Overloud Gem Comp76 FET Compressor and Limiter Plug-In - Manual (Page 31)

OVERLOUD GEMS COMP670
METERING - Meters can be set to display Gain Reduction, Input, Output or Harmonic generation
levels.
LINK - All LINK switches optionally connect equiva-
lent controls present on LEFT/RIGHT or LAT/VERT
channels.
DC THRESHOLD - This control is a small trimmer inside the compressor unit, to be adjusted with a
screwdriver. It changes the compression curve, from soft-knee to hard-knee.
HARM - Adjusts the amount of non linear processing, which turns into adding harmonics to enrich
the processed signal.
OUTPUT - Controls the level of the two channels after the compression. Can be used as a make-up
gain. In LAT/VERT mode it can increase or reduce the stereo image in proportion to the mono
image.
SIDECHAIN FILTER - Additional high pass fi lter on the sidechain which makes the compression less
sensitive to bass frequencies. This is useful to reduce the pumping e ff ect if the processed signal
has much bass frequencies.
PARALLEL - Mixes DRY and WET signals creating a parallel compression e ff ect.
OUTPUT - Controls the overall output level.
STEREO LINK - When set in LEFT/RIGHT mode, the compressor works as two independent mono
compressor units. This PREFERENCE optionally links both compressors together.
This diagram describes the COMP670 internal sections and the way they are interconnected.

The chain button on the top bar can be used
