Input controls the volume of the signal entering the audio compression path.
Range
-20 to 0
Resolution
1dB steps
Default
-14 (unity gain, input = output).
Threshold sets the amount of signal compression.
Range
0 to10
Resolution
0.1 steps
Default
0 (no compression)
Please note:
The scale is not linear and has been adjusted to conform to the exact scaling of the modeled
unit. Thus, there may be more compression than expected at certain steps, as with analog gear.
Time Constant controls the fixed Attack and Release lengths.
Range
1 to 6
Resolution
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
Default
1
The following values are based on the original values, as publicized by Fairchild. Our
measurements, however, differed considerably from the values given. Therefore, we suggest
using these values as a rough guide, based on 10dB of compression.
Position 1
Attack: .2 ms
Release: 0.3 seconds
Position 2
Attack: .2 ms
Release: 0.8 seconds
Position 3
Attack: 4 ms
