Dynamics Effects; Compressor - Native Instruments Razor Manual

Fig. Simple Pan Stereo Effect
▪ PAN: Panning. Sets the position in the stereo field.
▪ RAMP: Sets the increase of stereo amount from low partials to higher ones. Can be used
to prevent the low partials to be stereo as they usually have an high amplitude and
would dominate the stereo field. Partials in the bass range are never stereo regardless
of the RAMP setting.

Dynamics Effects

Contains effects altering the dynamics like compressor and saturator. It's the only 'real' ef­
fect section of RAZOR as these effect process the audio output of the synthesizer. 'Disso­
nance' and 'Stereo' effects are part of the additive synthesizer engine. The meter at the
bottom of the section shows the gain reduction caused by the dynamics effects.
Dissonance effects have great impact on distortion. Try different 'Dissonance' effects and
change their parameters to alter the distortion character.

Compressor

Clean Compressor.
In polyphonic mode the level of single notes are less than the level of several notes are played
at once like in chords. The compressor can be used to reduce these level differences.
