reduction. The valid range is -

Note: The PC76 U-Type Channel Compressor is faithfully modelled after the hardware circuitry

of a classic compressor that does not support sidechaining. Consequently, the PC76 U-Type

Channel Compressor does not support sidechaining either. If you need to use sidechaining, use

the PC4K S-Type Bus Compressor mode.
