Master Compressor

Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For signals
that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it "squeezes" the dynamic range, effectively making soft sounds
louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall level, this creates a more powerful, more consistently
high-level sound. Compression can be used to increase sustain for electric guitar, smooth out the volume of a vocal, or bring a
drum kit or rhythm pattern further up-front in the mix.
The TYROS has a sophisticated multi-band compressor that allows you to adjust the compression effect for individual frequency
bands — giving you detailed sonic control. You edit and save your own custom Compressor types, or conveniently select from
one of the presets by calling up the [MIXING CONSOLE] → CMP display.
G Master Compressor type selection and editing
Selecting a Master Compressor
type automatically sets the parame-
ters (at the bottom of the display) to
the optimum values for the type.
Determines the fre-
quency curve for the
Compressor, or which
frequencies compres-
sion is applied to.

Line Out Settings

The [MIXING CONSOLE] → LINE OUT display allows you to send the output of a selected Part or Parts to the LINE OUT
jacks. For Drum Parts, you can even select specific drum sounds to be output through these jacks.
In general, the extensive built-in effects and other Part controls of the TYROS provide all you need for processing and mixing
complex multi-Part songs. However, there may be times when you want to "sweeten" or process a certain Voice or sound with a
favorite outboard effect unit, or record a Part to a separate track of a tape recorder. The Line Out settings are designed just for
these kinds of applications.
