002: Compressor

(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, f: Output Level
The “Sensitivity” parameter sets the sensitivity of the com-
pressor. 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.

003: Limiter

(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 sig-

nals. The Limiter applies a peaking-type EQ to the trigger sig-

nal (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 chan-

nel individually.

a: Envelope Select
When L/R Mix is selected for this parameter, the left and
right channels are linked to control the Limiter using the
mixed signal. If L Only (or R Only) is selected, the left and
right channels are linked, and the Limiter is controlled via
only the left (or right) channel.
With L/R individually, the left and right channels control
the Limiter individually.
b: Ratio, c: Threshold [dB], e: Gain Adjust [dB]
This parameter sets the signal compression “Ratio”. Com-
pression is applied only when the signal level exceeds the
“Threshold” value.
