GRL LED: Indicates Gain Reduction Limiter activity. If this LED is on,
incoming signals will be held at the GR limit instead of being compressed
any further. (p. 11)
Gain Reduction Meter: The display for the gain reduction process.
Shows the amount of compression measured in dB as an visual support
for the acoustic events.
Sidechain Filter (SCF): A tunable low cut filter in the sidechain of the
xpressor avoids overcompression and pumping when there is a lot of low
end energy in the mix.
Gain Reduction Limiter (GRL): Restricts the control voltage. This in-
novative limiter is not placed in the audio path as usual, but in the con-
trol circuit of the compressor. (p. 11)
Gain: The make-up gain of the xpressor. This controller compensates
for the loss in gain caused by the compression process.
Mix: The direct and the compressed signal can be blended in any
desired relation by simply turning the mix controller. Onboard parallel
compression!
Please note that in stereo operation both channels are always processed by one single
control voltage generated from a mix of both signals. This means you should only
compress adequate stereo material like sum signals in this mode - dissimilar signals
like a bass drum in one channel and a synth pad in the other will not give you the
intended 'dual mono' results.
