RMS w/Ext Detector
Description
The RMS w/Ext Detector Compressor block computes the RMS level of the control signal and applies the compressor gain to the input signal based on the RMS value.
Variants
- RMS w/Ext Detector
- RMS w/Ext Detector Input and Gain Out

|---|---|---|---|

| TimeConstant | 121 | 1 to 8686 dB/s | Controls the time constant (TC) in dB/second that is used for calculating the RMS input value. The time constant determines how rapidly the compressor will respond to input signal level changes, e.g. the “Attack” 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 | - | Table values are the gain points used to apply for input signal level |
| IsDBps | True | True/False | Enable /Disable the control's Decay and TimeConstant either in dB or linear |
| NumChannels | 1 | 1 to 20 | Number of input and output channels. Change in this value requires re-compilation |

DSP Parameter Computation
TimeConstant = Abs(1 - 10^(TimeConstant/(10 * (FS + 0.0000001)))), Where TimeConstant is 20000/TimeConstant in dBps
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
