4.7.2 CompressorReleaseControl
The release control varies the timing behaviour of the compressor during the recovery
period after a gain reduction, when the signal level has reduced from previous levels
above the threshold.
release = minimum
release = quarter-range
release = half-range
The above diagrams show that action of the release control from minimum to half range
(maximum range is too long to show successfully on this diagram).
