 M.BAND COMP
Two input, two output 3-band compressor, with individual solo and gain reduction metering for
each band.
Premium Rack Processor Parameters
 Portico5033
This models an analog 5-band EQ made by the RND company.
 Portico5043
This models an analog compressor/limiter made by the RND company.
LIM.ATK 0–120 ms Attack time of the limiter
LIM.REL
*1
Release time of the limiter
LIM.KNEE 0–5 Knee of the limiter
LIM.BYP OFF/ON Bypasses the limiter
PRESENCE –10 to +10
Positive (+) values lower the threshold of the high band and raise the
threshold of the low band. Negative (–) values do the opposite. If this is
set to 0, the high, mid, and low bands will be affected in the same way.
LOOKUP 0.0–100.0 ms Lookup delay
MAKE UP OFF/ON Automatically adjusts the output level
*1. 6.0 ms–46.0 s (fs=44.1 kHz), 5.0 ms–42.3 s (fs=48 kHz)
Parameter Range Description

TOTAL –72.0 dB to +12.0 dB Overall gain
CEILING –6.0 dB to 0.0 dB, OFF Restricts the output so that it will not exceed the specified level
LOW THRE –54.0 dB to 0.0 dB Threshold of the low band compressor
LOW RAT 1:1 to 20:1 Ratio of the low band compressor
LOW ATK 0–120 ms Attack time of the low band compressor

Parameter Range Description
Parameter Range Description
ALL BYPASS OFF, ON
Turns bypass on/off for the EQ. Even in the bypassed state, the signal will
pass through the input/output transformers and the amp circuit.

LMF Q 0.70 to 5.00 Q of the LMF band
LMF FREQ 50.00 to 400.0 Hz Center frequency of the LMF band
LMF GAIN –12.0 to 12.0 dB Gain of the LMF band
MF IN OFF, ON Switches the MF band on/off
MF Q 0.70 to 5.00 Q of the MF band

HF GAIN –12.0 to 12.0 dB Gain of the HF band
Parameter Range Description
IN OFF, ON
Turns bypass on/off for the compressor. When bypassed, the button will
be unlit. However even in the bypassed state, the signal will pass through
the input/output transformers and the amp circuit.
FB OFF, ON Switches between feed-forward type and feed-back type
