Select this option when you do not use any effects.

1: Stereo Compressor

This effect compresses the input signal to regulate the level and

give a “punchy” effect. It is useful for guitar, piano, and drum

sounds. This is a stereo compressor. You can link left and right

channels, or use each channel separately.

a: Envelope Select

This parameter selects whether the left and right channels are

linked to control both signals simultaneously, or whether each

channel is controlled independently.

b: Sensitivity

g: Output Level

The “Sensitivity” parameter sets the sensitivity of the compres-

sor. If this parameter is set to a higher value, lower level sounds

will be boosted. With a higher Sensitivity, the overall volume

level is higher. To adjust the final volume level, use the “Output

Level” parameter.

c: Attack

This parameter controls the attack level.

2: Dyn. Compressor

When playing chords on an electric piano or similar instrument,

it’s helpful to use a compressor to keep each note smooth and

well-balanced. In addition to a distinctive percussive accent, it

will also provide a long sustain. This effect models a popular

compressor with a clean sound that’s perfect for pop and funk

music.

3: Stereo Limiter

The Limiter regulates the input signal level. It is similar to the

Compressor, except that the Limiter compresses only signals that

exceed the specified level to lower unnecessary peak signals. The

Limiter applies a peaking-type EQ to the trigger signal (which

controls the degree of the Limiter effect), allowing you to set any

band width to be covered. This effect is a stereo limiter. You can

link left and right channels, or use each channel individually.
