Compressor control
The Low, Mid and High parameters indicate the set
compression amount for the three bands.
• Grab COMP and position this icon freely within the
triangle to distribute the amount of compression on the
three bands.
If the compression should primarily be on the low end
frequencies move COMP in that direction. Likewise with
the Mid and High areas.
Where the Gain parameter is used to gain the input of the
Compressor and also set the Make-up gain on the output,
the Compression Control adjusts the individual
compression amount on the three bands.

Level Control
Depending on the amount of applied compression you
may need to level compensate the three individual bands.
• Grab the LEVEL and position this handle freely within
the entire triangle.
Whereas the Make-up Gain function on the Gain page is
used as a general level compensation on the entire signal,
the Level control can be used to set the level of the three
bands individually.

• Grab the “C”, “L” or “G” handle using the left mouse button.
• Press and hold the Alt key (Mac: Command key), while moving the mouse in a circle. The “compass” function
is now active and you can select one of 2 to 6 directions.
• Release the Alt key (Mac: Command key)and move the mouse still holding the left mouse button pressed to
select desired values.
• Release mouse button to release the grid.
Adjusting Parameters - Compressor section
As described in the previous section the parameters on the 4 Compression pages are adjusted simply by grabbing and
moving the “S”, “G”, “C” and “L” handles - however, a few extra cool features are available.
Grid
On the Source pages the “S” handle moves in vertical and horizontal directions only, but on the Compression Control, Level
and Gain pages the “C”, “L” and “G” handles move freely in all directions. You may, however, see the advantage of moving
the handle in one direction only. Therefore it is possible to lock a direction in a “grid”.
Compression
- Full-band mode
The Compressor is in Full-band mode when “3-band” is
not marked.
In 3-band mode the Compression Control COMP and the
Level Control LEVEL handle the distribution of
compression and level between the 3 bands. In Full-band
mode these controls are redundant and not available.
In Full-band mode only Source and GAIN apply.
