Master Comp Parameter

Explanation

Compressor Type

Compressor type

Standard Compressor:

A three-band compressor that’s simple and easy to use.

FETComp-76:

This models a classic studio-use FET compressor.

  • When you select FETCOMP-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 FETCOMP-76 effect, as this may cause the output sound to distort or produce noise. If this happens, lower the Input Level or Output Level or take other measures to adjust the volume.

Comp parameters

The editable parameters differ depending on the type of compression you selected in Compressor Type.

Standard Compressor

Parameter

Explanation

Template

Compressor templates

Control

Adjusts the depth of the compressor

Higher values produce a stronger effect.

Input Gain

Amount of boost/cut for the input to the EQ

Split Freq High

Frequency at which the high-frequency band (HIGH) and mid-frequency band (MID) are divided

Split Freq Low

Frequency at which the low-frequency band (LOW) and mid-frequency band (MID) are divided

Low Threshold

Volume level at which low-frequency compression begins

Low Ratio

Compression ratio for the low-frequency range

Low Knee

This function smooths out the transition from the uncompressed state to the state in which compression is just beginning.

Compression is gradually applied starting just before the Low Threshold point. Higher values produce a smoother transition.

Low Attack

Specifies the time from when the input exceeds Low Threshold until compression is applied to the volume of the midrange band.

Low Release

This sets the time it takes to stop low-band audio compression once the input falls below Low Threshold, from the time that compression is applied.

Low Output Gain

Low-frequency output volume

Mid Threshold

Volume level at which mid-frequency compression begins

Mid Ratio

Compression ratio for the mid-frequency range

Mid Knee

This function smooths out the transition from the uncompressed state to the state in which compression is just beginning.

Compression is gradually applied starting just before the Mid Threshold point. Higher values produce a smoother transition.

Mid Attack

Specifies the time from when the input exceeds Mid Threshold until compression is applied to the volume of the mid-frequency band.

Mid Release

This sets the time it takes to stop midrange audio compression once the input falls below Mid Threshold, from the time that compression is applied.

Mid Output Gain

Mid-frequency output volume

High Threshold

Volume level at which high-frequency compression begins

High Ratio

Compression ratio for the high-frequency range

High Knee

This function smooths out the transition from the uncompressed state to the state in which compression is just beginning.

Compression is gradually applied starting just before the High Threshold point. Higher values produce a smoother transition.

High Attack

Specifies the time from when the input exceeds High Threshold until compression is applied to the volume of the high-frequency band.

High Release

This sets the time it takes to stop high-band audio compression once the input falls below High Threshold, from the time that compression is applied.

High Output Gain

High-frequency output volume

Explanation

Template

Compressor templates

Control

Adjusts the depth of the compressor

Higher values produce a stronger effect.

Input Level

The input volume

Output Level

The output volume

Attack

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

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 until compression stops.

Ratio Mode

Compression ratio

ALL: This works the same as if all buttons were pressed.

Balance

The volume balance of the sound that passes through the compressor (W) and the unprocessed sound (D)

Compress Sw

If this is “ON”, the compression effect is applied.
