Using the Compressor About the master compressor The MGP32X/MGP24X features two master compressors: Comp and Multiband. The Comp type has a simple single band, while the Multiband type has three separate bands. The master compressor controls peak level by applying the compressor to the stereo L/R bus, and raises the overall sound level. There are three preset programs installed, and you can save up to five user programs as desired. Specifying the compressor settings 1. Press the COMP button below the display repeatedly if necessary until the (1/4) MODE page appears.  Specifying the threshold 1.
