Intelligent Onboard Dynamics - elysia skulpter 500 Mode D'emploi

Intelligent Onboard Dynamics

The skulpter 500 features an integrated compressor
operated by just a single knob. Its potentiometer sets
the threshold based on a fixed 3:1 ratio and a soft
knee characteristic, while the attack and release parameters
were selected for their universal usefulness.
But wait – there's more! The compressor's easy and effective
one-knob-operation is supported by elysia's signature Auto
Fast function, which will automatically reduce the attack to its
shortest value when strong impulses and transients require it.
Technically, the discrete VCA responsible for reducing the gain
is placed in negative feedback with its following op amp. The
beauty of this is that the dynamics section is only part of the
signal chain when it is actually working. If there is no compres-
sion going on, the corresponding circuitry will be completely
bypassed.
Operation is as easy as it gets: If you want more compression,
turn the Comp controller further to the right. If you want no
compression at all, turn it fully to the left.
