Compressor interface

Touch this icon to activate/deactivate the Compressor for the selected channel. It will

light up to indicate that the compressor has been enabled. The display shows the

compressor setting in real time. Change the parameters by turning the Encoder (36) and

set the values of Gain, Threshold, Attack, Release & Ratio by turning the corresponding

controls or by touching the up & left & down & right keys to choose the function which

you want to modify. Please note that the parameters can be adjusted only if the

Compressor has been enabled.

The bar above the “ON/OFF” will light up when a signal is undergoing compression.

Adjust this control to set the compressor’s threshold for the selected channel. If the

amplitude of an audio signal exceeds a certain threshold, the compressor will reduce

the level of this signal. The adjustment range is between -30 and 20 dB.

Adjust this control to set the compressor's attack setting for the selected channel. The

attack setting is the period when the compressor is decreasing gain to reach the level

that is determined by the ratio. The adjustment range is between 10 and 150

milliseconds.

Adjust this control to set the compressor for the selected channel. Release sets the

amount of time it takes the compressor to return to its normal gain once the signal level

drops below the threshold. Release can be set between 10 ms and 1seconds.

Adjust this control to set the compression ratio for the selected channel. The ratio

determines the amount of gain reduction. For example, a ratio of 4:1 means that if input

level is 4 dB over the threshold, the output signal level will be 1 dB over the threshold. The

ratio can be set between Limit and 1:1.

Adjust this control to set the compressor gain for the selected channel or bus. When

compressing a signal, gain decrease will cause the attenuation of the whole level. By

using this Gain control you can recover the lost level and readjust volume. The

adjustment range is between 0 dB (no gain adjusted) and +24 dB.

The compressor grid shows the threshold setting in real time.

The meter on the left-hand side indicates the input signal level.

The meter on the right-hand side indicates the compressor’s degree.

Note:

You can also rename the selected channel by pressing and holding the CHXX icon.
