Master Compressor - Yamaha Tyros3 Owner's Manual

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.
