EFX Type (Pre-Effect Types)

There are three pre-effects: compressor, limiter, and noise
suppressor. By using these you can adjust the level of the
sound being sampled.
Noise suppressor: This effect leaves the original sound
untouched, but mutes the noise that is heard during periods of
silence.
Compressor: By reducing high levels and raising low levels,
this effect smoothes out unevenness in volume.
Limiter: By compressing sounds that exceed a specified
volume level, this effect prevents the sound from distorting.
