12.2.1.2.2 EDITING COMPRESSOR CURVES
The following steps are a guideline for setting up a compressor:
1. Turn Compressor [on].
2. (Optional) Play a song in Song Player and/or play on the drum kit to hear the effect of your
edits.
3. Tap the [Compression] field which contains the input-output curve.
A dialogue pops up giving you access to the compressor parameters.

4. Set the [Threshold] for the Compressor to start working.
5. Set a [Ratio] of gain reduction (GR).
6. (Optional) [Boost] the signal (Amplify the Signals to compensate for the loss in dB caused
by the Ratio). Try to match input and output peak meters to bring the signals back to origi-
nal dB levels without clipping.
7. Set the character of transition (no compression – compression) around the Threshold using
[Knee].
8. Set a delay for the compressor to start working as soon as the Level exceeds the Threshold
using [Attack].
9. Set a delay for the compressor to stop working as soon as the Level drops below the
Threshold using [Release].
10. (Optional) Save changes by storing the drum kit (pad compressors) or save your custom
compressor as a preset (pad Compressors and output compressors).
Hint: Pad Compressors are part of the drum kit parameters and can be saved by saving the
drum kit or creating a new drum kit (direct storage as “custom setting”). Output compressors
in General Settings are stored in the device database and are remembered on next start.
However, it is recommended to save out a preset to prevent the settings from being overwrit-
ten or discarded as soon as you change the drum kit.
12.2.1.3 PRESETS – EQUALIZER AND COMPRESSOR
When you apply this section to Pad Equalizer and Pad Compressors of the Kit Editor, note that aside
from storing the preset, the Drum Kit may be saved as well to assign the preset permanently. Com-
pressors and Equalizer in mode General Settings are no Drum Kit Parameters but are stored automat-
ically in the Device database (either as a preset or directly). The device database does not require
