Cmprs (compressor)

Cmprs opens the Compressor Setup window (see Figure 3.46). With the compressor

you can change the gain transfer characteristics of the signal path and control the

dynamics of a signal.

When the signal exceeds the threshold level, gain reduction occurs at the rate

specified by the reduction ratio. The attack time determines how aggressively the

compressor reacts to increases in level. The release time controls how aggressively

the compressor reacts to reductions in level. Select the Enable Compressor check

box to activate the compressor.

Group

Use the slider to assign this compressor to a compressor group. The default is None.

When you assign a compressor to a compressor group—

such as a group of three,

configured for bass, midrange, and treble—

the compressors will monitor each

other. When one compressor channel compresses, all compressors in the group

compress together. When configured properly, this results in a smooth audio

response throughout the frequency range, with no bass, midrange, or treble

dropouts. A given compressor group must be configured for a single PSR1212

unit; a group cannot use compressors from multiple PSR1212 units.

Compressors and com-

pressor groups can be

established only within

the PSR1212 unit being

configured, i.e., they cannot be

configured from a single point

across multiple units.
