Memory Store Operation.12; Compressor - Yamaha FX500 Operation Manual

• Memory Store Operation
0 When the store operation is complete, the memory
location stored to will be selected automatically.
An edited effect program can be stored in any memory
location within the FXSOO's RAM memory area (61 through
90). Original effect programs stored in this way can be
selected and used in exactly the same way as the preset
effect programs. The ON/OFF status of each effect, the
selected order of the MOD and REV stages and MIDI
CONTROLLER assignments are stored along with all other
parameter data. The UTILITY mode TITLE EDIT function
can be used to create new titles for your original effect
programs after you have stored them in RAM memory.
(See "Program Title Edit" on page 19)

COMPRESSOR (COMP)
The compressor effect stage produces sustain or simple
"smoothing" by compressing the signal so that high levels
are suppressed while low levels are effectively boosted.
The use of compression before other effect stages is
particularly effective because it limits the signal to a
dynamic range that results in improved sound with the
subsequent effects.

THR (Threshold: -60 — 0 dB)
Sets the compressor threshold level, signal levels
exceeding the threshold level will be compressed while
those below the threshold level will be unaffected.
RAT (Ratio: 1/2,1/4,1/8,1H
This parameter sets the degree of compression. A
compression ratio of 1/2, for example, compresses signals
above the threshold level to one-half their original
amplitude. A setting of 1/«> produces almost total
compression, producing the same signal level for all
signals above the threshold level. This yields the greatest
degree of sustain.
