Compressor / Gate
Excerpt from Wowa Cwejman in the Modwiggler forum with edits for grammar and formatting:
COMPRESSOR:
"One knob" action so the higher compression the higher internal make up gain for compensating the gain loss. Attack and Release is an advanced envelope follower in two separate stages and control the compression. The sidechain includes a 2 pole low pass and high pass filter with a switch; LP, OFF, HP. The frequency cutoff determines the content of the audio signal controlling the envelope follower, a standard side chain style. You can use an external signal (input RETURN) in switch HPF/LPF in the middle position or in series with build in side chain filter (HPF, LPF).
MUTE:
Mute is controlled by an incoming signal at the audio input. There are two Mute modes, AR and AD.
AR mode - controls the attenuation for the signal by following the gate signal. The release does not start until the gate is low.
AD mode - controls the attenuation for the signal by the gate signal. Decay start as soon as the Attack stage has completed.
The threshold for activating the transient generator is set by the THRESHOLD knob and the depth for the muted signal by the DEPTH knob. The GATE switch selects the length for the gate signal. S = short, L = long, M = middle. It's very useful for different audio material. Long is good with the side chain filter in LPF mode. LED above the GATE output indicates the activity (if totally off then no muting action). Built-in side chain filter for the MUTE section is identical to the compression side chain. The external GATE can activate the transient generator from an external signal (any waveform and bigger than 2 Volts). All CV controls are the lowest row jacks. Both compressor and Mute is accomplished by a single high-end VCA so the overall signal quality (noise and distortion) is very good.
BYPASS:
A hardwired bypass directly from the audio input to the audio output.
