Type

Sets the Compression type, which determines the signal source being fed to the RMS detector.

•In New (Feed Forward) mode, the compressor works like newer VCA-based compressors. The RMS detector sends a signal to the VCA that is an exact ratio of the desired compression, set by the ratio control.

•In Old (Feed Back) mode, the RMS detector receives a signal from the VCA output, and then feeds the VCA a signal based on the set signal ratio.
