• COMPRESSOR
Reduces the gain of the signal when it goes above a threshold.
Mode (RMS, Hilbert RMS, Peak, Hilbert Peak)
The peak detection algorithm used to follow transients.
Threshold (dB)
The level above which gain reduction takes place.
Attack (0.48 ms to 2 sec)
The time taken for the compressor to engage.
Decay (0.48 ms to 2 sec)
The time taken for the compressor to become inactive after the signal goes below the threshold.
Ratio (1:1 to 20:1)
The amount of gain reduction applied.
Makeup (-inf dB to 18 dB)
A post-compressor make-up gain control, to boost the volume of the compressed signal.
• REVERB
A reverberation effect, which simulates room reflections of a sound.
Size (0 to 100%)
This control adjusts the room size.
Decay-Time (0 to 100%)
Higher values lead to longer decay times for the reverb tail.
Damp (0 to 100%)
The amount of high-frequency damping that occurs.
Pinch (0 to 100%)
As this control is increased, the simulated room becomes more symmetric.
Squeeze (0 to 100%)
Increasing this control leads to a more metallic sound.
Freeze (off or on)
This control freezes the current wet reverb sound.
Mix (dry to wet)
Blends between dry (0) and wet (100) signals.
