Compressor / Limiter

A compressor is a threshold driven process used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal by applying gain
reduction when the signal level exceeds the threshold and applying 'make-up gain' to keep the overall level
consistent. The compressor includes an automatic make-up gain function.
A Limiter is a dynamics process used to limit peak signal level by reducing signal level as it approaches or exceeds the
threshold.

You can set the unit of adjustment (octave bandwidth or
Q) in the main Settings screen, activated with the [menu]
button.
When the signal exceeds the threshold, it will be attenu-
ated according to the compression settings.
The the compression process is activated, the compres-
sion trnasform graphic in the dynamics touch screen
area will be highlighted in green.
The time it takes for the compression function to reach
full attenuation after the threshold has been reached.
The slower the attack time, the 'softer' the compression.
The time it takes for the compression function to return
to zero attentuation after full attentuation has been
reached.
The time it takes for the compression function to return
to zero attentuation after full attentuation has been
reached.
