Bypass: Bypass is used to toggle the Compressor On/Off. It allows you to
compare the original signal with the compressed one.
Options: LED on=bypass on, LED off=bypass off.
Opto/Elct: Toggles the Compressor behavior between Opto and Electro.
Elct: Electro mode has a release time behavior that is increasingly faster as
the gain reduction approaches zero, but only when gain reduction is less
than 3dB.
Opto: Opto-coupled behavior always “puts on the brakes” as the gain
reduction approaches 0dBFS, i.e., the release time gets slower as the “nee-
dle comes back to zero”.
