Cmprs (compressor)

Cmprs opens the Compressor Setup window (see Figure 3.46). With the compressor you can change the gain transfer characteristics of the signal path and control the dynamics of a signal.

When the signal exceeds the threshold level, gain reduction occurs at the rate specified by the reduction ratio. The attack time determines how aggressively the compressor reacts to increases in level. The release time controls how aggressively the compressor reacts to reductions in level. Select the Enable Compressor check box to activate the compressor.

Group

Use the slider to assign this compressor to a compressor group. The default is None. When you assign a compressor to a compressor group—such as a group of three, configured for bass, midrange, and treble—the compressors will monitor each other. When one compressor channel compresses, all compressors in the group compress together. When configured properly, this results in a smooth audio response throughout the frequency range, with no bass, midrange, or treble dropouts. A given compressor group must be configured for a single PSR1212 unit; a group cannot use compressors from multiple PSR1212 units.
