Compressors are provided on CH1–32.
They apply a user-adjustable ratio of attenuation to input signals that exceed the threshold level.

The COMPRESSOR popup is used to perform compressor operations.

KEY-IN meter
This indicates the level of the key-in signal. For stereo-linked
channels, two meters (L and R) are shown.
IN meter
This indicates the input level to the compressor. For stereo-
linked channels, two meters (L and R) are shown.
GR (Gain Reduction) meter
This indicates the amount of gain reduction produced by the
compressor.
Compressor graph
This indicates the approximate response of the compressor.
OUT meter
This indicates the output level of the compressor. For stereo-
linked channels, two meters (L and R) are shown.
Parameters
In this field you can edit the compressor parameters.

THRESH knob
This adjusts the threshold level in a range of -40.0 dB–0.0 dB.
RATIO knob
This adjusts the RATIO in a range of 1.00:1–INF:1(14 steps).
ATTACK knob
This adjusts the ATTACK time in a range of 0.0 ms–800.0 ms.
This is the time from when the input signal exceeds the
threshold level until the compressor reaches its maximum
effect.
KNEE knob
This adjusts the KNEE in a range of HARD to SOFT1–SOFT9
(ten steps). The way in which the compressor applies to the
region near the threshold level can be adjusted between
steep (HARD) and gradual (SOFT9).
RELEASE knob
This adjusts the RELEASE time in a range of 0 ms–8000 ms.
This is the time from when the signal falls below the
threshold level until the compressor is no longer applied.
