Feature Overview - Source Audio Atlas Compressor SA252 User Manual

Feature Overview

Look Ahead Compression: When engaged, Look Ahead creates an imperceptible latency in
the signal that "looks into the future" and allows for an extra quick and smooth attack that
without any additional distortion or artifacts.
Side Chain Compression: Use the signal going to Input 2 to trigger the compression applied
to the signal going into Input 1.
Six Preset Positions: Use the Atlas's three-position toggle switch and two preset banks to
save six easily accessible presets.
Stereo Ins and Outs: Create two entirely different compression presets and run them in
series, parallel or run each to a separate output.
Bass Optimized Mode: Each of the six onboard compression circuits can be reloaded and
optimized for bass guitar with a simple button press.
Growing Library of Published Presets: For quick and easy access to a world of great tones,
try sampling sounds from a vast collection of published presets created by the Source Audio
team and the ever-growing Neuro Community.
Unprecedented Sound Sculpting Options: The powerful Neuro Desktop Editor (free
download for Mac and Windows) and Neuro Mobile App (iOS and Android) offer maximum
sound exploration possibilities. Use Neuro's DAW inspired editor to create custom Atlas
presets that can be burned directly to the pedal, saved to a private cloud-based library, or
shared publicly with other members of the Neuro Community.
128 MIDI Accessible Factory Presets: The addition of a third-party MIDI controller with USB
host provides access to any of the pedal's 128 Factory presets.
Compact Design: The extruded anodized aluminum housing, with its slim profile and small
footprint, is built for the rigors of the road.
MIDI Capable: Connect the Atlas to the Source Audio Neuro Hub or a USB-MIDI Host and
access up to 128 presets with MIDI Program Change (PC) messages. Control many of the
pedal's parameters with MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) messages.
USB Port: Class compliant USB-MIDI allows the Atlas to work as a plug-and-play device with
recording software running on Mac and Windows. The USB port offers connectivity to the
Neuro Desktop Editor as well as the Neuro Mobile App, providing access to deep editing
possibilities and pedal firmware updates.
Universal Bypass™: Select between analog buffered and relay-based True Bypass.
