• Bypass buttons: Bypass the selected frequency band.
• Solo buttons: Turn on to hear compression on only the selected frequency band.
• Level meters: The bar on the left shows the input level, and the bar on the right shows
the output level.
MainStage Multipressor output parameters
Multipressor parameters are grouped into three main areas:the graphic display in the
upper section, the set of controls for each frequency band in the lower section, and the
output parameters on the right.
Output parameters
• AutoGain pop-up menu: Turn on to reference the overall processing of the signal to
0dB, making the output louder.
• Lookahead value field: Set how far ahead the effect analyzes the incoming signal,
allowing faster reactions to peak volumes.
• Out slider and field: Set the overall gain at the Multipressor output.
• Level meter: Shows the overall output level.
Use MainStage Multipressor
In the graphic display, the blue bars show the gain change—not merely the gain reduction—
as with a standard compressor. The gain change display is a composite value consisting of
the compression reduction, plus the expander reduction, plus the auto gain compensation,
plus the gain make-up.
