❏ COMPRESSOR 1 24 3 6 5 9 K J 8 7 M LN A Compressor graph Indicates the approximate response for the compressor of the currently selected channel. B GR meter This meter indicates the amount of gain reduction produced by the compressor. C TYPE Indicates the type of the currently selected compressor. D THRESHOLD (Threshold level) Specifies the threshold level at which the compressor will operate. The input signal will start being compressed when the key-in signal exceeds this level; compression will be removed when the signal falls below this level. E RATIO Specifies the ratio at which the input signal will be compressed when the key-in signal exceeds the threshold. F KNEE Specifies the sharpness at which the output level will change. You can select from HARD or 1-5. G ATTACK (Attack time) Specifies the time from when the key-in signal exceeds the threshold level until the signal starts being compressed. H RELEASE (Release time) Specifies the time from when the key-in signal falls below the threshold level until compression is removed. I GAIN Adjusts the gain of the signal after it has passed through the compressor. J ON (On/off) This button switches the compressor on/off. K LIBRARY This button accesses the compressor library. Clicking this button will open the COMP page of the LIBRARY window. L LINK (Stereo link) This button links the parameter settings and key-in signals of adjacent odd-numbered/even-numbered input channels or the L/R sides of a ST IN channel, so that compression will operate in tandem for the two channels. M COMP LINK GROUP (Compressor link group) Selects the compressor link group (1-8) to which that channel belongs. N KEY IN Selects the signal that will be used as the key-in signal. The types of signal that can be selected are the same as for the gate key-in signal (➥ p.22). 23 PM5D Editor Owner's Manual
