• FF/FB:  New or modern feed-forward or old classic feedback topology as used in renowned analog processors.

  • Peak/RMS:  The compressor can act on peak energy as well as RMS energy.

  • Blend:  Blend the compressed with the uncompressed signal. This creates a parallel compression effect.

  • Link:  Act as two separate compressors (left and right) or sum the signal so the compressors behave the same. The link function and filters make a more consistent stereo-image possible. If you have a loud sound on one channel you don’t want the other channel compressing the same.

  • Additional LINK info:  This can be a complex function to understand! This is a feature very handy for example in percussion groups.  If you have percussive sounds on the left, you don't want the compressor working on the right channel (or at least not that much). Or for example a deep sound going from left to right.  Imagine what this will do if the compressor is fully linked. So this is where the filtering and link-percentage comes in.

  • SC Filter:  Even smarter side-chain filtering for enhanced and more musical compression.

  • Analog Modus:  This gives the signal analog-modeled distortion and coloration which can add excitement to any signal.  You can also drive the circuits more with this feature enabled.

  • Easy setting:  Nine preset Attack, Release and Ratio values.

  • Dynamic DSP:  Functions which are not used are not loaded onto DSPs for highly efficient DSP usage.

  • Phase Alignment Technology:  The processed and unprocessed signal stay in phase in other words the bypassed plug-in has the same sample-accurate latency as non-bypassed.

 
  • MIDI-controllable:  Control the parameters with an external MIDI controller.

  • VU metering, PPM LED metering and clip-LED for fast transients.

  • Large GUI with 'analog-style' big knobs and big meters (also more precise LED-meters), because big knobs just sound better, haha ;-)

  • Compatible with Scope software 5.x

  • Compatible with all Scope hardware

  • 96kHz capable

  • Threshold: 0 to -60dBFs 

  • Gain Makeup: 0 to +24dB 

  • Attack: ± 50μs to 50ms 

  • Release: ± 50ms to 5.0s 

  • Ratio: 1.2:1 to 10:1 

  • SC-filter: No filter, Vintage (slight bass roll-off and vintage LP filter), Medium (slight bass roll-off and boosting high frequencies), SMACK! (special filter) 

  • SC-Mode: New/Modern feed-forward or Old/Classic feedback 

  • Comp Mode: Peak/RMS 

  • Link: 0-100% 

  • Link filter: Full (No filter), HPF, LPF, BPF 

  • Blend: 0-100% (Original - Compressed) 

  • Analog: Enable analog modeling distortion and coloration

  • DSP: The dNa-MasterCOMP will use roughly between 765 ~ 1210 DSP cycles depending on settings on the old 60Mhz SHARC (older Creamware cards). (Max just over 1 Sharc)
