INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new TC Electronic TRIPLE•C Compressor

The TRIPLE•C is a highly flexible Compressor especially designed for single source processing but with a great variety of applications. Whether your main tasks are live production or in the recording studios we are confident the TRIPLE•C will cover your needs when it comes to compression. Three compression modes will comply the flexibility needed when working with different program material such as vocals, drums, bass, guitar etc.

•The Multi-band mode allows compression and spectral balancing of three independent bands on any single source without getting into the usual problems of pumping and breathing.

•The Full-range mode, offers standard compression utilizing the feed forward principle known from various analog Compressors. The TRIPLE•C simulates the best from analog Compressors and provides top quality Full-band compression instantaneously.

•The Envelope mode allows changing the dynamic content of the incoming source material in its entire duration. This can be used for various kinds of dynamic shaping e.g. for extending the sustain source or adding more “click” to percussive material such as a bass drum. The Envelope mode will also apply

in many Dance/DJ and more experimental types of music as a powerful tool of expression.

•The Sidechain function allows an external source to either fully control or contribute to the control of the compression performed by the TRIPLE•C.

•The TRIPLE•C Stereo version can perform either as a two stereo Compressor or as a TRIPLE•C Single version with Sidechain option.

Additionally the TRIPLE•C features all the best from the digital world such as factory and user presets, remote controllability via MIDI and Digital I/O.

This manual covers both the TRIPLE•C Single Channel version as well as the TRIPLE•C Stereo Channel version.
