4.7 TimingFunctions 4 COMPRESSOR
To generate the timing illustration graphs, the following stimulus was used as the
reference. This is a tone burst signal that consists of 0.2 sec of full level signal preceded
and followed by 0.8 sec of signal at –20 dBr.
4.7.1 CompressorAttackControl
The attack control varies the timing behaviour of the compressor at the onset of gain
reduction, either due to the arrival of a peak level above the threshold or the further
increase in a level already above the threshold.
attack = minimum
attack = mid position
attack = maximum
The three diagrams above show the action of the attack control from minimum through
mid range to maximum setting.
