GR Meter The Gain Reduction Meter displays the amount of gain reduction occurring
within the FATSO compressor, expressed as negative dB values.
Note: At extreme settings, the GR Meter may indicate gain reduction is oc-
curring even when the compressor is disabled. This behavior is identical to the
hardware unit.
Warmth This button defines the Warmth amount. Warmth simulates
the softening of the high frequencies that occurs with analog
tape saturation (see
“Warmth Processor” on page 223 for
detailed Warmth description). Higher values increase the
Warmth, as indicated by the Warmth Meter.
Values of 1 to 7 are available. The current value is indicated by the arc of
Warmth LED’s. Warmth is off when all LED’s are unlit.
Warmth Meter The Warmth Meter is a very accurate display of the amount of high frequency
attenuation, as defined by the Warmth button. The meter shows the amount of
HF gain reduction occurring at 20 kHz.
Note: At extreme settings, the Warmth Meter may indicate activity even
when Warmth is disabled. This behavior is identical to the hardware unit.
