DUAL BAND EXPERIMENTAL COMPRESSOR

INPUT BOTTOM & TOP
Set the input level with the GAIN knob. Since the
compression is relative to the input level higher gain will
result in more compression.
The indicator lamp reacts to the input with more
intensity as the signal gets louder.
The bottom and top bands are separated by lters, the
crossover frequency is set by the big X-OVER FREQ
knob in the middle. Use MUTE switches to listen to
bands individually.
AMOUNT knobs will control how much compression is
applied to each band.
The T.C (Time Constant) trimmers adjust how quickly
the comression is applied and released.

Thank you for supporting
Ekssperimental Sounds Studio!
Ekssperimental Sounds Studio is a one
man project driven by the passion for
experimental electronic sounds, new
and old synthesizers and music gear.
As a Reason user since 2001 it truly is
a dream come true to nally be able to
create my own synthesizers and effects
for the Reason rack.
Thanks to all of you who buy my
products I can continue to learn and
develope more fun and inspiring
devices for our beloved rack.
I hope you will enjoy AUTO X COMP!
