Threshold:
If the input level exceeds this val-
ue, the compression process will start.
Feed Forward:
switches the feed of the side-
chain alternatively behind (feedback) or in
front (feed forward) of the actual compres-
sor section.
Attack:
the transient response of the com-
pressor. It determines the time the alpha
compressor needs to react to a peak.
Auto Fast:
a semi-automation. This function
shortens the attack time automatically on
fast and loud signal impulses.
Release:
the return phase of the compressor.
It controls the period of time that the com-
pressor takes to return back to unity gain af-
ter 6 dB of gain reduction.
Auto Fast:
the semi-automated regulation
of the time constants is also available for the
release controller.
Ratio:
the relation between the input level
and the output level. The printed values
double in feed forward mode.
EQ Gain:
the characteristic of the Niveau
Filter. Between the mid and fully counter-
clockwise position, bass is boosted and tre-
ble is cut (vice versa in the other direction).
On:
activates the Niveau Filter. In the signal
path, this special EQ is placed after the com-
pressor part, thus it will not influence the be-
havior of the dynamics section.
EQ Freq:
the center frequency of the Niveau
Filter. Around this reference point, the bass is
boosted and treble is cut or vice versa.
x10:
shifts the frequency range of the Niveau
Filter by a factor of ten.
SC Gain:
sets the integrated sidechain filter
from low pass to high pass with lots of useful
intermediate values.
On:
activates the sidechain filter.
SC Freq:
sets the center frequency of the in-
tegrated sidechain filter.
