RMS 4 band compressor is a multi-band compressor with 4 unique filter bands each with a unique compression curve and setting. The filter bands are configurable allowing the user to adjust the frequencies fed to each compression curve. Each compressor curve is individually configurable by means of a Graph and settings - attack, release hold and knee. The compression is applied by detecting the RMS value of the input signal and multiplying it with corresponding gain as set in the graph.

Link channels | disabled | enable/disable | links cross channel rms gains |
attack | 72 ms | 1- 500 (ms) | attack time, time in which compression kicks in when the input crosses the threshold |
hold | 72 ms | 1- 500 (ms) | hold time |
release | 868 ms | 1- 2000 (ms) | release time, time in which the compression is deactivated when the input falls below the threshold |
knee | 1 | 1-75 | softness of the compression kicking in determined by the knee |
indicator | disable | enable/disable | enables or disable the gain display meters |
compression curve | - | - | enables the user to define the compression curve by moving the points on the curve along the graph |

The Algorithm implements a FIR filter of order N, having N+1 filter taps. Multiple coefficient sets can be added to the module, enabling the routing of multiple inputs through multiple independent FIR filters to a given output selection line.
The FIR Filter Pool form has multiple tabs each having a particular routing selection and parameters between the inputs and outputs. The algorithm implements invert functionality which inverts the output samples and Reverse which access the loaded filter coefficient set in reverse for a particular selection.
The example shows The module configured to two inputs and three output channels with three independent FIR Filter coefficient sets. The three coefficients are Low pass FIR filters with cutoffs 2.4KHz,4.8kHz and 7.2KHz.
The output plots for the configuration are shown below.
