The Peak Compressor block computes the peak level of the input signal, if peak of the signal is more than the threshold level, signal level immediately changes to new peak level and if the peak level is below the threshold level, it slowly reaches the new peak level by accounting to the hold and decay time.

---|---|---|---|
Hold | 0 ms | 0 to 2000 ms | Controls the time (in ms) the compressor maintains its current output gain setting before it starts decreasing as the input level decrease. |
Decay | 10 dB/s | 0 to 10000 dB/s | Controls the rate at which the compressor gain decreases in response to decrease in the input signal level, e.g. the “Release” time. |
SoftKnee | False | True/False | Soft-knee lets the compressor ease into action, making a less-abrupt change from unprocessed signal to compressed signal. If it is not activated, the default is hard-knee behavior, in which compression rate reduces or increases abruptly with the threshold level |
Table | All values are 1 by default | - | Table values are the output to input gain level points |
IsDBps | True | True/False | Enable /Disable the Control Decay to be either in dB or linear scale |
NumChannels | 1 | 1 to 20 | Number of input and/or output channels. Change in this value requires re-compilation |

Hold | Hold value | Float |
Decay | Decay value | Float |
Table | Table values | Float |
Decay = (20000/Decay)/(FS + 0.0000001) (When Decay is in dBps) or Decay/(FS + 0.0000001) (When Decay is in linear)
Hold = FS * Hold/1000
Where FS is the sampling rate
