Release
[5 µ , 5] s
The characteristic release time of the application of the gain reduction. Longer release times will
cause MIOComp to be maintain the gain reduction for a longer period of time after transients.
Longer release times are appropriate when using MIOComp as a leveling amp/AGC. Alternatively,
shorter release times are appropriate when using MIOComp to increase the apparent level of
impulsive material. Very short release times can lead to distortion in the output signal. The release
time is applied in the detector stage of MIOComp.
Knee
[0, 1]
Adjusts the shape of the knee of the compressor as the detector goes above threshold. When knee
is set to 0, the transition from no gain reduction to the specified ratio is immediate at the specified
threshold. As this parameter is increased, the transition between the 1:1 ratio and the specified
ratio is made more and more progressive, thus "softening" the action of the compressor.
Out Ceiling
[-60, 0] dB
Sets the maximum output level of the compressor. The output signal is hard-clipped, post com-
pressor, at this signal level.
Makeup Gain
[-30, 30] dB
Sets the additional gain applied to the signal post compressor. Is used to raise sub-threshold signal
level rather than reduce the super-threshold signal level.
Auto Gain
{Off, On}
When enabled, causes the compressor to automatically adjust the makeup gain to keep full-scale
input approximately at full-scale on output. This is a huertistic rule, and will likely need to be
trimmed by the user using the
Makeup Gain
.
SC Source
{Off, On}
Chooses the detector input source. Select between the input signal, and the sidechain input.
Master Bypass
{On, Off}
When enabled, fully bypasses the plugin.

MIOEq 6 Band
• Synopsis: 6 band Fully Parameteric EQ
• Category: EQ, Mastering
• Channels: 1, 2
Description:
MIOEq 6 Band implements a mono or stereo 6-band IIR EQ processor. Each band is fully parameteric,
and can be set to any of the filter types. All the parameters of all the bands can be set to any of valid
settings. The composite EQ curve is applied to the input signal, and the master gain is then applied
to the processed signal.
Note: Each band of EQ is capable of being configured as one of 6 types of EQ Filter. The types are:
Peaking/Parametric, Low Shelf, Hi Shelf, Hi Cut, Low Cut, Band Pass, and RIAA. The first 5 types are
parametric filters that allow you to use the Frequency, Gain and Bandwidth controls to adjust position
and shape of the filter that is applied. The RIAA type is special. It is used to decode a signal that has
been RIAA encoded (for example, the signal on a phonograph disc). This filter type would be selected
if you need to decode the output of a phonograph player that is directly connected to the inputs of
