Compressor Controls

The Main Screen is made up of two sections:

•Global Controls

•Compressor Controls and Contour Edit Screen

The Global Controls section includes the Lock and Hide buttons, Preset up/down buttons, Preset title window, Active, Menu, and Mem A/B buttons.

The Compressor Controls section includes most of the controls and readouts. You can use your mouse to move the sliders left or right, or to select nodes with the Node Selector knob.

The Key Solo button allows you to listen to the key input on its own.

The Contour Edit Screen shows a graphical interface of the compressor contour, and meters showing input and output levels and gain reduction. The compressor contour can be changed by grabbing the nodes and moving them around.

These sections are described in the next few pages.
