External Sidechain Pumping Compression 3 (synth)

from WMD Compressor by Matttech Modular Demos

/

about

The settings for this recording are the same as the previous track - "External Sidechain Pumping Compression 2 (synth)" - but this time with OUTPUT SATURATION switched on.

Each time the riff repeats the MAKEUP GAIN is boosted more. The OUTPUT SATURATION was set to 3 o'clock for most of the recordings. On the last version of the riff you can hear the difference when it is turned up to almost maximum. There is a loss of level once you go right up to maximum, so it's best to keep it just below this. The saturation takes on a brighter tone in this area though.

The technique used in this recording is very useful, as you essentially get voltage-controlled overdrive - The OUTPUT SATURATION only kicks in once the signal has come back up after being ducked by the side-chain. This can be useful to add harmonics to subby bass sounds that can often be hard to hear on smaller speakers, and it also makes it easier to tell what note they are playing.

Settings: The DETECTION switch is set to ADAPTIVE, and the KNEE set to HARD.
