RMS Input Average Compressor


This Module computes the Gain of the Compressor. Compression happens by taking the RMS of the Average of all inputs, and then looking up for the Gain based on the Compressor Graph.

Input Pins

NameFormat [int/dec] - [control/audio]Function Description
Pin 0: Input decimal - Audio Audio Input


Output Pins

NameFormat [int/dec] - [control/audio]Function Description
Pin 0: Output decimal - Audio Gain Output


Grow Algorithm

The module supports Input Channel growth upto a maximum of 6 channels.

Configuration


Compressor graph has a “Point Density” context menu option for varying the resolution of the Points in the compressor graph. 288(0.5db), 720(0.2db) and 1440(0.1db) are the Point densities supported.


GUI Control NameDefault ValueRangeFunction Description
RMSTC 121 1 – 8686 db/s Determines how rapidly the compressor will respond to input signal level changes
Hold 0 0-2000 Controls the time (in ms) the compressor maintains its current output gain setting before it starts decreasing as the input level decrease.
Decay 10 1 - 8686 db/s Controls the rate at which the compressor gain decreases in response to decrease in the input signal level.
Soft-knee - - Soft-knee lets the compressor ease into action, making a less-abrupt change from unprocessed signal to compressed signal.
Graph - - Compression Editor Graph.

Algorithm Description

This module computes the Gain of the Compressor. All the inputs to the module are first averaged. RMS value corresponding to the Input Average is computed and converted to dB scale. This value is looked up in the Compressor Graph table to obtain the Gain output value.
