If this LED is on, incoming signals will be held at the GR limit instead of being compressed any further. (p. 11) Gain Reduction Meter: The display for the gain reduction process. Shows the amount of compression measured in dB as an visual support for the acoustic events.

Page 7: Auto Fast
Auto Fast The attack parameter is a crucial factor for the operation of a compressor. Choosing the right time setting is very important, but depending on the dynamic progress of the source material this is a difficult task – no matter if single tracks or complete mixes are processed. -
Page 8: Log Release
Log Release It is the time constants and especially the release parameter that decide if the processing of a compressor is obvious or unobtru- sive to the ear. As it is difficult to achieve perfect results for all kinds of different material with only one type of release curve, the xpres- sor offers two different options to choose from: logarithmic and linear. -
Page 9: Warm Mode
Warm Mode This function is basically a slew rate limiter that reduces the speed of the output amplifier stages. This affects the frequency spectrum, the harmonics and the transient response at the same time. Fast transients are slowed down a bit and the overall sound appears more round and merged. -
Page 10: Negative Ratios
Negative Ratios Negative ratios – what exactly does this mean? To get a better understanding of this function, it makes sense to realize what the ratio control of a ‘normal’ compressor does: • 1:1 The signal remains linear, there is no compression process going •... -
Page 11: Gain Reduction Limiter
Gain Reduction Limiter A specialty of the xpressor is the Gain Reduction Limiter for the control voltage. This limiter is not placed in the audio path where you would usually find it, but in the control path of the compres- sor instead. -
Page 12: External Sidechain
External Sidechain The external sidechain enables the compressor to control its processing totally independent from the audio material running through it. If an additional audio source is connected to the ex- ternal sidechain input of the xpressor, compression will not be triggered by the signals from the regular audio inputs anymore, but by a different signal which is fed into the sidechain input. -
