Compressive display types
With a signal running through the compressor, a coloured line on the graph follows the
contour of the shaded graph area. The line’s colour changes according to which of the
three signal levels it is at.
• Uncompressed If signal doesn’t reach threshold (point where gradient changes),
the line is green. As the threshold is not exceeded, the signal is uncompressed.
• Within knee area If signal goes into knee area to point where gradient changes
(more obvious with medium and soft knees), compression starts to be applied and
line colour changes to yellow.
• Full compression If signal reaches the point where gradient changes (over-
threshold), full compression at selected ratio is applied and line colour changes to
red.

the compressor envelope and changes colour as it passes through the knee
Gate
While the dynamic section is addressing the gate, all of its controls are enabled except
the make up control knob and the MODE and KNEE buttons.
