The Dynamics FX Module - Mode selector section
The Mode parameter lets you select the mode of the Dynamics effect:
• Comp. - Compressor
• VCA - Amplitude shaper
Compressor
While in Comp. mode, the effect is controlled by the following set of parameters:
The Dynamics FX module - Compressor mode
• Look A. - (Look ahead) Allows the compressor to “see what’s coming”, to better predict signal level changes
and allow for much more precise peak detection at the cost of latency;
• Off - The option is disabled (no Look Ahead ).
• 1ms - 1ms of audio latency is used for look ahead.
• 5ms - 5ms of audio latency is used for look ahead.
• Threshold - Adjusts the amplitude detection threshold between 0 and -48 dB.
• Ratio - Adjusts the compression ratio between 1:1 and 1:20 .
• Side Ch. - Enables side-chain input for the compressor, so instead of using the input signal for peak detection,
the peak detector uses one of Drumazon’s other instruments as an input.
• Input - Selects the input / control signal for side-chaining.
• Attack - Sets the attack time for the compressor’s envelope between 1 and 500 ms.
• Hold - Sets the hold time for the compressor’s envelope between 1 and 500 ms.
• Release - Sets the release time for the compressor’s envelope between 1 and 500 ms.
• Make Up - Sets audio level gain.
• FX - Crossfades between Dry and Wet signals.
VCA
In VCA Mode , the internal envelope is triggered by one (or more) instruments of your choice. The envelope then
modulates amplitude.
