*1: Using the master comp
5 When used as a compressor, this allows you to raise the overall loudness of the drums by compressing brief peaks in the
sound. This lets the sound project better, without being buried in the mix by the other instruments.
5 When used as a comp-limiter, this lets you increase the recording level while limiting the maximum input to the recording
device.
5 If you're using a small monitor amp, you can use this effect as a limiter so that the peaks of the drum sound are limited,
making the sound less likely to distort.

Explanation
Adjusts the dynamics of each pad (pad compressor).
Adjusts the sound of the overhead mics that capture the entire
drum kit.
Simulates the reverberation and resonance of the location in
which you're playing the drums.
You can obtain a more natural and present drum sound by
adjusting the type of room and its size (room ambience), and
the reverberation (reverb).
You can choose up to three effects from 30 types, and apply
these effects to the drum kit.
MEMO
To switch the type of MFX, move the cursor to the location

Adjusts the overall dynamics of the drum kit.
Make settings for the stereo compressor/limiter (master comp)
that is applied on the final stage of the master output.
Adjust the tonal character of the entire drum kit by boosting or
cutting each of four bands (LOW, MID1, MID2, HIGH). You can
also use this to compensate the tonal character when using
master comp.
