Why so many control knobs on the Dual Band Optical Compressor?
On the proto-types that I built, I wanted to have full control of the compressors parameters just like the rack units that I was use to. I don’t think that there is a “one size fits all” when it comes to compressor attack and release times and I also like having the crossover frequency adjustable. To have all of these parameters adjustable required 5 knobs each for both the low and high band compressors and a knob for the variable crossover frequency.
