A full-featured dynamics processor that works as a compressor, limiter, gate, expander and waveshaper, individually or all at once.

A unique two-threshold system shapes the dynamics response, continuous VCA/Opto and Peak/RMS controls define the envelope detection, and filters determine which frequencies are processed. Mid/side processing, multiple stereo linking options, a dry/wet control for parallel compression and a post brickwall limiter or clipper with optional lookahead complete the feature set. Three external side-chain modes are available, using the side-chain input, MIDI or automation, and the display of dynamics response, envelopes and gain reduction can also be recorded as automation curves.
