Smoothing out variances in volume (COMP)
Parameter | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
TYPE | CHCP-4K, OPTCP-2A, FETCP-76 | This selects the compressor type. CHCP-4K: This models a compressor with a built-in expander, such as those found on professional-grade mixers. OPTCP-2A: This models a vintage optical compressor that uses a vacuum tube. FETCP-76: This models a classic studio-use FET compressor. |
CHCP-4K parameters
Parameter | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
THRES | -60–0 [dB] | Adjusts the base level at which compression starts. |
RATIO | 0.00–1.00 | Adjusts the compression ratio. The effect works as a limiter when the value is set to 1.00. |
FAST ATK | Off, On | When this is on, the compressor switches to fast mode, in which 20 dB of compression is applied within 3 msec. |
RELEASE | 0–4000 [msec] | Adjusts the time after the input signal volume falls below the threshold until compression stops. |
EXPANDER | Off, On | Switches the expander on/off. |
EXP THRES | -60–0 [dB] | Sets the threshold (minimum level) with which noise suppression is applied. |
EXP RANGE | 0.00–1.00 | Adjusts the degree to which the expander/gate effect is applied. When this is set to 0.00, the effect is disabled; and when this is set to 1.00, a maximum of 50 dB noise is suppressed. |
EXP RELS | 0–4000 [msec] | Sets the speed at which the expander effect is intensified after the signal level falls below the threshold. |
OPTCP-2A parameters
Parameter | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
PEAK REDU | 0–100 | Adjusts the base level at which compression starts. |
GAIN | 0–100 | Adjusts the output level. |
HF | 0–100 | Adjusts the compression sensitivity to high-frequency signals. |
FETCP-76 parameters
Parameter | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
IN LEVEL | -Inf, -60–0 [dB] | Adjusts the input volume. |
OUT LEVEL | -Inf, -60–0 [dB] | Adjusts the output volume. |
ATTACK | 0.0–7.0 | Sets the time it takes for compression to start once the audio input crosses the threshold. A value of 0.0 is the longest time it takes for compression to be applied. |
RELEASE | 0.0–7.0 | Adjusts the time after the input signal volume falls below the threshold until compression stops. A value of 0.0 is the longest time it takes for compression to stop. |
RATIO | 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, ALL | Adjusts the compression ratio. When this is set to “ALL”, the effect behaves as if all options are selected. |
- When you select FETCP-76, this effect may output a very loud sound, depending on how the parameters are set. Also, use caution when inputting very loud sounds into the FETCP-76 effect, as this may cause the output sound to distort or produce noise. If this happens, lower the IN LEVEL or OUT LEVEL, or take other measures to adjust the volume.
