RackPack: DynaMaxx
DE-COM. (De-Compression)
The DE-COMPRESSION function inverts the operation of the compres-
sor to produce new dynamic headroom, which may be used to increase
the dynamic range of a (previously overcompressed) signal.
The process may also be used to expand the dynamic range of other
sources, such as drum or synthesizer samples. Especially when cre-
ating loops, overcompressed samples can result in lifeless sounds.
With the DynaMaxx you can simply de-compress the signals again.
Interesting effects can also be achieved by applying different settings
to the channels of a stereo source.
IMPORTANT: While MAKE-UP GAIN increases the output level in stan-
dard mode, this function is also inverted in DE-COMPRESSION mode
– turning the control clockwise reduces the output level.
The following diagram shows different characteristic curves in DE-
COMPRESSION mode:
