Compressor is an effect commonly used to limit and compress the dynamics (softness/loudness) of an audio signal. For
signals that vary widely in dynamics, such as vocals and guitar parts, it “squeezes” the dynamic range, effectively making
soft sounds louder and loud sounds softer. When used with gain to boost the overall level, this creates a more powerful,
more consistently high-level sound.
This instrument features a Master Compressor which is applied to the entire sound of this instrument. Although preset
Master Compressor settings are provided, you can also create and save your original Master Compressor presets by
adjusting the related parameters. This display is available only when the “Master” tab is selected at the top of the Mixer
display.

NOTE

Master Compressor cannot be applied to an Audio Song or the Metronome sound.
