COMPRESSOR section

In this section you can make settings for the internal compressor.
All parameters can be controlled from the top panel except for compressor library store/recall operations, compressor
type selection, and key-in signal selection.

1 COMPRESSOR [RATIO] encoder and [VALUE]
indicator
This sets the ratio of the internal compressor.
When the compressor type is set to COMP or
EXPANDER, the range is 1:1– :1 (16 steps). When
the compressor type is set to COMPANDER, the
range is 1:1–20:1 (15 steps).
2 COMPRESSOR FILTER [FREQUENCY] encoder
and [VALUE] indicator and [Hz]/[kHz] LEDs
This sets the cutoff frequency of the HPF or LPF that
is placed in the first stage of the internal compressor.
The range is 20 Hz – 20 kHz (121 steps).
The current value is shown in the [VALUE] indica-
tor. (Either the [Hz] or [kHz] LED will light to indi-
cate the units of the displayed value.)
The selection of HPF or LPF is made in the display
(OUT COMP function COMP PRM screen).
Hint
HPF and LPF cannot be used simultaneously.
If COMP is selected as the internal compressor type,
selecting HPF will allow it to function as a "de-esser."
3 COMPRESSOR FILTER [ON] switch and LED
This is an on/off switch for the HPF or LPF that is
placed in the first stage of the internal compressor.

4 COMPRESSOR [ATTACK]/[RELEASE] switches
and LEDs
These switches select the function of the ATTACK/
RELEASE [TIME] encoder (5) located to the left of
the switches.
5 COMPRESSOR ATTACK/RELEASE [TIME]
encoder, [VALUE] indicator, and [msec]/[sec] LEDs
This encoder adjusts the ATTACK (attack time) or
RELEASE (release time) of the internal compressor,
according to the setting of the COMPRESSOR
[ATTACK]/[RELEASE] switches (4).
The attack time range is 0 msec – 120 msec . The
release time range is 5 msec – 42.3 sec.
The current value is shown in the [VALUE] indica-
tor. (Either the [msec] or [sec] LED will light to indi-
cate the units of the displayed value.)
6 COMPRESSOR WIDTH (dB)/KNEE encoder,
[VALUE] indicator, and [WIDTH]/[KNEE] LEDs
The function of this encoder will depend on the cur-
rently selected compressor type.

When the COMPRESSOR [ATTACK] LED is lit,
the ATTACK/RELEASE [TIME] encoder will set
the ATTACK (attack time)
When the COMPRESSOR [RELEASE] LED is lit,
the ATTACK/RELEASE [TIME] encoder will set
the RELEASE (release time)
