AIR Compressor
This basic compressor effect changes the dynamic range of
a signal by automatically reducing its gain if it exceeds a
certain level.

This is the most transparent compressor, able to perform
substantial volume adjustments without artifacts.

The Opto Compressor is modeled after a vintage
compressor type using an optical circuit to control the
volume reduction of the input signal. These compressors are
usually associated with soft and unobtrusive attack and
