Threshold level are compressed by a ratio of 7:1.
The available range is –40 dB to 0 dB.
Speed
Slow mode the effect is usually more subtle but can produce a more natural-
sounding result. The actual times of the two modes are as follows:
• Fast: Attack = 0.5ms, Release = 30ms.
• Slow: Attack = 2.0ms, Release = 120ms.
Click the Speed button to change the mode. Alternately, you can click+hold
the LED area and drag like a slider to change the value.
