Element Description
Bypass
Bypasses the compressor's function.
Soft Knee
Enables/disables the “Soft Knee” mode. This element controls whether the bend in the response
curve is a sharp angle or has a rounded edge. A soft knee slowly increases the compression
ratio as the level increases and eventually reaches the compression ratio set by the user. A soft
knee reduces the audible change from uncompressed to compressed, especially for higher
ratios where the changeover is more noticeable.
