Compressor
Compressor patch information
| Control | Parameter | Left LED | Right LED |
|---|---|---|---|
| Left knob | Threshold | Gain reduction | |
| Right knob | Make-up gain | ||
| Encoder button | Ratio (2:1, 4:1, 8:1, 16:1) | R O G B | |
| Encoder | |||
| Left button | Attack time (ms): 10, 40, 80, 120 | R O G B | |
| Right button | Release time (ms) 10, 80, 160, 320 | R O G B |
The colour of the left LED indicates which value has been selected. So if you click on the encoder a ratio of 2:1 is red, 4:1 orange, 8:1 green and 16:1 blue.
For attack times, red is 10ms, orange is 40ms, green is 80ms and blue is 120ms. Same principle applies for release (see table above).
The encoder doesn’t do anything at the moment.
Open the patch compressor_mono.pd in Plugdata to get an idea of how it works. I have essentially pulled apart the hv.comp~ and adapted it to allow more parameters to be set.
