4.3.3. Compression Range
This control works in conjunction with the Compression Ratio.
What it does is limiting the amount of gain reduction applied, acting in practice as a Gain
Reduction Limiter. The higher the value, the less gain reduction is applied. At 0 dB the
Compression Ratio is 1:1 (no compression).
By default, it is positioned at -100 dB (full compression). The value can be increased by any
value up to 0 dB.
Placing the control at 0 dB (no compression) is equivalent to the "no button" option in the
original hardware, which allows to use the Comp FET-96 merely as an amplifier, taking
advantage of its pleasant coloring and saturation.
4.3.4. Listen
This button enables listening to the Side-Chain signal. It is a good way to listen to the
effect induced when we apply some EQ to the detection signal, and to determine how
Compression will be applied when some frequencies are boosted or cut due to equalization
of the detection signal.
