Effects Parameters
334 PM5D/PM5D-RH V2 / DSP5D Owner’s Manual Reference section
❏COMP276

This effect emulates the characteristics of analog compres-

sors that are widely used in recording studios. It will

produce a thick, strong frame sound suitable for drums

and bass. You can control two monaural channels

independently.

❏COMP276S

This effect emulates the characteristics of analog compres-

sors that are widely used in recording studios. It produces a

thick, strong frame sound suitable for drums and bass. You

can link and control the L and R channel parameters.

❏COMP260

This effect emulates the characteristics of mid 70’s com-

pressors/limiters that are the standard for live SR. You can

control two monaural channels independently. You can

also link several parameters via stereo links.

❏COMP260S

This effect emulates the characteristics of mid 70’s com-

pressors/limiters that are the standard for live SR. You can

link and control the L and R channel parameters.

Parameter Range Description
INPUT 1 –180.0 to 0 dB Adjusts the CH1 input level
OUTPUT 1 –180.0 to 0 dB Adjusts the CH1 output gain
RATIO 1 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1,
20:1 Ratio for CH1 compressor
ATTACK 1 0.022–50.4 ms Attack time for CH1 compressor
RELEASE1 10.88–544.22 ms Release time for CH1 compressor
MAKE UP1 OFF, ON
Automatically corrects output
gain reduction when CH1 com-
pressor is applied
SIDEHPF1 OFF, ON
When the HPF in the side chain of
the CH1 compressor is turned on,
the compression applied to the
low range will be weakened, thus
emphasizing the low range.
INPUT 2 –180.0 to 0 dB Adjusts the CH2 input level
OUTPUT 2 –180.0 to 0 dB Adjusts the CH2 output gain
RATIO 2 2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1,
20:1 Ratio of CH2 compressor
ATTACK 2 0.022–50.40 ms Attack time of CH2 compressor
RELEASE2 10.88–544.22 ms Release time of CH2 compressor
MAKE UP2 OFF, ON
Automatically corrects output
gain reduction when the CH2
compressor is applied
SIDEHPF2 OFF, ON
When the HPF in the side chain of
the CH2 compressor is turned on,
the compression applied to the
low range will be weakened, thus
emphasizing the low range.
Parameter Range Description
INPUT –180.0 to 0 dB Adjusts the input level
OUTPUT –180.0 to 0 dB Adjusts the output gain
RATIO 1:2, 4:1, 8:1, 12:1,
20:1 Ratio of the compressor
ATTACK 0.022–50.40 ms Attack time of the compressor
RELEASE 10.88–544.22 ms Release time of the compressor
MAKE UP OFF, ON
Automatically corrects output
gain reduction when the com-
pressor is applied
SIDE HPF OFF, ON
When the HPF in the side chain of
the compressor is turned on, the
compression applied to the low
range will be weakened, thus
emphasizing the low range.
Parameter Range Description
THRE.1 –60.0 to 0.0 dB Threshold of CH1 compressor
KNEE1 SOFT, MEDIUM,
HARD Knee of CH1 compressor
ATTACK1 0.010–80.0 ms Attack time of CH1 compressor
RELEASE1 6.2–999.0 ms Release time of CH1 compressor
RATIO1 1.00–500, ∞Ratio of CH1 compressor
OUTPUT1 –20.0 to 40.0 dB Adjusts the CH1 output gain
THRE.2 –60.0 to 0.0 dB Threshold of CH2 compressor
KNEE2 SOFT, MEDIUM,
HARD Knee of CH2 compressor
ATTACK2 0.010–80.0 ms Attack time of CH2 compressor
RELEASE2 6.2–999.0 ms Release time of CH2 compressor
RATIO2 1.00–500, ∞Ratio of CH2 compressor
OUTPUT2 –20.0 to 40.0 dB Adjusts the CH2 output gain
ST LINK OFF, ON
Links CH1 and CH2 as a stereo
pair. THRE., KNEE, ATTACK,
RELEASE, and RATIO parameters
are linked; OUTPUT parameter is
not linked
